World History in a Nutshell

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

Daniel's lecture

[the_ascended]

It's long, it's boring. Take the time to nap or pass notes; he won't notice.

Or you could listen and take notes and even ask questions on any material you like and watch me bluff it omg!

Molly took a few notes, but she was more often just doodling in her notebook. It looked like she was taking notes though. If you didn't look at her notebook, that is.

Chad scribbled down the notes that seemed important:

Sand.

Sand.

Hey. More Sand.

Sand that is slightly more yellow.

Sand that is slightly more brown.

There is a snake in that sand.

Pyramid? Nope. More sand.

But he's footnoted the important notes with things that resemble other notes that might actually have some significance.

Jim's own notes may have indicated that he has had it with these [expletive deleted] snakes in this [expletive deleted] sand.

With a sideways glance toward Jim's notes, Chad was glad to see that someone else was recording this imperitive information with as much dedication and attention as he was.

Lyra happened to glance over at Chad's notes and was grateful for the acting ability that let her turn a guffaw of laughter in to a not very convincing coughing fit.

Evie is trying to write down everything new at once, because she didn't know all those things about the Incas, although the mummification process is old hat, and it's all so interesting, and finally she has to ask, "Dr. Jackson? Do you think it's possible that, maybe, there could be an archaeological site on Fandom Island? Perhaps? Only I heard there used to be pirates here...."

Jim was trying to figure out who to copy notes off of, his roommate or Evie. He waffled for a while before scootching slightly closer to Evie and trying to stay awake in class.

Re: Daniel's lecture

Evie looked up and saw Jim, then hesitantly smiled at him. "It's really not that bad, is it?" she whispered.

Re: Daniel's lecture

[sensitivejim]

Jim smiled back, shaking his head. "No, not really. I guess." His tone was very grudging. At best.

Re: Daniel's lecture

[bookyeve]

"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?"

Re: Daniel's lecture

[sensitivejim]

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."

Re: Daniel's lecture

[bookyeve]

"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."

Re: Daniel's lecture

[sensitivejim]

Score!

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

Re: Daniel's lecture

[bookyeve]

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?"

Re: Daniel's lecture

[sensitivejim]

"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."
