Philosophy classroom: Thursday morning, office hours

[ooc: posted now to take advantage of both TAs actually being online at the same time]

Tara sits in her office, pouring over the notes she and Angelus have made, scratching out names and rearranging them on a list. Faint noises of construction are audible at the back of the classroom.

[OOC: Precisely why I think this "padded room" sketch is for show. It's part of the diabolic master/slave exercises. *hides*]

[OOC: Well, if anyone wants to use it for that... Except after hours, when it's all mine, of course. Oh Dru... *wanders off to find her*

[ooc: Am online, but not for more than an hour or so. For whatever that's worth.]

[ooc: No problem. Can always wait until Thursday actually gets to where you are. It's a good day so far, I recommend getting up for it.]

[ooc: have any wisdom from the future to share? ;)

Also, want me to include Kawalsky on the filter for the notes?]

[OOC: Yes, thank you.

Your fortune for today is: friends will call with unexpected personal news. You may find yourself distracted from important tasks by comparatively trivial matters. *look at thesis* *looks at calendar* *looks at thesis* *goes back to fandomhigh*]

[ooc: What? No lottery numbers?

*goes to add Kawalsky to the filter*]

Kawalsky knocked on the door to the office. "Professor? Sorry I didn't reply sooner."

"That's fine, Major K!. You have other responsibilities. Take a seat, I only want ten minutes or so of your time." Tara crosses over to take a seat on one of the comfortable chairs herself.

Charlie sat down and shifted for a bit until he was comfortable. "No problem. I don't have anywhere to be.. I don't think."

"First off, your TA duties. You're expected to attend both classes, if possible - although I will understand if something comes up occasionally. Your function is to engage with the other students, to help them explore their thinking, much as you did on Friday. You're my carrot - I need you to be gentle, helpful and friendly. Angelus is my stick no, not in *that* way. His job is to provoke the students, to push them places they might not want to go.

Which brings me to your other responsibility: the construction happening back there," she waves to what looks like the door to a supply closet, "is to create a Emo Time Out Room. Anyone who gets upset or overwhelmed by class discussion is allowed to go there to cry, take a moment of silence, or punch the walls. I may not always be able to leave the class at these moments. If you see anyone head over there, please go to talk with them, and let me know if I'm needed."

Angelus knocked on the door. "Hey, teach. Got that list you asked for (http://www.livejournal.com/users/notsouledyet/16253.html)."

Tara smiles at Angelus. "Perfect timing, we were just talking about you." She takes the list, casting a quick eye over it as she purses her lips.

"No wonder my ears were burning," Angelus said as he took a seat.

[ooc: pairing specific discussion on your list so as not to give it away?]
