Library [09/10]
Monday, September 10th, 2007 06:26 amSam headed to the library early to get some of the daily tasks done before the day really started, so he could work on other things as well.
"Good morning, class," Lulu said, leaning against the front of her desk as they entered. "I hope you had a ( pleasant weekend )

As the students made their way in to the classroom today, they would find a tray stacked with all sorts of breakfasty type treats and of course, coffee, tea and water for anyone who would like to have a quick bite to eat while Wilson was lecturing.
The doctor himself greeted everybody with an easy smile from where he was leaning against the desk, sipping on his own cup of coffee.

Advanced Mad Science, September 11th
Monday, September 10th, 2007 09:17 pmThe danger shop was set up quite differently today. Instead of the usual spooky lab, it was set up to look like a smokey warehouse filled with platforms and ramps and holey walls all over the place. Prof Tomoe beckoned the students over to a room on the side, where a desk had been set up in front of a curtained off area.
"Good afternoon, students," he said. "Now that we're familiar with each other, we're going to start introducing some of the tools that any good mad scientist should be familiar with. Today, we're going to be introducing the old standby: lasers."
He moved over to the side of the room to fiddle with a drawstring connected to a large theatre type curtain. "As you're doubtlessly well aware, a laser is a beam of light which has been amplified and concentrated to produce a narrow but intense beam. They're used for all sorts of purposes, from removing unwanted hair to 'tripy' light shows set to the music of Pink Floyd."
He grinned. "Far more interesting are death lasers, which you can attach to nefarious death machines." He pulled the cord, and the curtain whooshed back to reveal to a large metal laser canon pointed at two mannequins strapped down to tilted operating tables. One was wearing a messy blonde wig and the other a green wig, as though the Professor was trying to work out some hostilities. "Death lasers will not only cut through any material known to humankind, and will fire a off blasts at anyone who dares to break into your lab.
"You can try to shoot the dummies, but be warned that the canon cannot be pointed at anything but the tables. I don't trust you with real death lasers."
He pulled a large box marked NERF out from behind his desk. "So instead, we're going to play laser tag. Grab some equipment, and run around the laser tag area. Try to see how many of your fellow classmates you can hit before the period runs out." He let out an evil laugh for good measure.
"Also, I'm looking for a TA to help out in class," he said before everyone wandered off. "Come see me after class if you're interested."
Please wait for OCD threads. Up.

US Government [Tuesday, September 11]
Monday, September 10th, 2007 10:54 pmJosh was leafing through an old copy of the Congressional Record (because he's a dork like that) and mainlining coffee (because it was early and, well, he's Josh) when his government class arrived.
"Okay, before I can bore you all with American government, I need to give you some quick background." He clasped his hands together. "Prepare to be bored by Greek, Roman and early English government."
( And lo, the teal deer did gather outside his window. )
"No homework tonight, but I want you to divide up into groups of two or three and discuss this question: Is direct democracy practical today? In a nation of almost 300 million people, is it possible to simultaneously gather all of their opinions? Should we chuck the whole thing and just put me in charge?"

Prophecy in Theory and Practice, Class Two (09/11)
Monday, September 10th, 2007 11:01 pmTuesday, September 11, Second Period
Just as last week, today there was a table set in the middle of the room with lots of breakfast goodies, coffee, and tea. Along with the usual circle of armchairs, there were also a number of large cushions stacked against the walls, and a large wicker basket holding a variety of smallhandwavy items. Aziraphale was sitting in his chair, reading, but he set the book aside once the class was assembled.
"First of all, my apologies for not holding office hours yesterday. To make up for it, I'll be in my office today after class, if anyone needs to see me. Please be sure to turn in your homework from last week before you leave at the end of class."
( He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then began the lecture. )
[ooc: There is a description of the classroom here, as it's not arranged in the typical classroom style. The only requirement is that you tag the Sign In thread, but interacting with the other students in discussions and exercises is strongly encouraged. It'll be much more fun that way!Please wait for the OCD is up, but I am off to bed and will catch tags in the morning.
