Egyptian Archaeology

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel's still looking pretty happy, but still moving gingerly at the front of the classroom.

"Morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. I'll have the homework on my desk, please, at the end of the lesson.  Now, instead of my scheduled lecture, we're going to have a question and answer discussion. We're going to talk about what you want to talk about. That okay with you? Or should I continue talking about Sais?"

He grins.

"Someone will ask a question, and we'll see if anyone else knows the answer. If not, then I'll do my best to answer it.

Now? Any questions?"

At the end of the lesson, he smiles.

"Pick one of the subjects we talked about, and I want a hundred words on it for Wednesday. Thank you everyone. Have a good couple of days."

Kawalsky signed in. He almost couldn't believe it when Daniel asked for questions. He certainly hadn't dictated that they had to be related to Egyptian Archaeology, or any archaeology really. He raised his hand and, when called upon, asked, "If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?"

Some days it was just too easy to be a smart ass.

Daniel blinked. "I wasn't aware Peter Piper lived in Ancient Egypt."

"You didn't say the questions had to be about Egypt or archaeology," Kawalsky said.

Daniel blinked, frozen. "I didn't?"

"You said we were gonna talk about what we wanted and then asked for someone to ask questions and other people to answer them, and if they can't, you'll try. No Egypt or archaeology, and I'm genuinely interested in Peter Piper's peck of pickled peppers and where he put them." Perhaps it was just that he was on a roll for getting people to want to kick his ass. Yes, that must have been it.

Daniel just pulled off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "Okay. Does anyone know about Peter Piper's peck of pickled peppers for Mr Kawalsky?" he asked, addressing the class.

"Why pyramids and not... spheres?"

Re: Sign in and questions and discusson

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"Because Goa'uld motherships need pyramids to land on. Anyone got any ideas about this?"

Re: Sign in and questions and discusson

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Pyramids are easier. It's like making them with Lego blocks.. it's way easier to build a pyramid than a sphere."

Re: Sign in and questions and discusson

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but spheres are fun."

Re: Sign in and questions and discusson

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"Would you like to try and build a large sphere out of sandstone bricks, including hollow chambers for burials?" Daniel asked. "I understand there's a room in the school where we could try it if you do..."

Re: Sign in and questions and discusson

"Uh, no sir. But then, I wouldn't want to build a pyramid either."

"And they make cooler Borg ships. I agree. But since they didn't have cranes or anything, and they had to make them out of big limestone rocks, so it would've been hard to move unless they had alien technology."

Kawalsky tossed a note to Connor.

Heard your mom isn't Principal anymore. Are you going too?

John reads it, and writes back.

I have no clue. Haven't heard from her since Thanskgiving where we had dinner that we totally didn't rp and there's no answer.

Re: Sign in and questions and discusson

Kawalsky nodded and wrote back.

Hope you stay, but let me know if you are going. Want to stay in contact.

Re: Sign in and questions and discusson

I'm not planning on leaving. Shit, I still have to figure out my Secret Santa gift.

She's left before, but not without telling me why. I'm worried.

Re: Sign in and questions and discusson

Kawalsky frowned.

We could try to track her down?
