Shop Class #6

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Apparently one of the emitters is the problem as he has it disassembled and the parts are scattered across the desk.

Mac looks up from his work with a sad look on his face.

"I know all of you have probably heard about Kitty Pryde. I don't know how well you all knew her or not, but Dean Bristow has asked all the faculty members to devote some class time to talk about her death with everyone in an open format. I'll leave that up to you on how much you want to participate."

"First let me tell you all how much I enjoyed your essays on duct tape. I like them so much I'm assigning another essay while I fix this emitter. The topic today is Swiss Army Knives, and their wonder ability to do almost anything. That will be a in-class 100 word essay due before the end of the period."

((OOC: I will be AFK until late tonight. Please don't blow anything up while I'm gone. Otherwise detention will be involved. Or worse.))

...right?

*realizes that Professor Mac probably heard that, he sits down sheepishly.*

Mac barely looks up from the work he's doing on the emitter. "Sorry you feel that way Shep. If you want to do an alternative to the essay and fabricate an item of your choice by next Monday you can."

Mac then gives Shep a disappointed look. "Keep in mind that this is my classroom. If you have a problem with an assignment, you can talk to me or Sam about it and we can work something out. However another outburst like that and you'll be facing detention. Understand?"

Sorry sir. I'm just... having a bad day. And I was really looking forward to this class because it's not your typical do-the-research-write-the-paper class. Usually...

*realizes he's probably making things worse by trying to explain, Shep pulls out paper*
