It's a new day gang

*Rushes into 201 buttoning jacket and smoothing hair*

I understand we have some scheduling problems in here. I tell ya what...if you work diligently and talk to me directly if you feel you're falling behind, those of you in Padme's class can leave at quarter til. The rest of us will do body shots finish up any work and talk about what problems or questions have come up.

Ok, this being our first class, I'd like you all to introduce yourselves. Yes you must stand up at the front of the class. Clutch the lectern if you must. In a mini speech, impromptu, sell yourselves to the class. Where are you from? What's your life been like? (please no innapropriately personal details that may make uothers feel uncomfortable) What is your favorite food, hobby, etc? MOST IMPORTANTLY...why are you worth listening to? You will be making persuasive speeches, what makes you think you can do this...justify yourself and your authority.

I see most of you are also in 301, so you'll have sort of met already. Ok, comfortable? Go then.




Sorry about yesterday folks, it was one of those things you can't say no to. OK, so yesterday you got your first impressions out of the way. I wonder how many of you convey your true self through expression and body language. Well, let's find out. I want you to introduce yourself to the class. Stand up and tell us any and all details you want us to know. Got a cool story? Tell it. Feeling reserved? You don't have to say much. Since only I know what you turned in yesterday, only I and the writers will know if the impressions were correct.

This is establishing a trusting environment so we can productively handle sender/reciever relationships, meta-messges, persuasuion tactics, and all other manner of manipulative language, propaganda, and verbal evasion communication.

Okay, kids...let's go.

Chip, you go first, and keep it cleaner than yesterday.

Aw, teach, you never let me have any fun.

:::stands up:::: Hi, I'm Jack Harkness, and I enjoy dancing, singing and just about any... erm, *glances at [livejournal.com profile] prof_cregg, MUSIC you care to listen to. And also time travel. There was this one time when I was sentenced to execution, but my executioners... well, long story short (and clean), we still keep in touch.

Me! Me me me me next!

*blinks* *sees everyone staring*

Oh. Er.

I am Kefka. I like pretty clothes, and interesting chemicals, and burning things, and I can do magic although it's too much of a bother really. I've lived in a lab all of my life but one day I'm going to be a military leader and I'LL MAKE THEM PAY AND PAY.

Good afternoon. I'm Parker. No first name necessary.
*smiles*
I plan on ruling the world someday. Probably through business, but, I have to admit the political arena holds some appeal.
*grins*
Okay, I'm not entirely serious about that... It just seems rather likely.

This is my third boarding school in a year. The first one wasn't competitive enough, and the second... well. They were very *nice* nuns. But we had a difference of philosophical outlook, so we mutually decided to part ways.

*utterly deadpan* I have no idea how that goat got into that dormitory.

I'm originally from Blue Cove, Delaware, and I believe Dior is God, caffiene is a nutrient, cigarettes can be a controllable habit, and... uh... *desperately tries to think of a good ending*

Professor Cregg looks good on television!

Um, hi. I'm Rory Gilmore...I've lived in Stars Hollow, Connecticut with my mom, [livejournal.com profile] msgilmoredanes my entire life, and I want to go to Harvard. Oh, and someday I want to be a journalist.

Other than that, I hate being underestimated, and I love junk food.

So, uh, guess I'll go next. Name's...name's Chiana. ::smiles:: Yes, I'm grey. No, it's not makeup. No, I don't need a tan. Let's just say I'm, uh, let's just say I'm not from around here. As for... as for an interesting story? ::giggles:: Well, I can't really do that and keep this little speech "clean." Let's just say that, where I come from you conform and you... you don't do the things I... that I did. ::shrugs:: Other than that, I...I like to dance and food and cooking sometimes, and, uh... other... activities. ::sits back down::

Hullo everyone, Lily here. I'm excited to be in this course - I enjoy learning all sorts of things, but I've been especially interested in Interpersonal Communications as of late. I really feel like there's a whole lot of conversation going on, but it's very rare to find that the people conversing are actually listening to one another. I think a great many of the worlds misunderstandings arise only because people cannot commit the energy into really being there and fully knowing each other and their thoughts. I also wish people would step back and really think about what it is that they are trying to say before speaking, in order to give others something worth hearing.

*stands up shyly*

Um, my name is Piper Halliwell. I'm, uh, from San Francisco and I have three sisters. We were raised by my grandmother. Um, I love to cook. Grams says I've got real talent, but I'm not so sure. Anyway, I want to open my own restaurant someday.

*stands, walks to the front of the room and faces the class*

Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Jordan Collier. It is likely that you've already heard of me and my people. Some of it is true. Some of it isn't. I want you to disregard all of it. I am just like the rest of you. Being a 4400 doesn't change my human nature. It doesn't change the fact that when I meet someone for the first time, I feel a connection that supersedes words.

I have been told that I am a key to the future. That is not what makes me special. We are all keys to the future. That's why we are here. To unlock our potential. To make the world a better place.

Thank you for listening.

Hi, I'm Veronica Mars... but you can call me Veronica.

Never, EVER, Ronnie though.

And only one person is allowed to call me V and he's not here.

Anyway, I'm from Neptune, California. I worked for my dad as a private investigator last year, solved my best friend's murder and almost got killed in the process. After all that, my dad decided I should go away to finish high school.

I like photography.

I'm Lindsey McDonald and anyone who makes a crack about Lindsey being a girl's name is gonna get it.
I'm from Oklahoma, but that's hopefully well behind me now. Really rather not get into my life, if it's all the same to the rest of you.

I'm heading off to college and then law school once I'm done here, and I'm gonna be a damn fine attorney when I'm through. If you play nice here maybe I'll offer discounts to former classmates.

I'm gonna be a lawyer. I'm from Oklahoma and I hated it there and that's all I'll say about that.

William leans against the edge of a table and looks around at the class. "My name is William de Worde; I'm from the Discworld, which is a world that travels through space on the back of a giant tortise. I'm the editor for the school newspaper, and my job is to tell the truth."

He sits down.

Name's Colonel Jack O'Neill, two l's, not Jackie, not Johnny, Jack. I'm from Minnesota by way of Colorado Springs, I come from an Air Force background, I like Pina Colada's and getting lost in the rain. I travel to other planets through a Stargate with two smart-people and an alien. Teal'c is the ex right-hand-man of an evil alien overlord who wanted to take over Earth (Among other places). Danny used to be dead but he got better. Several times. Carter almost makes my brain explode on a daily basis. Doc scares me. The Asguard are big dumb stupid-heads and there are seven adult me's and three other not-adult me's running around somewhere. I may or may not be a clone. Everything else is classified.
