Speech Comm

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Welcome back to school, gang. For those who don't know me, I am CJ Cregg. Before I came here, I was the Press Secretary for the White House...and if you aren't from here and you want to know what that is, come to my office tomorrow.

Ok, next. I got in a car wreck before Christmas. If I don't know you and I should, remind me. If I don't know you and you think you'd be better off if you stayed forgotten and got a chance at a fresh start, by all means...go for it.

On my desk here...this is Fred and Ginger. Under no circumstances will anyone break the bowl and try to stab me this term. Enough on that.

Ok, first day, lets play get to know the corps/ Stand up, introduce yourself. Tell me something interesting about you and why in the world you signed up for me.

Ok, gang. Go.

Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period
Humanities room #1
She sit's patiently at her desk, waiting for the first person to grill.


Speech 401--Advanced Communication 5th period
Humanities Room #2
Gang, this is Advanced...that means buckle up and hold on tight. This will probably be the only easy day in this class. Didn't you get enough of me last term? Why'd you sign up, and what do you want to learn?

All right, gang. That's a full lid. I'll see you at the next go 'round.

Maia stood up, gave C.J. a nervous smile and then started to talk.

"Hi I'm Maia Rutledge. I'm from Seattle, Washington and I took this class because, well C.J.-Pro. Cregg is the teacher and I heard it was a good class." Maia's face blushed a little at slipping up calling C.J. c.j. instead of Prof. Cregg.

"CJ's fine, Maia. Welcome to class."

Maia smiled happily and sat back down.

Togusa waited for the girl to sit down, then stood, clearing his throat a little.

"My name is Togusa, and I come from Japan. I'm taking this class because I wanted to learn to express myself in a better way." He shuffled his feet a little, looked at the other students and sat down again.

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

"Thank you, Togusa. I hope you enjoy what I have planned for you."

Jack stood up.

"Name's Jack O'Neill and I took this class because I took 201 last term and got an A. I don't think that's ever happened before, had to take my chances one mroe time."

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Jack. Welcome back...you, you I remember." She smiles at him, entirely unreassuring.

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Aw crap.

"That's probably not a good thing, is it?"

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Now Jack...pussycat, remember? Or was that the other Jack?" She shrugs, clearly not caring. "Anyhow, what fun would I have if you weren't here?"

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

"The kind that doesn't result in my pain?"

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"When did I ever cause you pain? You need to lighten up, Jack. In fact...since you know me from before, I'm thinking I need a new TA for this class. You game?"

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

"TA?" Jack thought about it for a moment. "Ah what the hell, sure. I'm game."

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Smiling almost maliciously, she writes his name down. "Marvelous. Welcome to the team, O'Neill."

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

At CJ's smile jack second-guesses himself and wonders what it was exactly he just signed up for.

Boone stood up, looking slightly nervous. "Uh, hi. I'm Boone Carlyle. I'm from California," he paused for a second, before going on, "And I'm taking this class because, omg, CJ! to try to improve my speaking skills."

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Where in California, Boone? Bay area? Because if not...I have nothing to say to you." she says dryly.

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[cerulean--eyes.livejournal.com]

"Close enough to the bay area," he replies. "Uh, well, on the peninsula, at least. I'm from Palo Alto. In Santa Clara."

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"I can live with that. Santa Clara's a nice community. So, you want to improve your speaking skills...you're going to learn so much more than that, and you'll love it. Swear."

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[cerulean--eyes.livejournal.com]

"It's nice enough."

At the part about loving the class, he offered her a smile, "I believe you."

"Uh, Professor Cregg? Can I sit down? Or is there something else?"

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Nothing else, kid. Sit down." She winks at him and moves on.

"Hi, I'm John Sheppard, everyone calls me 'Shep' because there's a preponderance of Johns around here and it cuts down on the confusion." It occurs to him that he should have recorded that for replay at each class. "And I'm here because you told me to be and because you forgave me for the bear last term."

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Blinking at him several times, she has an overwhelming urge to call him 'baby' for no clear reason.

"Bear?"

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

"Yes Darlin' Ms. Cregg, we had a little issue with my computer, an animated bear and me yelling "WhatthefuckGrizzlyBear?" in the middle of class. But you forgave me for it. Didn't even give me detention." It was very important that she remembered that she forgave him for it.

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Ugh. No Ms. No Ma'am. Just CJ, Shepbaby. I do remember that. are we going to have that little problem again?"

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Shep raises an eyebrow. That was new. Last term, all darling kidding aside, she'd been Professor Cregg the whole term. Hm... maybe that accident loosened her up a little. "No problem, darlin' Ms... uh... CJ." I felt a little odd to be calling a teacher by her first name. But if that was the oddest thing he had to deal with today he'd be ahead in the game.

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Well, good then. Ok, first things first. Why Shep and not...Johnny, or Jack, or one of the other normal variants of John?"

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

"Well off the top of my head I can give you at least three good reasons: Harkness, O'Neill, Crichton and Connor. Wait... that may be four reasons. Anyway, this cuts the confusion, considering some of them and I orbit in the same circles."

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Fair enough. Shep it is." She smiles at him, and goes to make a note on her tablet.

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Feeling cheeky (and figuring C.J. needed to be reminded what she'd done to herself by inviting Shep into her class again) Shep added, "It makes for more efficient communication."

Re: Speech 301--Interpersonal Communication 3rd period

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"That it does, Shepbaby. It always helps to know for certain who you're talking to."
