Geology

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

Today in Geology, we will be going over the syllabus and tentative course schedule. We will also be looking at the first chapter in the book Physical Geology: Exploring the Earth. Also, you will need to partner up with a classmate for lab for the remainder of the semester.

The first lab will be next Monday, and details are listed in the handout I am passing around now. Sign the roll sheet before you leave.

Just to clarify, this class will be about Earth geology, correct? I studied the Caprican mountains at my old school and so I know a little about plate tectonics and the like, but I'm certain that everything is different here on the lost 13th colony, zomg!! on Earth.

Yes, Lee, this is Earth geology. *a slight smile* I don't consider myself qualified to attempt to present another world's geology.

Thank you, ma'am. Just wanted to be sure. *looks through syllabus and pages through text books carefully*

*signs roll sheet*

rory_gilmore, how about being my lab partner?

*looks suave*

*finds a seat towards the back and yawns*

*scratches back of head and glances around* Mmrg. Who needs a partner?

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

Each student requires a partner, Edward. *calm smile* Look around and choose someone.

Good morning, Draco. *scribbles some notes*

[alchemic-bean.livejournal.com]

Eh? *blinks, is completely not awake* I thought I was asking if anyone needed one...? Needs...coffee...badly...

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

I see. *digs in her desk and tosses him a powerbar* Eat that. And for future reference, the cafeteria provides coffee and other caffeinated drinks.

[alchemic-bean.livejournal.com]

The coffee in the cafeteria tastes like shit caffeinated sludge. I think it moved on its own the one time I tried it.

Mmm, food. *chows down, talks with mouth full* Fanks.

*looks around*

Anyone interested in being my partner for class?

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Um...sure. You're Draco, right? Or do you prefer to be called something else?

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

*signs roll sheet and tentatively takes a seat next to pure_blooddraco*

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm Draco Malfoy. Draco is fine, I know, it's a bit of an unusual name. It's a family name.

[chasingangela]

I could do it. I mean, if you want.

Ms. Sidle? I'm here.

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

You are very pretty for a muggle--um, non-witch.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can definitely relate to unusual family names. *rolls eyes and makes note*

Um, my name's Rory - actually, it's Lorelai, also a family name, but everyone always calls me Rory. It's just easier, I suppose, since my mother is also named Lorelai, and she teaches here, y'know...

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Um, thanks. Did you think that all non-magic people were unattractive? Beauty and ugliness are universal.

[sensethevisions]

I'd like that.

I'm Phoebe

[chasingangela]

I'm Angela.

Have you, um, studied geology before, or anything? Because I haven't.

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm really not familar with non-magic people. To tell you the truth this is the first time I've actually been around muggles. The ones I've known before were uh, less than satisfactory. *eyes hermione* But you seem very nice and my roomate is interesting to say the least. Very theatrical, he is.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Oh...I see. Well, to be honest, this is the first time I've been in a setting like this myself. I've never met a magical person before, though I've read about them in literature and stuff. But I'm sure it's totally different than what we're told as children.

[tru-relivesdays.livejournal.com]

So I guess I'm gonna need a lab partner.

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

And I haven't found one yet. Might we suit?

*Thomasina's smiling, but she's been feeling a little unsure of herself, as there are so many new and different things she's had to become accustomed to, already. However, she's never been one to be backward or shy, so she is resolved to put her best foot forward and push ahead.*

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

Well, we're like most groups of people. You've got the normal stuff; school, families, quidditch. There's war and rivalries. Dark Lords trying to kill off everyone existence, that type of thing. You just have to make sure you are on the right side of that equation or you end up six feet under.
This school has got a lot of different types. I've seen people from outer space, aliens and some big blue furry guy who said he was a mutant. And I thought being a wizard would set me apart from the rest.
