Classics 201, 1st class

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream stands before the class, his head held high, dressed in his formal robes. He speaks in a clear, strong voice.

"Hello, and welcome to your first class of the semester. I hope it will be enjoyable for all of you.

Start by reviewing the classroom rules. I would like each of you to sign them at the bottom and turn them in to me. This will serve as our contract for the semester.

Most of you studied with me last term; welcome back. The new student, John Connor, is to be my assistant. Treat him with the respect this role deserves.

Our lecture today will be an overview to refresh your minds about ancient Greek, which was the last tongue we studied last semester. We will spend the rest of the month working on Greek translations and readings.

As always, I will be in my office after class. Creature languages immediately follows this class, but I will be there for the rest of the day."

The administrative business taken care of, Dream delivers his lecture.

"Hey, Professor Dream." Janet takes a drink of her coffee as she grabs a copy of the rules and then signs in. She reads the rules with a bemused look--she takes these as a given anyway--signs the sheet, and turns it in. Then she listens to the lecture. Most of it sounds familiar; last semester wasn't all that long ago, after all.

Dream nods and smiles slightly in Janet's direction. "It is good to see you again, Miss Frasier. Is there anything in particular you'd like us to vcover this term?"

"Should be fun this semester." Janet thinks a minute about the question. "Verbs," she says. Who doesn't need more work on irregular verbs? "Possibly some more practice speaking the languages. That's an enjoyable part of class."

Dream nods in agreement with Janet. "I hope to do that. It's the best way to get a sense of the languages as living things."
