Dream is polite but a little distant -- perhaps lost in thought -- as he sstands behind his desk to greet students today.

Classics: "We are continuing our work in the Greek textbook with a discussion of prepositions. The first thing the student will notice is that some of the prepositions have different meanings when they occur with a particular case. These distincitions must be learned.Prepositions are words that help nouns, verbs and adjectives express themselves clearly. Prepositions do not change in form, as do nouns, verbs and adjectives. The forms above are the forms that will always occur, with one small exception. Prepositions ending with a vowel (except pro and peri) drop that vowel when the next word in the sentence begins with a vowel.

Understanding prepositions is key to understanding written Greek."

Languages of Asia: "We are going to continue our work in Japanese by learning Japanese animal names. As an in-class assignment, please name your favorite animal in Japanese after you have memorized the vocabulary."

Dream knows this is a boring lecture. He doesn't care. You still need to sign in.

Evelyn doesn't appear to look bored at all. She signs in and then opens her textbook.

Sam signed in and began working on her prepositions. She made careful notes on the reading.

Janet ~~is back from Vegas, darn it all~~ seems to have recovered from her cold and is mostly alert today. This lecture should take care of that, though. She signs in and tries not to yawn.

Draco signs in and begins to take notes from his textbook.

Thomasina signs her name to the class roster, takes her usual seat and occasionally writes something in her exercise book whilst listening to the lecture.

Looking a little bit sleepy but perfectly cheerful otherwise, Anders signs in and gets to work. He's making sure to pay extra attention to that one grammatical error he's been making all along.

Sonia signs in, then pulls out her textbook and begins to take notes, not looking disinterested in the least ~~because the player is a language nerd~~.

Rory signs in, and listens raptly for the first few minutes, at least.

Anders tosses a couple of gumballs into Rory's lap and waves at her.

Rory smiles at the gumballs, and waves back, popping one into her mouth.

Which Murphy does before taking his seat.

He doesn't think the class is boring, just too early in the day.

Logan signs in and appears to be listening.

Animal words yay!

Michael signs in and memorizes his vocabulary.

"Ookami - wolf."

Rory signs in, and carefully works on her vocabulary.

"Risu - squirrel."

Lane studies briefly before saying, "kaba - hippopotamus."

Work in the lab or talk to Dream here.

Evelyn comes in to work on her Languages of Europe IS.

Janet signs in for her Indo-European independent study and starts taking notes.

"Hello, Professor. Here are yesterday's assignments. THanks for being understanding about my absence."
