"Yes, I'm fine Morgan. Thank you for asking," she says as pleasantly as possible. It was hard for anyone to grow on Meteniera, but this eccentric teacher seemed to be. Maybe she'd actually have a friend, besides Prof. Fortina, of course. "Did any of you have to fill out what might as well be a textbook of paperwork when you applied? Look at this!" she says in exasperation.  

[cocosam]

[[Um, guys our avatars are gone..from the posts I mean...]]
Morgan smiled. "It was quite smaller when I applied, but those were simpler days." Morgan laughed. "I've been teaching longer then You-Know-Who was evil!"  

[Summer_Breeze1507]

A tickle indeed... *she thought*

Well then Morgan, your attire is perfect!

*Turns to Scarborough, against her better judgement.*

Mhm. I finished it just this morning. It took me ages! Honestly, do they have to ask stupid questions like "When you laugh do you frighten children?" or "Are you impersonating a teacher with Polyjuice Potion?"...I know it's happened in the past, but if anyone was doing so, they wouldn't tell the truth!

[[they aren't gone for me...]]  

[cocosam]

[[Hm. There showing now...]]
"Do you laugh when you frighten children? If you answered that question yes, then your a lousy teacher. Thank you Selena."  

[Est_monte_de_Dieu]

Meteniera looks down at the floor at Morgan's comment. She had answered yes to that one. "One would think that they could invent better questions, but I guess not."

Hmm... you didn't put anything for number 7. Why's that, Professor Trusdale?  

[luvzdeidara]

I hadn't thought of anything yet. I was going to go back and add it once I had an idea. I'm sorry if I had caused any trouble.

7. What will class be like under your instruction? Can you give an example of what one of your lessons will look like? And perhaps how you think you will set up the class? (You can just give a brief description if you'd like)

Example lesson:
Origin and uses of Arithmancy
Derived from two Greek words – arithmos (meaning number) and manteia (meaning divination). Arithmancy is thus the study of divination through numbers.
Arithmancy is the ancient art of divination practiced by Chaldeans and Greeks. It is the process of telling the future by analyzing names and their numerical equivalents. Its dates back to over two thousand years. Its usage is primarily to evaluate one’s strengths and weaknesses and secondly to divine future occurrences.


Class setup:

Entering the class from the back one can see the professor facing the chalk board writing a brief description of Arithmancy. Her desk is covered in papers presumably class lessons and a large book with numbers and letters on it. The room is well lit and bright with several large circular tables of various color each with a matching feather quill holder with spare ink. Instantly the student could be assured that they would be writing a lot.  

[Junimaia]

No trouble. Go ahead and make your class. Best be quick about it since term's already started.

Hi,I'm a house elf and I'm just gonna be cleaning the window with water and newspaper so don't bother me.Just trying to complete my homework, just trying! teehee! 3nodding  

[Summer_Breeze1507]

*Selena exhaled. No snarky remarks, maybe today she could keep her cool and act as a respectful teacher.*

What about question number 147- Would you ever eat a student's homework and then make them re-do it?

Or 154- When is it appropriate for you to take a nap during class?

*She shook her head and laughed to herself.*  

[Est_monte_de_Dieu]

"Yes. Most of them are preposterous. I answered, "When the students aren't looking" to question 154," Meteniera says. She tries to behave today. Only a few more minutes........  

[Summer_Breeze1507]

*Selena smiled for a half-second. Maybe more like a quarter of a second....but she smiled all the same...*

I put "when they have a quiz or test to take and an hour long to do it."  

[Est_monte_de_Dieu]

Prof. Scarborough looks at her watch. "Well, I have a meeting to be off to. Good day." Prof. Scarborough leaves.
