Paleontology, Jan 9th (7th period)
Tommy looks around as the students begin to file in to the classroom, and puts his smart doctor glasses back on as he stands up from his desk.
"Can everyone sign in to the attendance sheet there?" he asks. "Good." He smiles at them. "Now, to start things off... I'm Dr. Oliver. And I suppose you can call me Dr. O if you'd rather do that," he smiles.
"As far as class expectations go? At the beginning of my first teaching job, I was told to make my students as miserable as possible, and that if anyone was smiling, I wasn't doing my job properly. I'll be doing the complete opposite of that here. I want you guys to have fun with this class.
The first half of the semester will be mostly lectures- don't start groaning, guys, it won't be that bad- and then the second half, we'll be getting more hands-on, delving in to some fieldwork. On that note, there will be a field trip later this semester at a date to be determined, that I expect everyone to come on. It'll be fun, I promise.
Getting down to business, now... I'd like you all to introduce yourselves. Give me your name, describe yourself in one sentence, and then tell us why you've signed up for thiss class! You start," he says, pointing to someone in the class randomly.

"I'm Rory Gilmore. I'm ambitious and willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish my goals - except drink decaf. And I figured I ought to take a science course, and I took Geology last semester, so this seemed logical."

"Uh, this guy Jake, he says he knows you?, told me that you are the TA for a professor named Tick who is a superhero of some sort. Is that true?" She looked at Rory hopefully.

"Anyway, that's not important right now." She waved away her disappointment and looked eagerly back at Rory. "Do you think you could, you know, introduce me to him? I'd really like to meet him."

"The lobby? Okay. Thanks Rory." Molly smiled again.
