Quantum Physics 123: Monday 17 October

[The Doctor is slightly jacked up on coffee.]

Thanks to everyone who turned in their papers last week in such a prompt manner. I appreciate it immensely. You'll get your papers back on Wednesday. So far everyone's doing well enough.

So far we haven't done much with the practical application of time travel. I want to have you do some not-quite hands on work, some that won't involve having you create paradoxes and me having to fix them. It's a very big pain, trust me.

This week we're going to be doing assignments in pairs. If there's an odd number of students, then there can be one group of three. I want you to take a particular event that happened recently at Fandom High and theorise as to different possible outcomes. Be creative, but don't be outrageous. The hard part of this is that you'll have to check things against your partner's work, so I'd like you to work with people that you don't know as well.


Oh, and Mr Harkness, you're not in trouble, but I'd like to talk to you after class.

John signs in, nods to the Doctor, doesn't look at his arms, oh no and sits down to wait for a partnet to start the assignment with.

Yo, John-boy, how's it hanging?

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

Not too bad, Jack. How're you?

Sonia signs in, then approaces the Doctor's desk. Beethoven is still with her, but breaks away to look around the classroom, inspecting and occassionally sniffing the odd object.

"Professor, that's Ludvig Beethoven- I hope you don't mind if he sits in vith the class today? Only I'm keeping an eye on him for a few days, and it...probably vouldn't be safe to just leave him alone, somevhere. Not in this school, at least."

Beethoven. [He gives the man a look.] Right, Ms Belmont. Just make sure he doesn't disturb your learning experience.

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no, don't vurry. He doesn't exactly, erm, speak English, so I doubt he'll be joining the discussion. Just...keeping to himself."

*rolls into the classroom at a high speed, and bounces off the opposite wall*

*ricochets off the ceiling*

*hits the edge of the teacher's desk and goes flying at an unpredictable angle*

*etc*

[catches her...] Er...right.

*she'd probably be pouting, if she was in the right form for it*

::sits down, nervously::

Great... of all the times for my study-buddies to drop out of school.

::rolls her eyes::

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Hey, Cally. Want to work with me?

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Sure, Jack. Though we might run into that whole different backgrounds issue when it comes to picking a historical event...

Jessica looks around for potential partners.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John smiles and comes up to introduce himself. "John Crichton. Wanna partner up for this?"

"Sure. So, what event do you want to discuss?" She stops, thinks, and adds, "As long as it's not Zombie Weekend, because I can't think of another outcome than 'We could have been eaten/mobbed/zombified.'"

[[Lemme know when/where is after class]]

((Just start a new thread, mark it 'after class' in the subject line.))

After Class

Jack lingers after dismissal, waiting around for the Doctor.

Mr Harkness...[opens his office door] Come in, sit down, close the door.

We need to talk. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/ten_and_chips/10221.html?thread=266733#t266733)

Re: After Class

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Hi. Yeah. Yesterday... it sounded like there was something you thought I should know.

[cyloninmyhead.livejournal.com]

Gaius arrives in class a little late. He checks out the assignment then looks around to see who hasn't partnered up.

[phases-of-kitty.livejournal.com]

Kitty arrives slightly late as week, after her meeting with the Dean (http://www.livejournal.com/users/dean_bristow/6686.html?thread=131358#t131358).

After catching up on what she missed, she approaches Gaius. "Hey," she says. "Do you want to work together on this?"

[cyloninmyhead.livejournal.com]

Gaius prefers to work alone, but since this assignment requires a partner, and from what he's seen in class this young woman seems quite intelligent, he smiles pleasantly. "Certainly. Shall we meet somewhere later to discuss the assignment?"
