Office Hour

She's going over the preliminary draft so she can submit the paperwork to the office regarding the creation of a Peace Club. It's likely no one's worldview will disturb her zen today.

"Not too much to chat. Come on in!"

Pushing the papers away, she leans back in her chair.

"Something I can do for you? I haven't given too much thought to the Sex since you said you'd come up with something for me to do."

He can't resist.

"You've had no thoughts about sex whatsoever?"

Utterly obliious because, hello...it's Gil, she shakes her head.

"Really no. I don't know what you've been covering or where you're going with your unit. I need some kind of direction before I can come up with something to show you."

His expression is nothing but full-fledged dorky little boy, so CJ's reaction is what he's expecting.

"What I'm thinking, if you're still interested, is a unit after midterms and Spring Break. My students are going to be working on a project in pairs starting next week, studying various groups that are built on and originate from sex directly. What would be helpful, I think, is a presentation or activity for them of some sort, to open their eyes to the aspects of communication in their studies. Verbal or non-verbal.

For example, if one group was assigned to prostitutes, I want them to consider how prostitutes speak to each other, to clients, etc."

"Speech communities? Pffft...so easy. I can bang that out in a minute. Give me a list of the different groups and I can give a general oveview of what a speech community is, um, register, intimacy, conversational implicature...stuff like that. Sound ok?"

"I'll e-mail the list to you, once I get the groups solidified. I want to consult with my TA first, to make sure they're... appropriate. Some of my students are a little sensitive," he shrugs.

"But thank you CJ, that sounds wonderful. Perfect."

"Sensitive? Time to get over that. The world isn't a nice place...but I'll be sensitive. I've yet to get in trouble for my lessons. We'll have some fun, Gil. Sex is natural, knowing how to talk about it without stammering is good."

and she totally doesn't think of Anya and last quarter...

"I'm sure we will," he says with a smirk, looking at his watch. And I do not have a random stammering problem! Oh wait... yes I do.

"I have to run. I'll see you later."
