World History in a Nutshell

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

The classroom is dimly lit and there's a projecter set up to a laptop.

"Good morning," says Daniel, beaming all around. "Today, we're going to be touching on Ancient Egypt. There's packets on your desks with information about mummies and health and --" His face clouded and he frowned slightly. "gods. You can look at all that in your leisure, but first, I'm going to talk to you a bit about my dig in Egypt this summer."

Daniel has a power point presentation and everything which would have been done had the mun not fallen asleep yesterday. It's mostly pictures of sand. And more sand. And yes, you guessed it, sand. Daniel's highly enthusiastic about it, however, as he babbles on quite happily for half the lecture.

"Okay, for the second half, I apologize to those of you who aren't used to computers and also to those who took Egyptian archaeology last year, as you'll have already played a couple of these games. There's a choice of three to play, so have fun and talk to me if you have any questions or need a hand."


Build a pyramid

Make a Mummy

Death in Sakkara


[[ooc: Huge apologies for this being so late up; work and calling schools got in the way this morning and I wasn't at all functional last night to get it up then like I was planning]]

"Well, I think it's wonderful, but, it is my area," Evie said diplomatically, in a low voice. "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Actually, he hadn't. He wasn't about to tell Evie that, though. Or the reason why. He shook his head. "No. I just . . ." He waved at hand at Daniel. "History class is so not my thing."

"Well, if you want copies of my notes, perhaps that would help?" Evie said hopefully. "I do have them highlighted, and I try to make the interesting and all connected, like a story."

Score!

"That would be great," Jim said gratefully. "Really, really amazing."

Evie beamed back at him, glad to be able to help him and be a friend, even if he *was* dating Lana now. "I could drop them off later this evening?"

"Sure," Jim grinned. "Thanks. And if I'm not there," Which might be the case, depending on a certain brunette. "You can leave them with Chad." He gestured towards the giant sitting nearby. "My roommate."

Evie turned, then smiled even more brightly. "Oh, but we've met! That will be no problem at all. He's very nice." She gave him a sympathetic look. "I do hope you're not getting sick again, Jim. You need to get some rest."

Jim rubbed the back of his neck. "Thanks, Evie. I'll try to do that, then."
