Comparative Religions

[marieann-d.livejournal.com]

Rogue stands in the front of the classroom looking exceedingly nervous. "Professor Gandalf is not here, er, today, so I'm leading the discussion." She coughs. "Um, we will be discussing Hinduism during this class. Um, there will be more complete notes online after class. Also, we'll be discussing it again next class, so you can ask Gandalf any questions.

"Hinduism is practiced by, um, a very large percentage of the world's population. So, it is worth being studied. While it is techincally a polytheistic religion, it is also considered by some to be monotheistic." Everyone looks bored, she thinks.

She turns around and looks through Gandalf's desk. She finds a recording of Hindu chants and plays it. "Everyone, please tell the class your thoughts on this recording."

[[OOC: I'm going to be taking off, like now. Play it all out wonderfully, like I know you will.]]

Umm, it sounds old and, like, it comes from a long, deep tradition. Very soothing - almost heartbreaking, in a way.

You're better at this than I am.

Can I ditto this and retreat my former statement?

[lane-drums.livejournal.com]

*blushes*

Oh well, thanks. Your statement was good too, though.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

*laughs* No, it was completely lame. I wish we'd had a translation.

*laughs at his laugh*

Well, at least you didn't make such a lame comment in front of the actual professor. Ooh! A translation would be nice - you should ask for one next class. That might even get you some bonus class participation points.

No, but I'm sure he'll hear about it somehow. This have a way of getting out around here.

*chuckles* Think it might save my ass?

[lane-drums.livejournal.com]

It definitely couldn't hurt!

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

No, I suppose it couldn't have been much worse.

*considers* Maybe you need to be in a certain state of mind to get it.

[lane-drums.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

If that state of mind is "brain-fried on a Friday afternoon," you may be on to something there.

It was a busy night yesterday.

I think I'm going to try listening to it again when I'm on my own.
