The Club Fair - Gym - Friday Afternoon

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Today was the day of the club fair! Wasn't it just so exciting?!

Jean was totally excited.

So excited, in fact, that she showed up early to find it just as everything was being set up like the little overachiever she was. Maybe she'd be able to swing voters here!

Oh look! The club schedule! This was going to be so great, right everyone?!

[[Please wait for the OCD is up, go to town!]]

Library [09/04]

By the luck of the draw, it would seem, Jonothon had found himself drafted into a shift in the school library.

This being his first semblance of what most people would refer to as a 'real job,' Jono decided it was important to familiarize himself with the items he could locate in his new workspace. Hole punch, paper clips (the shiny metal kind, not the multicoloured cop-outs coated in plastic), those little gold star stickers...

And then, with that settled, he flopped himself down in a chair and proceeded to get right to work. Mostly, this involved finding out how many paper clips he could stick to the hole punch using only ingenuity and the shiny little gold stars. Hard worker, that Jono.

Cafeteria - Lunch Time [Friday]

It was raining.

It was raining maple syrup.

And when Eric stopped by the cafeteria after his class, he found they had a special on waffles and pancakes today.

It was the best day ever!

Engineering Math, Period 2, 4 Sep '09

[offthelisthero.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop was set up to mimic a regular high school classroom as the students arrived. Standing by a desk at the front of the room a syrup-free Mohinder counted off the arrivals as they got in.

Class assembled, Mohinder took up a casual perch on his desk, and started, "Welcome class. I'm Dr Suresh, and you're in Engineering Math. If you didn't intend to be, then you've a few minutes to find yourself somewhere else." He started passing out the syllabus and a couple of handouts. "Now, we'll start with some introductions before the actual maths. It's Friday so you should know this by now - let's have your name, hometown, and favourite or lucky number or numbers."

When the introductions were over Mohinder walked over the board behind him and stuck two brightly coloured magnets to it. "The shortest route between two places is easy. A straight line." He illustrated. "Adding a third point," he stuck another one up and connected it, adding more as he continued, "makes it only a little more difficult. But the more you add, the faster it becomes even more complicated. Brute force calculations - trying out every possibility - becomes impractical with even 20 cities." He digressed into the problems of computation for a few minutes.

"I'm not asking you to solve that," Mohinder finished. "Although if you're looking for a million dollars there's a prize currently available for its solution. We'll be starting with something more small scale. You all have pedometers on your desks." He hit a button on the remote he was holding and the room dissolved into a wider area with several coloured points. "And a shortest route to find."
