Act two of the original three is done. It is about 100 pages and 23k words. I'll be merging the first two acts into one and the book will end up being about twice as long as originally projected.

Act 1 of 3 is done. It’s about 100 pages and 23k words and has a prelude, 8 chapters, and an interlude. I’m looking at 100k words as an approximate goal.

Bio

Thrawn: "I have read about the nightswan. Have you?"

Nightswan: "You refer to the fact that it sings only as night is falling?"

Thrawn: "Yes. You do not expect your stand to succeed, do you?"

Nightswan: "I know that it won't succeed."

Thrawn: "That does not necessarily mean the end. I can give orders for you to be taken unharmed."

Nightswan: "They will be ignored. Half the troops here are Batonn Defense and Restos is determined to get rid of me."

Thrawn: "Then come with me now!"

Nightswan: "A man must do what he must, Admiral Thrawn. Even if his stand is against the fall of eternal night."

Good morning fellow nerds.
If I might offer an opinion, physics would be quite an important subject for super-beings, as they often encounter situations a lot more extreme than the everyday. A practical knowledge of physics would be very helpful to anyone dealing with very large forces/objects, so this subject would be taught in first year at HA, and then built on in the second. It would have much more priority than, say, english or history, by nature of its utility.

And another: Geoffrey has excellent taste in literature. Keep up the good work.


That's what I was thinking,. It was also the reason that I have him teach Physics over other subjects. I'm having him read things that I read, I'll extend the complement. Thank you.

Which means the first years should have an intro class some time with you, too~ xP

annnyways, I'm off for the night. See ya all tomorrow~


Yeah. Goodnight!
<Snipped quote by Melkor>

Well, you're the teacher...its whatever you want it to be/think is appropriate?

I think a little bit of both, might be good? I dunno, I've never had a physics class before...xD
Bio/Chem was my thing.


Okay, It'll be an into level with a few more advanced concepts involved.
Geoffrey Burr - Physics Professor

7:20 am


The hallways had many students moving about their mornings. There were a few teachers among the crowd. If anyone decided to look up, they’d notice a lanky man wearing jeans and a long coat, with two, two by fours, six wine glasses and some paperwork suspended in air, drifting in the direction of one of the classrooms. Burr found his classroom drifted in and deposited the wood, glass and paper on the desk. He then drifted back out, into the growing crowd, and found himself in the cafeteria a few minutes later.

The lines were long, but Burr didn’t have much of an issue waiting. He had been hovering about five feet above the heads of those on the ground, but he lowered himself into one of the lines, his feet still not touching the ground, he floated about six inches from it. The Silmarillion was hovering in front of his face, his hands in his pockets and the pages turning themselves.

After a few minutes he collected his french toast, scrambled eggs and his one biscuit and made his way to his classroom. He was, once again, hovering above the crowd, the food drifting in front of him.

7:40 am


Burr's classroom was bigger than he'd like it to be, but he managed. It had a window showing the artifcial sky and landscape, which Burr disliked also. Whoever created that... never took physics... they may not know what it is... or they're just more ignorant than I thought. I'll have to talk to someone about it... it is a real issue. Do they not know that the wind is suppose to be blowing the other way? He let out a sigh and drifted to the large smartboard, which was connected to the computer in his class. He turned it on and one of the smart-markers lifted itself and began writing in large letters - "Geoffrey Burr" then down a few lines, "Physics, the study of the world around you". Another book emerged from his coat, this one entitled, "Mocking Jay", and opened itself. Burr began reading... "Ah the first person perspective... it has been awhile." He said in his whispery voice. He waited for his students to begin showing up to class.
Also, @Melkor Second years will be going to your characters class first :D


Cool. Quick question: Is the second year physics an introductory course? Or is it like physics 2 or something?
Now I want the school to have a giraffe.
Sure. If that's the case, I'll wait for them to post themselves entering the lab.
<Snipped quote by Melkor>

No.

Well, I mean, you could if you wanted too.

I just didn't get around to it because I am lazy and didn't want to figure out all the other possible classes Its good enough for the moment. We're probably not going to be going through every single class every day, because then it'd just take forever. We may to a quick little run through since its the first day, or not. Haven't really decided yet.


Can Burr pop into the biology class and sit in the back then? Or should I post a class with no players in it?
~Current Class Schedule~

Biology - Meredith hillard 1st class. 8AM - 8:50AM
Magic Arts and the Basic Occult - Nina Smith 2nd Class 8:55am - 9:45am
Physics - Geoffry - ??
unconventional Magics - Jaques ??


So, here we go! A basic class schedule. Obviously, there are more classes then this, but these are the current teachers we have. We probably won't be RPing out all the classes and such, so do keep that in mind!

But for now, this is just a basic guide. Nothing too exact, as we can see we don't really even have the proper times for the last two classes, since they are later in the day. But yes, Biology with Meredith first, and the Nina.

That is the first years schedule! Still working on the second years. Will probably be Physics or Unconventional Magics, or some other class.

...I...Well...I...

I don't even know how to respond to this except...

Now I want to see this~ xD

EDIT:
Also, oooh, yay, Meredith's first victim student has arrived! :D


Are we, the teachers, meant to give the time for our classes?
