Office hours/Archaeology

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel had stuck a note on the classroom door directing any archaeology students who turned up to find him in his office if they needed him.

Having sent his letter of acceptance off yesterday afternoon, he was now listing what needed to be done before he went.

He also had Expedia open on his computer.

Comments

Sam knocked on the door, carrying a bag of freshly roasted whole coffee beans and an extremely large cup of coffee. She was also wearing her sunglasses, indoors.

Daniel looked up and smiled at her. "Sam! What a nice surprise." He paused. "Um, you do realize you're wearing your sunglasses still?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Yep." Sam winced. Daniel was disturbing the drummers in her head, even speaking at his normal pitch.

"I brought you coffee," she set it quietly on his desk, "as a thank you for dealing with wee tiny me over the weekend. And I'm so sorry for waking you at the crack of dawn. And, er, fingerpainting your apartment. And handwavily taking your toaster apart."

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel looked at her. "Are you hungover?"

He smiled. "Thank you. It's not necessary, but thank you. There was no permanent damage, and walls can be repainted and toasters repaired. Or bought."

"Oh, yes. Very much yes." She plunked herself into a chair and hung her head into her hands. "And I forgot about my ACJ final, so I have no idea what I wrote."

"Me, Janet, and Liz hopped up on coffee and sugar? You're lucky the apartment is still standing." She chuckled, then winced again. "Also? I think the fingerpaint is water washable."

Daniel reached over the desk and patted her gently on the shoulder. "I'm sure it was fine," he said reassuringly. "You're worst is a hell of a lot better than many people's best."

He nodded, with feeling. "I know," he said. "Where did you disappear to that afternoon?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Thanks. Here's hoping Professor Tick thought so." She looked up and smiled at him. "I helped Anakin Skywalker build a podracer out of a golf cart and some random parts we found in the junkyard. Then he, Peter Parker, Rory Gilmore, and I took turns flying it. It was amazing," she chuckled, "but god, was I filthy afterwards."

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel laughed. "You were pretty filthy when you left, " he pointed off. "I'm kinda glad I didn't see you later."

"Add engine grease and half the dust in Fandom and you'll have a pretty accurate picture," she grinned, "So, what are you up to? Finals, grading, all that stuff?"

During regular class time

Molly read the note on the classroom door and went to talk to Dr. Jackson in his office.

She knocked on the door. "Dr. Jackson?"

Daniel smiled at her. "Good afternoon, Molly. How are you?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly grinned back at him. "I'm good, Dr. Jackson. I was just wondering if our excavation report from the field trip is due today. I'm not quite done with mine so I was hoping that I could have until tomorrow to finish it."

"That's not a problem," Daniel said. "As long as I have it by the end of the semester on Friday, it's in on time.

"I understand you had a busy weekend?"

Re: During regular class time

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly grinned wider. "Yeah, my weekend was a little busier than expected. I survived though. Just not a lot of time to study."

Re: During regular class time

Daniel laughed. "I can certainly undestand why, and for that alone I'd certainly be willing to give you an extension anyway!"

Re: During regular class time

Molly smiled. "Thank you, Dr. Jackson." She started to turn back to the door, but quickly turned back. "Oh, are we going to have a written final on Thursday or is the excavation report our final test too?"

Re: During regular class time

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel shook his head. "No written final," he said. "I think that it's not about how much you can remember in an hour's test, but how much you understand and the research."

Blair bounced up and knocked on the door.

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Blair," Daniel smiled at him.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Hey, man." Blair bounced in and grinned. "I don't need any help or anything, I just thought I'd stop by and say hello!"

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel grinned. "That's good to hear. Hello. How was your weekend?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"It was...weird, but good." Blair took a seat. "I was like 4 or something. Didn't get a lot of school work done, but I explored a lot."

"So are you staying this summer?"

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"I got invaded by three six year olds on Sunday," Daniel nodded, wincing slightly at the memory.

He shook his head. "I'm going to be going spending time in Egypt, on an excavation," he said. "How about you? Are you staying?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair looked sadly at Dr. Jackson before smiling. "That sounds really cool, man! Is it just for the summer?"

"Yeah, I'm staying. It should be pretty cool."

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel nodded, and grinned. "Yes. Don't worry, I'll be back next semester although I'm not sure what I'll be teaching."

"I'm sure you'll have plenty of fun!"
