Oceanography [Thursday, Week 1, Period Five]
It was safe to say Summer was a bit nervous. Sure, she’d faced life and death situations and come out (mostly) unscathed but a classroom full of teenagers? That was enough cause to send just about anyone running for the hills.
Summer took a deep breath, not about to be dismayed. Once the last student settled in, she hopped off the desk she’d been sitting on. “Welcome everyone,” she began, a bright smile appearing on her face. “My name’s Summer Pitt and this is Oceanography.”
She paused, waiting to see if anyone had mistaken this for another class. When no one stood up to leave, she continued. “Since it’s the first day, I figure we can start off easy. Why don’t we go around the room and start with introductions? How about your name, grade, where you are from and something you’ve always wanted to know pertaining to the ocean. I’ll do my best to try and touch upon them as we go along.”
Summer decided she’d be the first to share some information about herself with her students. “I’m originally from California but I’ve been living in Washington D.C. for the past few years.” How she came to be there was quite a story. “I got into oceanography because of my parents. I’ve always wanted to know more about famous shipwrecks that occurred in history.”
Picking a student at random, Summer gestured in their direction. “Why don’t you start?”
Once the introductions were completed, Summer passed out the syllabus. “If anything changes, I’ll be sure to give you all an updated copy,” she added. “I’m also looking for a couple of T.A.’s, so if anyone’s interested, please see me after class.”
Having said that, Summer pulled up some slides that touched briefly on the subject and what they’d cover in the upcoming weeks. It was the first day after all, so she kept it short. No need to tire the students out on the first day.
[OOC: Syllabus | Class Roster. Have one TA chosen, if anyone else wants to volunteer for the second spot. Otherwise, we'll just go with one TA.]

OOC [9/3]
Also, slow play on pings after 3 PM EST due to work.
