Office Hours - Tuesday 8.11

Charlie's office door is open.

Charlie himself is busy throwning crumbled up pieces of paper into a waste paper basket by the door. He's waiting for the Independent study group, Angelus, Broots or someone else.

"Well, I'm no longer dragging a blanket around like an overgrown toddler, so yes." Charlie grinned. "Thanks for asking."

"I'm glad," she said, a bit confused by the blanket remark but she decided not to ask, taking a seat to wait for Janet and John.

John arrives a few moments later, slipping in beside Sam.

"Hey. Your habit of being early makes me look bad," John laughs.

"Twenty years in the military doesn't go away overnight." "Sorry," Sam answered, smiling. "I came right from the Doctor's office hours, so it was on my way."

Janet walked in, having finally managed to escape from the library, and sat down with a sigh of relief. "Finally. No more book cataloguing."

Charlie beamed at the three of them. "So! What have you done so far?"

Sam glanced quickly at Janet, then John. This wasn't going to be pretty. I'm sorry, we haven't done anything didn't tend to go over well.

"To be honest sir, we've only really talked about the subject. Schedules have been a bit wild."

Charlie stopped beaming and frowned instead. "You do understand that you're going to have to do more work, not less being an independent study group, right?"

Re: Independent Study Group

John nods. "Yes, sir. And I think the three of us have been thinking about the subject and maybe even making notes but we've yet to meet and really start brainstorming. I promise that will change."

Re: Independent Study Group

Sam nodded emphatically. "Yes, sir. I've been working on equations in my spare time, but I'm not sure if I'm heading in the right direction."

She reached down and pulled out a battered notebook. The first ten pages were full of equations.

Janet looked over at Sam, relieved.

'I'm sorry, I'm far, far behind my genius best friend in physics and I've been trying desperately to catch up in my spare time' didn't cut it as an excuse either.

"We need to set up a regular time to meet," said Janet.

Charlie snatched the notebook, smile spreading on his face as he read through it. "This is good," he nodded. "You might want to have a look at deBenedictis and Das (http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0009072) work on the topic as well." He handed the notebook back, and regarded them thoughtfully. "Do you think you could manage to write weekly progress reports?"

Re: Independent Study Group

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam took her notebook and made notes in the margins to check into the theories of deBenedictis and Das before the next time they met.

Oy. Paperwork. "I'm sure we could do that. Is there a format you'd prefer?"

Charlie shook his head. "Not as long as it's clear that you've been working, when and what you've been working on." He frowned. "I think the same report can be given to the Doctor, but I haven't checked with him on that."
