Physics 101

[Jason_Nuvares]

Looking around the room he noted the reactions and made plans in his head to check out some of them, espessially that melissa girl she seemed quite scared of something. He'd check out the other later, Michael looked like a slacker and Raph was quite the comedian. hitting the red button he grabbed the ball as it dropped.

"Ok then Class is dismissed, read the first chapter on review and i'll see you all next day." so what if they'd only been there for 15 minutes, it was the first day not the day before the midterm. "Melissa would you mind staying behind i'd like to talk to you about a few things." he waited for the rest of the students to disperse. wondering how mcuh they'd like the short class.

Raphaelo was eager to be out of that classroom, but he paused a moment to look at Melissa. He debated momentarily whether he should say something to her. However, the professor called on her to stay behind, and he didn't plan on waiting around that long. Shrugging, he headed out of the room, telling himself that he'd better get to work on that reading if he was going to finish it by next class.

[color=purple]Melissa dashed one hand under her down turned face to make sure that no tears had escaped her. Sure that there were no tears present she sat back up, her eye and face turned to her desk, hands folded neatly in her lap. She sat statue still as the others left the classroom. She didn’t even dare a look at Raphealo as he stood nearby. Her eyes darted up to the professor, what did he want her to stay back for? Probably to chide her for being disruptive or something. Melissa sighed, may as well get the yelling started.. well that is if he was going to yell at her.

“Yes Professor Nuvares?â€

hunter streached lightly as the class got out and wquickly picked up his things and began to head out. the class had kept his attention... slightly and at times suprised him though he wasnt that impressed. what had impressed him howeverwas the teacher asking melissia to stay after. he shrugged it off for now and quickly exited the class room and headed down the hallway wondering what his next class would be.

[Jason_Nuvares]

Once everyone was out of the room Jason Leaned up against his desk so that he was facing Melissa his arms crossed loosely as he relaxed a bit. "Ok Melissa, first off, to continue being conscious you have to breathe. Secondly I'm not mad at you I just wanted to talk. Thirdly, tell me the truth, does this lab smock make me look fat?" Comedy usually helped the shy ones get used to people and he hoped that it worked this time. He also hoped that she would take his advise and relax, it looked like she was about to faint from holding her position too long.

Reaching over he pulled a manila folder out of a small stack of them on his desk, opening it and flipping through a few pages. "I'm going to be frank here, your younger than most student's at Drenfield, have you completed High School?" he was direct but in a soft way so as it didn't seem like he was drilling her.

[Lynn]

[color=purple] For a moment Melissa just blinked.. She sat perfectly still and blinked at his joke. Did he actually expect her to answer that? She'd better answer him on it.. no need to make him angry by ignoring a question.

"Um.. No?..." In answer to his question about his smock then she heard his other question. Her face turned toward the desk again as she sat there. "No.. I didn'tâ€

[Jason_Nuvares]

"Thanks," he winked at her about the fat comment before returning to the folder. "I suspected as much, the reason I ask is that this is a college level Physics course and even some that have a good high school physics background can find it challenging. I'm just wondering if I should look into tutoring or extracurricular assignments designed to help you accelerate and possibly alleviate the extra pressure that could come from problems that are tougher than would be expected." he paused as he took a sip of water from a glass he had on the table. "As a teacher I've been reading up on the students taking my class and while I worry about some of them and their choice to be here, you seem like a very bright young woman and I'd hate to see you struggle or falter in this course." he walked over with the folder and sat in a desk beside her.

"My personal suggestion would be the tutoring as the one-on-one style teaching has been proven more effective then a self learning basis I also have here that you’re already providing service as a tutor for Mr. Volpemano in math class. So I'm sure that your time is at a lesser amount then normal because of this." He closed the folder and set it on the desk he was sitting in.

[Lynn]

[color=purple]Melissa nodded, listening to what he had to say with as little eye contact as possible. She knew if she looked at his eyes too much she would cry. She certainly didn’t want to start balling in the middle of a classroom with only her and the teacher. She still had Art class to go to and she wanted to be happy for that.

“ I don’t want to bother anyone…â€

[Jason_Nuvares]

"Hey cheer up, I'm sure you'll do just fine once you've caught up. and there is no way I will believe that its your fault for not finishing high school." he smirked in hsi own little way getting up and gathering his things. "you just don't seem the type. dismissed." he finished and dissappeared from sight moving to his office and lettign the girl collect her thoughts and leave.

((BLARG SHORT POST ))

Melissa blinked at the empty space that should have been the professor. She sat there for a moment, stunned. Where had he gone to? Oh well he had dismissed her so she should leave. She began picking up her things, putting them back in her bag, shrunk. She touched the rose and smiled at it, why was it that roses were so beautiful. Maybe that boy would want his rose back, she should hold onto it and give it bake if he wanted it.

Melissa talked herself into keeping the rose and shrunk it with her other possessions into her bag, putting it in one of the protective, cotton ball filled boxes that she kept in her bag. With that she left the classroom for art, happy that she was done with that scary, boy filled class.

Jason was in the physics lab preparing for his next class "Physics for The Next Generation" was plastered on the board in a strange font waiting for the students to arrive, the class would start in an hour. The professor himself wasnt' in his usual lab smock but instead wearing a Star trek uniform from the next generation show in engineering gold and wearing the Geordi La Forge visor over his eyes.

"Hmmm, The Nature of Matter; Wave Particle Duality; The Fundamentals of Matter; Models of the Atom; Fusion and Fission of Atoms; The Universe from the Nuclear to the Galactic; Measurements of Matter; Space; Time. Should take us a few weeks to get through this." He looked at the handouts he had prepared, he'd hand them out at the end of class to bolster any notes taken.

Appearing at the door he opened it for any student's waiting to enter reappearing at his desk with a dagwood sandwich and glass of milk.

Half of an hour prior to the class starting, Michael entered the classroom, supplies in hand. Among these were his sketch book so he could doodle when the curriculum becomes too boring. It's not that he didn't like physics, it was more the fact he got bored too easily and enjoyed constantly having someting to do besides listening. He was an excellent multitasker and hoped that the professor wouldn't mind too much.
He found a seat he enjoyed in the middle of the class to the side. He enjoyed that place; it made him feel close enough to the teacher but still distant enough to avoid the 'front of the class'-phobia most students possessed. After he had organized his desk and readied his reading material for the half hour wait, he greeted the teacher. "Good morning, sir."

[Jason_Nuvares]

Lifting the visor so he could see clearly he watched Michael. "Morning Mr. Motoa, Ready for another of my Amazing Physics classes? followed by four plus hours of homework?" the last part was mumbled barely loud enough to register as speech. he continued to fiddle with the miniature Enterprise D on the desk as well as gingerly tinkering with the Romulan War Bird on the other side of the desk; toys or as he liked to call them the-overly-hyphenated-student-attention-grabbing-surprise-extravaganza. "Now since your here I'll have you fill this out early and get it over with." Walking to the desk he placed a sheet of paper with 5 questions on it.

1) Atoms are made of:
a ) Protons, Neutrons, Electrodes
b ) Electrons, Neutrinos, Protons

[trickydevl666]

"As ready as I can be at this point of time." he replied. His ears failed to pick up the mumble. "And how 'bout yourself? Ready to teach another one of your Amazing Physics classes?" He thanked Jason as he placed the test on his desk. He glanced at the paper and as he skimmed over the questions he grinned. He loved how the questions slowly grew less and less serious. He quickly circled his answers. D...B...D...D...A... He set his pencil down and went back to his book.

[Heolect]

The door slowly opened, and the slight Asian boy shuffled through quietly, somewhat mouse-like in fashion. He glanced around nervously, before likewise shuffling up to the Visored professor. To a casual observer, it was almost like he was trying to avoid someone.

"Uh...excuse me, is this...uh...physics? I'm sure I've gotten...well...a little lost perhaps..." He said, quietly. He gave the visor and costume a curious look as he did so. "Uh, is this drama? Or something?"

[Jason_Nuvares]

Looking down upon the new student he turned aside and waved his hand towards the 'Physics for the Next Generation' bold heading on the board.

"You're in the right place, though class doesn't start for a bit. have a seat." walking to his lab table he took a sheet of paper and placed it on his desk.
"Just a quick test, since your here you can do it early and we'll have more time for class." The paper had 5 questions on it similar to the other one.

Michael reached into his bag and grabbed out his empty water bottle. He wrapped his hand around it and it started gradually filling up with water. He blew over the top, and ice formed inside the bottle. As he started taking a swig of his drink, the Asian boy walked in. He really must have been new to the campus. Michael wondered what got the boy all jittery. He shrugged it off, everyone had their reasons. A lot of students were more scared of themselves than they were of anything else. Maybe this was one of those things.
He set down his book and concentrated on his bottle. The water started rising out of the bottle, like a snake out of its basket to the tune of the charmer. He let it branch out like a tree, then tried to create very small leaves. It was a focus exercise of his. He blew on his tree, freezing it. Shortly after, he melted it back into its container, followed by another swig.

[Jason_Nuvares]

Jason watched this happen before slapping Michael's desk with a meter-stick.

"Hey, Another display like that and you've got detention." with that he pointed to the sign above the white board that stated 'In this classroom we follow the Law's of Thermodynamics'

[trickydevl666]

Michael nearly choked. He hadn't expected the loud noise. He finished his gulp and looked at the teacher. He then sighed, "Fine..." He took another drink. His face fell into a slight sulk. It's not like I was breaking the rules... Just bending them to my will... Pfft... Whatevs...

[Jason_Nuvares]

"That's Better," turning around Jason strolled back to his desk absentmindedly looking up at the sign that now read 'The Cake is a Lie!' as he sat down and proceeded to eat the plate of cake now on his desk.
