Classics/Foreign Lit, 4/18, Period 2

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream nods in greeting to the students as they file in. An array of fresh fruit -- including plums, kumquats and starfruit as well as apples and bananas -- is offered in baskets at the front of the classroom.

Foreign Lit: Dream lectures on African literature for precisely half of the class.

Classics: Dream lectures on Roman mythology for the other half of the class.

At the end, Dream addresses all students as a group. "This is the final unit of new material for all of you. Next week, you will begin work on your end-of-term projects, which will be due on May 3. Each of you will be expected to handwave write a paper on one of the topics we have discussed in class; classics students may write in Latin, Greek or English, though you will be expected to refer to relevant texts in the original tongues if you write in English. I will expect proposals from each of you a week from today, on April 25."

"As long as you don't try and blame me," said Janet, rolling her eyes. "Yes, getting to class on time is good, especially as we were told about our final projects today."

"I wouldn't dream of blaming you for it," Elizabeth said wide-eyed. "Well, I like being on time just in general. I hate being late. Absolutely hate it."

Janet rolled her eyes again. "Uh-huh," she said. "You do remember who you're talking to, right? Being on time is imperative."

"Being early is better. My students soon learnt that." Elizabeth's grin was only slightly evil.

"Being early is being on time," said Janet. "Hadn't you noticed that by now?"

"Possibly. Ask me when I've had more coffee. I'm lacking this morning."

Janet offered Liz her travel mug of coffee. "I've still got about half of my second cup left, if you want some."

Elizabeth looked as though she might kiss Janet right then and there. "I love you," she said, taking the proferred mug gratefully.

Janet giggled. "Okay," she said. "That's good to know."

Elizabeth took a mouthful of coffee and sighed. "Not just because of the coffee," she added, glancing across at Janet.

"I know that too," said Janet, smiling.

"Oh good," Elizabeth grinned, taking another mouthful of coffee.
