VISA2252 Art, Alchemy and Shamanism

This is an elective for history next year.
Hells yes.

Well probably.

Which reminds me - I'm fairly sure anyone can take our history units, and by "anyone" I mean "anyone in ALVA and probably in Arts", so. There's this awesome lecturer, Charlie Mann, who knows a whoooole lot about Ancient Egypt. He said he would do a unit in 3rd year about Ancient Egypt if I presented to him a petition of at least 25 names saying that they would enrol in the unit.

If you need anything else to convince you aside from the fact that it's going to be about Ancient Egypt, here are some more facts:

- Charlie is a lost rolling stone. He is totally awesome. For those of you who know her, think of Phillipa Maddern but with an English accent, a slightly more-different (hehe) sense of humour, and a dash of Rolling stone. Also a different gender.

- Charlie despises exams and does everything he can to remove them from his units, completely, or in part. In his history unit last year, we had "pub quizzes" instead. Unfortunately they didn't take place in the Tav, but that was the easiest 20% I ever got.

Cons: He's kind of terrifying if he's angry. But that doesn't happen unless you're being a dick. It hasn't happened to me.

Oh!
Prz vote for names fo' me laptop:

- Strider *

Stars next to the ones I like most.

~ squiggles indicate ones that I like less than asterisked ones, but more than unmarked ones. :P Generally they just have too many syllables or aren't well enough known (even in the "in crowd")

Thanks to voyaging_moon and caketime who have already voted for Gilthoniel and Strider respectively.

No comment on what you should go with, but I don't think Shadowfax is a good name for a green laptop :-)

Yeah, I know... but in my defence I was going to go with white before I changed my mind :P

And I just think it has a nice ring to it. I might name it after a different Meera. That's why Nahar is there. For speed and mobility! :D

Oh, and the inside of the laptop is silvery white...?

I loved having him as a lecturer he's so awesome!

I KNOW
he's fantastic

The architect guy I'm going to (squee) work for said "oh that guy's still around. Does he still look like a Rolling Stone?" when I mentioned him, hehe :D

Ever since 2006, 'ghan. :P

I was sick of that journal.

O_o
somehow I'm always surprised by my lack of observative powers.
If observative even is a word. I could have said "powers of observation" but you know, I didn't... It's done now.

Charlie works hard for his students.. and he puts on a great show..def going to do that unit i can foresee A..B .. C.... then make death trap network , justify your brutal methods.
i wonder if he will accept Tomb raider map files ...large triangular 2 legged spike traps.

Charlie man is the reason i don't vote in the ALVA teaching turns ... i just assume he wins.

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

All of those points are so true - especially the last one.
He totally should.
