Languages, 10/26

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

To his Classics students, Dream delivers a lecture on Koine Greek. After he is done, he puts forward a question for discussion: What were the benefits of Koine as an international language? Are international languages still valuable?

For his Languages of Asia students, he passes out calligraphy paper, pens, and a primer on Chinese writing. Work on understanding why Chinese is written as it is written, and on copying the characters showin in the handout. Next week, you will move into writing with understanding.

Again, there are no classes on Friday. I will see you all on Monday.

Anders has a definite need for coffee today, but he nods over at Sam anyway. "Hey, Carter."

Re: Classics, 10/26

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Anders. How're you?"

Re: Classics, 10/26

By way of an answer, he smiles sleepily and waves one of his cups of coffee at her. "Frakkin' exhausted, but good. You?"

Re: Classics, 10/26

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I'm good." She smiles. "Careful about all that coffee. People'll end up thinking you're Doctor Jackson."

"Oh, and congrats on the Pyramid thing. You must be really excited, huh?"

Janet grins at Sam. "How's it going?"

Re: Classics, 10/26

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Good, thanks." She smiles, then leans over to whisper, "I seem to have a date for Thursday."

Janet absolutely cannot resist the urge to hug Sam in the middle of class. "And?" she asks.

Re: Classics, 10/26

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam's a little surprised that Janet's hugged her in public, let alone in the middle of class, but whispers, "It's with Jack."

Anders signs in, a large three-shot red eye in each hand, and nods to Janet. "Hey."

Re: Classics, 10/26

[janet_fraiser]

Janet waves at Anders. "Hey."

"How goes it, Fraiser?" He reaches in his pocket and offers her a gumball.

Re: Classics, 10/26

[janet_fraiser]

"Very good so far," she says, taking the gumball and chewing on it. "You?"

Rogue signs in and follow suit, sinking deeply into her chair.

Re: Classics, 10/26

[janet_fraiser]

Janet waves and tries to suppress a snicker.

Jack smies at her and discreetly flips the bird. He can be heard muttering something like "Stupid pirate."

Re: Classics, 10/26

[janet_fraiser]

Janet's grin becomes positively smug before she begins to look like the picture of innocence.

Re: Classics, 10/26

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Jack writes something on a piece of paper, balls it up, and then throws it at her.

You did this, didn't you?

Murphy signs in before taking his seat.

He almost falls asleep a couple of times during the lecture, despite his best efforts (and the double strength coffee he'd brought in).

((Connnor's mun has a killer headache and is doing only the minimal today))

Connor follows his bother ito class and takes his seat, diligently sipping on his coffee, trying to make it last.

Thomasina signs her name to the roll and takes her seat. She does not have much to say today.
