Hello Kyroh!

Yes Maggie had noticed the finger wiggling and had sent a grin Kyroh's way. Hello, hi yes hi. There were a few familiar faces now. Only a few she appreciated, though. Like, for instance, she'd caught sight of Brooklyn but hadn't bothered to greet her. Same went for her other dorm mate, Hady. Though the latter had received a nod in acknowledgement.

But the lesson was starting now.

...

NASA? SERIOUSLY? WAS THIS A JOKE? Maggie stared at the professor with wide eyes. Was this about her? What was he...what....she was tempted to get up and leave. But then again that would be quite embarrassing too. Seeing as she'd probably have to explain herself and she didn't really have something she wanted to SHARE with the class. So instead she just turned the name tag over in her hands a couple of times. No, everything was fine.

Eventually - waaaaaay later than the rest of the class - Maggie finally tapped her wand against the name tag and whispered, "Magdalena Natalie Traulton." There. It had worked. Though it looked a bit crowded now. Oh well. Whatever.

Text Cut: Aireeeehhhh

"Your textbook defines astronomy as the branch of science which deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole...but as you have heard from your classmates, astronomy is much more than this series of brief words," he said as he began the brief lecture portion of the discussion. "Astronomy is more of an umbrella term wherein there are various subfields of study, and while many may consider it to be more of a modern science...has in fact been around since the dawn of humankind. We all are descended from astronomers and we all have within us, sometimes hidden quite deep, the innate curiosity to look up to the sky and wonder why."

He trailed off at the end for a moment to gaze longingly out the window at the clear blue sky above the grounds. How could anyone NOT want to study that breathtaking sky and what lay beyond it was...baffling to him. Simply baffling.

"But when we study astronomy, we are not only learning about the universe, or universes, we exist in...but we are learning about ourselves as well and seeing how the very atoms that make up our bodies are a part of the grand design that is the universe. Astronomy connects us all."

Alright..that had become a bit more cheesy than he had intended. What was the point of all this? Oh, yes. There was the thought.

"Now, because universe is ever expanding and many reverse outer space with awe, there is much overlap with the scientific community and pop culture - namely with science fiction." He paused for a moment and gave the blackboard a firm tap to make a series of photographs appear with numbers below them. He PROMISES that there is a reason behind this slight apparently Muggle Studies inspired detour. There was always a method to his madness.

"Can anyone identify any of these characters or the film or muggle telebox series they come from? Please just one per person." If not they were more than welcome to venture a guess or observation about what sort of character they could be.

OOC: I am SO sorry for the delay guys, but you all gave me so much to respond to so it took more time than I had anticipated! But I wouldn't have it any other way <3 so thank you for your patience.

Class will resume...hopefully in less than 24 hours from the time of this post (more like 19? No promises though!)

Wow.

Maggie had stopped paying attention after 'your textbook defines'. Instead she'd started drawing stars on her parchment, using the pink glitter ink. Stars though. That was something Astronomy-y, no? Not that she particularly cared. What was UP with these name tags???? She glanced down at hers again. Bleh. Could she throw it out after class? Hopefully.

There was a new question but Maggie just stared at the pictures blankely. The first one looked somewhat familiar. As for the rest she didn't know. She wasn't exactly into science-fiction. OBVIOUSLY.
