fandomhigh | Sociology 310 and 500 Class Meeting

Welcome to the first class meetings for Sociology 310 and Sociology 500. If you have signed up for either class, please consult the roster to confirm your enrollment.

Sociology 310: Special Topics - Death and Dying

Please sign in below in the appropriate space. The syllabus for this course has been posted.

This class period will serve as an introductionary exercise. Please state your name to the class, and share why you are interested in the course material. The subject matter is difficult, and it is important to be respectful of the viewpoints of others.

In class we will read Walt Whitman's poem To One Shortly to Die. Please feel free to share your thoughts in regards to this poem. Although not a written assignment, your participation will be noted.

Sociology 500 - Sociology of Deviance

Please sign in below in the appropriate space. Copies of the syllabus for this class can be located on my office door.

Please introduce yourself to the class and the professor. Your assignment for next class is to write a short essay that defines deviance. There is no wrong answer, this is merely to understand the different perspectives of all students in this seminar.

[OOC: Sorry for the delay, and lumping these together. I was slammed by RL unexpectedly. Grissom will be around to speak to students if they have questions this afternoon, however, all classes will be slow-played now and in the future for everyone. Play as much as you can regarding assignments, comment at least that you attended. Classes will be stored in my memories so you can catch up. Next week classes will run on a normal schedule and happen separately, and "coursework" will be laid out for the semester in part. Thank you.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

"Is there a gift that you would recommend, Dr. Grissom?" Angelus asked, his hands still folded primly in front of him. "I would so hate for there to be any chance of being misinterpreted."

Don't get ahead of yourself, work on that letter first. Nice stationary, good penmanship, express your apologies and explain the...uhh... dagger. Then we can talk potential gifts, okay? One thing at a time.

Grissom rubs his beard in an effort to keep from laughing, but he is also confused. What other gifts are there to buy for women besides plants? He may need a consult.

"Penmenship counts?" Angelus gave a geniune smile. "That's great. I just so happen to have excellent penmenship. Thanks, Dr. Grissom. Hey, you've been so nice and fatherly to me, is there anything I can get you as a gift? Especially seeing as how now I've got this begonia going to waste?"

Grissom almost chokes. Fatherly? Jesus Christ.

No thank you, Angelus, although that is a very nice offer. I am afraid my bugs would destroy your begonia. Why don't you take care of it for a while, and then perhaps later you could give it as a gift to someone. It is the thought that counts, or so I am told.

"If you say so," Angelus gave Grissom a winsome smile. "Thanks, Doc."

Grissom gives Angelus a crooked, befuddled smile.

You're welcome.

He thinks, 'I am so going to live to regret this.'

Next time you plan on wooing a girl, if you think your methods might not be received well, why don't you run it by me first? I always stay a little bit after class to answer students' questions, and I have office hours as well.

'Definitely not one of your brighter moves, but maybe this will keep him out of Sara's hair. Remember - you owe her, Gil. Keep repeating that.'

Angelus's face lit up. "Thanks, Doc. I will. I truly appreciate that."

[ooc: Hee!]

((OOC:this is awesome *smiles* are you enjoying the thread and its many spawns??))

((OOC: I so am. How often do you get to say that because of his crimes, Angelus was given detention and sent to the principal's office? Too funny!]]
