Language classes, Monday

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Good morning.

There seems to be some questions regarding the in-class presentations. I expect every student to do one. It should be between three and five minutes long, regarding some aspect of history or culture of any of the languages you are studying. For the first presentation you may do it in English or your native tongue. Visuals are encouraged: let me know if you will need a VCR or projector. If you need ideas, see me during office hours or lab.

I will have a sign-up sheet and more instructions at my office.

And, yarr.

"I've been...okay. Things are weird here. Anything exciting going on with you? I hear you're involved with Homecoming," Rory says with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm in charge of music. Mama would have a heart attack if she ever found out, I'm sure. And Band Class seems awesome - we'll be divided into groups this week, and then I'll finally be in a band. How awesome is that?! I can't wait. How's the yearbook coming?"

"That's great! Yearbook's okay - we have a meeting at Luke's tonight. You should come if you can make it - there are some people I'd like you to meet." Rory remembers something, and drops her voice. "Oh...and Jess is here."

"JESS?!" Lane practically shouts, then gets quiet again as some other students look at her. "Jess? I can't believe that - ruining Stars Hollow wasn't enough, he had to follow you here too? What a jerk. Yeah - I'll see if I can make it to the yearbook meeting. I've been pretty busy working at the diner, though."

"Eh," Rory shrugs, "We haven't really run into each other. And when we have...it's been odd. We don't fight. I think he might still...y'know, have feelings for me." Rory doesn't voice her opinion that it might be at least a little mutual.

She clears her throat. "Well, the meeting's actually at the diner, so...you'll probably be there whether you want to be or not."

"Why wouldn't he - you are awesome, after all. And you have great taste in friends, if I say so myself. That's okay - you deserve better, and he has to know that."

"Yearbook at the diner - great - I love it when my the first impression I give to new people is me wearing a greasy apron and shouting at the cooking staff."

"Yeah," Rory agrees, grinning. "But don't worry about meeting people - you can always duck in the back if you don't feel up to it. Besides, everyone yells at the staff at Luke's. It's what makes it so...Luke's-y."

She fiddles with her pencil, and then asks, "So, Homecoming music girl, are you going to go to the dance itself?"

"I don't know - it's still kinda lame to go without a date, right?"

Lane tries not to blush, and chooses her words very carefully.

"And I don't have... prospects at the moment... not really, anyway. What about you? Planning to borrow some of fabulous vintage 80's clothes from your mom?"

"I don't know if I'm going yet," Rory says, blushing a bright pink.

"And what do you mean you don't have any prospects? The guys here are gorgeous, and you're fabulous. I know like four guys who would adore you and who are really cute! And also, not gay - which is important to note in this school."

"Well, there's this one guy, in music class... but it's not like he would ever even notice me anyway. And if you know other guys who are just waiting for someone to adore, you need to spill."

"And of course you're going - oh my gosh - look at you! Who is he? Tell me all about him. I have to know!"

"Well...his name's Logan - not that Huntzberger kid who knows my grandparents, but the other one who goes here. He's on yearbook with me. We...well, we kind of hooked up at a party our frist weekend here, and we've been dating since then. It's going pretty well," Rory finishes with a grin.

"Tell me about the music guy! I bet he's noticed you. Why wouldn't he?"

Re: 2:30 - 4:00 MWF Languages of Asia

[lane-drums.livejournal.com]

"Logan? I haven't met either of them, but this one must be great to sweep you off your feet like that.

"Hmm, music guy - his name is Charlie [], and we sort of hit it off (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/98420.html?thread=3297908#t3297908) in my Comparative Religions (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/98420.html#comments) class on Friday. He's an awesome musician, and he's got the best accent. I could just listen to him talk for days. I haven't seen him around since, though..."

"Aww! You should go find him! Figure out where he's living! Send him flowers - apparently it's not exclusive for guys to send them to us around here," Rory says wisely. "I bet he likes you. And besides - he has an accent!"

"Yeah, maybe I'll call him later... just to listen to his voicemail message, if nothing else! Well, hey - I have to duck out a few minutes early to get to work, so I'll see you around, okay?"
