Introduction to Archaeology, 5th Period

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel's attention is focused on his laptop as he waits for his students.

"Okay, hopefully you're all set to present today," he said. "And after that, I hope you've all remembered the gifts Pippi so thoughtfully gave you last lesson, because I get to be the adult supervision."

Daniel's pleased with this. Normally he's the one who has to be supervised.

Journal presentations

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

What was it about, and why did you like it, and stuff like that...

Re: Journal presentations

Blair bounced up and held out an article. "I read "The Bamboo Stick Calendar of the Muong People in Vietnam" from the Archaeoastronomy Journal. It was pretty interesting. It was about the way the Muong people measure and tell the passage of time and mark events in their history. I really thought it would be cool if I could duplicate the calendar, but no matter how I rearranged my sticks, I still ended up having three Tuesdays in a week. But the article was still pretty cool."

Daniel smiled. "Thank you, Blair. I'd be interested to see your stick calendar, if you still have it. Even if it does have three Tuesdays!"

Re: Journal presentations

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair bounced. "I'll bring it in next week. Although it's less sticks and more coffee straws...but it's the same principle!"

Re: Journal presentations

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"Maybe sticks and not straws do make a difference?" Daniel suggested. Hey, he'd seen weirder stuff happen.

Pippi gives her presentation on Radio Carbon Dating. She goes off on a tangent a bit about how it has nothing to do with music or wacky morning crews. She talks a bit about how it would be useless to date something that had been brought forward in time by a time traveler. Other then that, she has a basic grasp of the concept.

Fun stuff

It doesn't say that you need a responsible adult, right?

Blair dug his rock and gem kit out of his bag and set it on his desk. Strapping on the safety glasses he grinned. "This is so cool!"

Re: Fun stuff

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel very much approved of Blair's enthusiasm.

He had his own pair of safety glasses with him. Just in case.

Re: Fun stuff

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair attacked his rocks cheerfully with the mallet and spewed little bits of rocks all over the place. Digging out something he held it up, "Dude! Fake Red Gem!"

Re: Fun stuff

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel grinned. "You do remember the lessons we had on excavating?" he asked. "And how it was a careful and delicate progress?"

Re: Fun stuff

Pippi opens up her box and sets up on her desk.

"I hope my velosorapter is still alivej"

Re: Fun stuff

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"Um? Alive?" Daniel asks cautiously. He didn't remember any discussions about live things in his classroom.

Re: Fun stuff

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, alive... You know, as in 'not dead'."

It should be noted that the picture on the box is of a very small and plastic looking dino skeleton.

Re: Fun stuff

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel moved across towards Pippi's desk to look at the box. He saw picture, and hesitated, not knowing if he should break the news to Pippi himself, or let her find out on her own.

After class

If you've made a mess, he'll be clearing it up. Woe.

OOC

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

As always, just in case.

Re: OOC

[janet_fraiser]

Nope. Janet didn't play Spin the Bottle and avidly watch the boykissing.

Or kiss Jack Harkness the next night.

Really.

She didn't.

Re: OOC

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

And Blair doesn't even know about the girlkissing.

*watches Daniel's head explode with interest*

*chalks up another death*

Re: OOC

[janet_fraiser]

Ah, yes, the girlkissing. Which Janet did *not* get to do any of in Spin the Bottle because I had to go to sleep before I had a turn. :) Oh, wait, you mean *that* girlkissing.

Heh.

*pats poor Daniel* Just don't descend naked into the classroom.

Re: OOC

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Hey, Liz didn't even manage to get there thanks to... was it jet lag that week? *g* And that was the specific girlkissing I was referencing ;)

Well, he was naked in the park last time...
