What Muse Academy House Are You In?

For Musebloggers. If Mostly Harmless, hot pink bunnies, and pie wars mean nothing to you, this quiz probably isn’t for you.

What do you enjoy most?
A: Art and graphics
B: Music and cheese
C: Science and logic
D: Cute fuzzy animals and writing

Which description best fits your personality?
A: Geeky, but loveable. Shy, smart, curious (and questioning, maybe?).
B: Energetic (hyper?), talkative, enthusiastic
C: Nice, smart, creative, helpful
D: Wacky, zany, crazy, odd but hilarious sense of humour

You see something odd, that you’ve never seen before. What’s the first thing you think to do?
A: Teach it to play the hurdy-gurdy
B: Observe it, and possibly take it apart to see what it does and how it works
C: Write a detailed description of it, and have people read the description to see if they know what it is
D: Take a picture of it, and photoshop it being overrun by swarms of hot pink bunnies

Results

1. B, and soy/rice cheese, not dairy. And D, as well…
2. All of the above, depends on what mood I’m in.
3. A, only I’d teach it to play violin or lap dulcimer, or ask it if it played concertina. (If it did, would it teach me?)

Umm, so what does that make me? I think you could refine that a bit.

12-It’s not that detailed, it just gives a general idea. For one thing, the GAPAs do share a lot of interests and personality traits, and for another, if every single muser is going to fit into one of the four houses, it has to be a little vague.

And besides, we’re all musers here!

jeeshers, that hasn’t been said in forever…

in September 17th, 2007 @ 22:42

I got mentioned in the quiz! *happy dance of joy* Phase one of the evil plan is complete! Bwahaha… *whistles innocently*

1. equal tie between B and C- music x2, science, and logic
2. equal tie A and D. If I had to pick one, A of course.
3. B

It’s hard to tell, but I think I’m in Coontz House. But if Baker House has trombone quartets like the one the other day, I’m visiting often.

It’s 11:40. I should leave…or something… I’m tired, but this is the only free time I have all day.

It’s got two s’s sense

The MA would have to have good food. And pies for dessert, of course. Non-throwing ones. and choklit! And chicken and a good salad bar and PB&J and yummy things like that.

Also i think it should be 5th-12th grade, since there are a lot of middle school musers

I would probably be in Baker House, like I said, due to my obsession with historic music. But writing is included in that as well, and I would like that.

Would the people from one house get time with the other GAPAs too?

I suppose you might also choose according to criteria that would complement your existing strengths. For instance, you may be good at science and logic but would really like to explore music and cheese in more depth. Or someone wacky and zany might like to hang out with geeky, but lovable.

(18) Somehow I think MA’s structure would be more flexible than the norm. Also, writing and language generally are important to all of us. Kind of goes with the territory.

Hm, yeah, I guess so. Dumb of me to say something….
It would be a fun place to go, I wish it were real. *sigh* l would love it. I have a feeling that math would actually be explained, and thus easier. I hate math. Sorry, math lovers, I just can’t like it. *gnashes teeth*
Actually, I think everybody fits into the “wacky and zany” as well as the “geeky but lovable”. Maybe that’s just because of my multiple personalities, I don’t know.

(21) Not dumb at all. I’m just thinking out loud. And I think you’re right that many of those traits are shared on MuseBlog — probably multiple personalities as well.

*echoing sigh* I wish it were real, too. I’d probably sneak over to the math department and take some classes. Math didn’t make much sense to me in school, either, for much the same reason (even though mathematical talent runs in my family). Now I feel like I missed out and would love to know more.

I got CCC, so that would make me 1/3 COONTZ and 2/3 SPECTOR. Eek, I don’t think I’d like splinching.

Can we make more questions? I think that would help. I’ll write some when I get home from school – GAPAs, will you provide some more personality traits and quirks, which we may not know already?

27- LOL.
My calculator has a random number generater on it. Two random number generators, now I think about it. I ♥ my calculator. It was 150$, I’ve been wanting one for years, and then my Physics teacher was all “buy a good calculator for this class.” So I got my TI-84. Finally. [/randomness]
MA should require a nice calculator. And also a laptop of some sort. And classes should include: sciences, math, english, foreign languages, computer stuff (and not like what you get in most schools, about how to use Microsoft Word (which sucks, by the way), I mean cool stuff like html and programing and such), and pie throwing, and PE, if it’s included, should be an elective, not required. Oh, and there should also be a class in graphic design, too.

This is good so far! I like the idea that the GAPAs have the houses. I think the Muses should be the teachers!!! And Graduated MAers can teach, too, but only if they’ve attended MA.

GAPAs: these questions are so we can see which house has the best fencing team/cooking team, etc. Yes, some of them are extremely obvious, but oh well…

Which one of you is the best at (or would like your house to be the best at)…

–Fencing
–Pie-making
–Pie-throwing
–Visual Arts
–Literary Arts
–Theater
–Musical Theater
–Dance
–Instrumental Music

…I’ll list more later, and people are welcome to add on to the list.

House symbols, my ideas:

Spector – a rose (for Rosanne);
Coontz – hm, that’s tough. Perhaps a heron. I’m fond of herons.

Should the house symbols be live things? Like animals? Or is it okay that they’re just inanimate objects? Maybe Baker could be something playing bagpipes, and Spector could be something holding a rose, or something. Or does it not really matter?

I originally thought Ebeth’s quiz was too short to really sort houses well, but I think it works really well! Everyone seems to be going to the right place and such

…If you aren’t sorted into a house (one of each, or something), you can I guess just decide which one suits you the best, or someone can suggest a house, is that okay?

We need my current math teacher, who has ADHD. I’m actually learning math now, but I just had the strangest conversation with her about me smiling too much in class. I think it makes her nervous.
I got BCB~Baker\Spector\Coontz. Ithink I’d be Coontz, but I really love cheese. We need to offer every language spoken, and start kids on them in third grade, or whenever they arrive.

43- Not every language spoken, that’d be impossible, but most of them. And also Latin, which has virtually no use in the present-day world except annoying people. And they should be started early as possible.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to have, like, K-12+ in MA? That way we could keep the poor, innocent little kiddies from being brainwashed into believing that nerdiness=social inadequacy. *dreamy sigh* imagine being educated all your life surrounded by a bunch of Musers…

Raise your hand if you think you have an as-yet-undiagnosed (or if it is diagnosed) multiple personality disorder/ADHD/OCD/all of the above! *raises hand*
I swear I’ve got “all of the above” and, actually, so do all my friends, and my parents, and they’re not even s’posed to admit that they think I’ve got problems… Although the aforementioned “disorders” aren’t really problems in the traditional sense of the word… More like “unusual states of mind”. I think you probably would end up getting at least a mild case of ADHD just from reading Muse and MB-ing, since we’re all so… well, random.
The MA schedule should also, of course, include music and drama and other artsy stuff. Oh, and there should be a block schedule or something ‘cuz that’s soooo much easier that short classes. And there needs to be, like, a shop or something with back issues of Muse, all the way back to the first issue, for those poor souls who didn’t start getting them in 1997 or whenever it was first published.
MA’s a boarding school, right? I have trouble thinking of it as not being a boarding school.

How ’bout this as another placement method. An unidentified but suited for the job (be honest) GAPA/blogger takes it upon themselves to be the official sorter. Under anonymity, as stated before. I do not have the responsibility nor reliability to do sommat such as that.

Specter:Red(sign:rose?was that right?)

I think coontz should be green, for some reason. Mebbe robert reminds me of slytherin (jk :D). idk, it just seems like it would fit.

i think baker house should be blue, mostly because my quiz said i was in it, and it’s my fav color. i’m being brutally honest because it’s hard to be subtle when you haven’t slept. Also i really shouldn’t be procrastinating, but you can only make so many little dots on a graph before going completely wacko, especially when you’ve spent five hours swearing at computers, one banging your head on the desk and swearing because you’ve left your chem in your binder, which you never got back from your chem teacher, and walking down to celia’s to get a copy, and another hour punching in numbers and making little dots on a graph.

All in all, not the most exciting day. MA would have amazing computers (built by aeiou and chad, most likely) that would get a newspaper together in a couple hours and calculate things by scanning in the numbers and figuring them out for you. And MA would have bigger wraps. Penn station’s wraps have become teensy. I think it’s because they get ripped off on the lemonade…you get free refills, and people in south snipville will DEFINITELY take advantage of that. several times over. I drank half a medium (there are no smalls) just waiting for my food, and refilled it before i left because it was take-out and because i could. Anyway, i think they realized “holy cannoli, we’re making no money now” and decided to give us slightly less food and see if we’d notice.

well i should prolly get back to my little dots. dot…dot…dot…dot…dot…

If light is moving at the speed of light isn’t time frozen for it?
How does it change then?

Robert Coontz (Administrator)

in September 20th, 2007 @ 08:30

Light is indeed energy, in the form of electromagnetic waves.

Time isn’t distorted as far as the light beam is concerned. According to Einstein’s special theory of relativity (“special relativity” for short), things feel normal to anybody moving at a constant speed, however fast. It’s the rest of the world that looks distorted.

For example, when radioactive particles are moving at close to the speed of light, they seem to us to decay more slowly and last longer. To us, it looks as if their internal clocks have slowed down. From a particle’s point of view, however, its lifespan is unchanged, but it has to travel a shorter distance (because the rest of the world gets distorted as it rushes past in the opposite direction).

Charleston was also my parents’ first home as newlyweds. When they were expecting me, they told people they were going to name me Wesley Ashley Lasley (as in the Ashley River.) (They moved to Key West before I was born.)

I was joking, of course. “The March of the Uruk-Hai” is not the official house song and in no way reflects Coontzian values. Singing it loudly on inappropriate occasions, however, perfectly reflects the Coontz House value of making life interesting for ourselves and (especially) other people. So until an official house song comes along, you are heartily encouraged to belt it out whenever the spirit moves you

You lived in Charleston?! I don’t live in Charleston itself… my dad is the general manager of a seafood franchise in downtown, but I actually live in a smaller town [geographic detail snipped] It’s a nice place. I like it. Loads of my favorite places to eat and go to are really close by, and Main Street is absolutely gorgeous in the spring. But I’ve been to the Dock Street Theatre many times. I assume you’ve heard the legend about the lady on the balcony and the lightning? Scared the crap out of me when I went for the first time. Granted, I was in third grade…. terribly jumpy through the entire performance.

I suppose you’re proof that you can live in the South for a good portion of your life and still grow up to be a pretty flamablamabulous person. It’s been a lifelong struggle for me, and I’m only thirteen!

Well, on to business! I propose that Lasley House’s first production be Wicked. I’m thinking I’d like to be Madame Morrible, but we’ll have to let the audition process sort out parts.

We call it Exam Week, but, as you surmise, MuseWeek examinations are different from exams at other schools.

The MA library is large and unusual. The non-circulating reference section alone would give you a complete if unorthodox education if you spent enough time browsing there. The collection also contains several shelves (underwritten by an eccentric wealthy donor) of literary works from around the world translated into Esperanto.

One charming MA tradition is the campus cookoff. Every equinox and solstice during the school year, the staff turns over the kitchen to the students, and the four houses compete to prepare the tastiest meals. No prizes are involved, just pride. (Coontz House is noted for its chili.)

The house library has a few shelves of favorite books (or book series). Each new student recommends one for the library to acquire. So LOTR could be yours.
On the other hand, you could steal a set from Coontz house if you can get past the pair of unfriendly cats that pounce on non-house members who choose to enter.

Baker house has the most interesting common room. It has ancient instruments pinned up on the walls, and music is always playing, often live by the band. The common room is always warm in winter, and cool in summer. A Baker tradition is to completely redecorate the house twice a year, once halfway through spring and once halfway through fall, to make it winter/summer appropriate. The Lasleys look on our “designs” with dismay. All members of the house are entitled to free cheese, and encouraged to wear Elizabethian costume. We have a huge library, and a gigantic CD collection of Elizabethian music.

Our strengths are:
Music
Cheese making
Costume making
Jumping off Victorian piers and trying to fly

Sports that we are good at:
Painting: Roller-on-a-wall section
Pie throwing
Cheese rolling
Bog snorkelling
Conkers

Rebecca Lasley (Administrator)

In keeping with its guiding chaotic spirit, the shelves of the Lasley House library are stocked completely at random. Luckily, each book is guaranteed to be so flamablamablous that the reader will become completely engrossed in looking at whatever volume falls to hand and instantly forget whichever book was originally sought.

Of course, the odds of ever relocating that precise book at a later date are admittedly slim, since there is no cataloguing whatsoever.

Full disclosure on that last point: it’s not so much that there is no catalogue system. It’s more the case that numerous systems have been initiated then abandoned until all the various attempts have become hopelessly commingled.

House legend blames this state of affairs on Exam Week activities, specifically Unsorting Day, a tradition in which we gleefully pull all the books from the shelves in the hopes of arranging them at last in some orderly fashion.

This effort is likely doomed from the start, since each individual may shelve books according to his or her preferred organizational system, but that is not the only hitch in the proceedings.

Method further descends into madness as many of our number sneak off through the secret underground passageway to the Coontz House library while residents of that house are preoccupied with the LOTR marathon. Coontz House categorically denies this, citing the unlikelihood that Lasley House residents could ever stay focused long enough to persist in the extensive effort required for building a tunnel.

Still, they can’t help being puzzled that some Lasleyans catch Coontzian SF allusions and in jokes. Furthermore, neither Snopes.com nor MythBusters has ever been able to refute our claim in spite of repeated attempts.

(163) Gwendolyn, regarding colors, Jadestone’s enhancement of Giminator’s original suggestion sounds good, to wit:

“Paul’s is obviously light green, white, and green blue plaid; Rebecca’s is hot-pink with a gold swirl, Rosanne’s is red(/with a rose with a very dark green stem) and sort of satiny; Robert’s is deep purple with a bit of green/blue and thick like velvet.”

I’d say cloaks or robes would definitely be in order.

172 (Oxiln) – I was torn as well, but I’d say just do what the quiz tells you to do (I was 1/3 Coontz and 2/3 Spector). I’ve grown to like Spector house (who wouldn’t?), and the colors don’t really matter…obviously I prefer purple over red, but who says we can’t rebel and make color-switching badges? I’d say go with Spector

I think there should be a switch-houses day every month, where you can experience the other house, etc. Because that would be fun!

(172) I wouldn’t agonize over it. All the houses are fine places to be. Once you’re in Muse Academy, you really can’t go wrong.

Without in any way wanting to dampen school spirit, I can tell you that some people take their house affiliations much more seriously than others do — wear only the house colors even when out of uniform, take part in (or cheer at) every inter-house competition, hang out only with fellow house members, etc. Other students, however, have friends in most or all of the houses and spend their waking hours wherever they please. These “citizens of the school” are perfectly happy and include some of the most popular students at Muse Academy. House membership is part of their identity, of course, but they don’t let it limit them. We’re all Musers, you know.

It’s all a matter of personal preference. Some people are more strongly tribal than others are. It’s nice to belong to a group, but people are individuals, too — Musers perhaps more emphatically than most.

Coontz House definitely has the best-looking robes, though.

If students really are keeping “every type of animal” in the houses, however, we may have to discuss the matter at the next faculty meeting. We are, after all, running a school here, not Noah’s Ark. There is also the welfare of the animals to be considered. Not all creatures thrive in academic settings.

To all worthie members of Baker House, greetings.
Likewise, apologies. For I have this daie (and shal bee uppon the morrow) a-playing at Hardwick Hall up in Derby-shire; a verie fyne and galant House, the like of which is not to be sene anie where, not even in London. Wherefore, alas, mine appearance uppon this Thread must perforce bee short and tardie; yet welcome all who weare the badge of Baker.

138 – Cinnamon Moon, in recognition of thy consideration and faire Invention in furnyshing our greate House with such a decorous Aspect, and fyne Musick too, I name thee House Prefect. Wel done, childe.

Methinkes I must differ a lytle, alas, uppon the prospect of repaintyng twice in eache yeare. How, then, is a noble sufficiencye of goodly Dust to settle uppon oure shelves and the bookes that lie thereon? For anie booke taken from our Shelves must sende forth a grete Cloude when blowne. Tis onlie meet.

Liekwise, should we consider againe oure House Colours? Methinkes I favour Burgundie and Golde, in the richest cloth as may be had. For there is virtue in pretension, and it marryeth wel with the exceding grete quantitye of Panelling, which must every where be seene.

As to the style, something simple. For the gentlemen, doublet and hose, edged and embothered with the House badge in golde. For the ladies, a faire Gowne, with all necessarie acoutrements benethe (as a bodice, curtal, farthingale, &c.). And every one with fyne Hatts in whate’er style taketh oure fancye.

Nowe, to oure Badge. With Bagpipes ile happilye concur, so that they bee not Scottish. For some thing to plaie uppon them, my fancie strayeth somewhat towards a hedge-pig; the whyche woulde, methinkes, appeare verie fyne in golde.

As I took the quiz, it seemed as if I was in no house. I had a touch of Lasley, a touch of Coontz, and a touch of Spector. As I had met all three of them, I decided to go with my gut. Coontz was my role model, Spector did the stuff I always wanted to, but Lasley was undoubtedly the most similar to me. I don’t really know how I know that, but I am almost positive that I belong in Lasley House.

What do you enjoy most?
A: Art and graphics
B: Music and cheese
C: Science and logic
D: Cute fuzzy animals and writing

Which description best fits your personality?

B: Energetic (hyper?), talkative, enthusiastic
C: Nice, smart, creative, helpful
D: Wacky, zany, crazy, odd but hilarious sense of humour

You see something odd, that you’ve never seen before. What’s the first thing you think to do?
A: Teach it to play the hurdy-gurdy
B: Observe it, and possibly take it apart to see what it does and how it works
C: Write a detailed description of it, and have people read the description to see if they know what it is
D: Take a picture of it, and photoshop it being overrun by swarms of hot pink bunnies

Would anyone object to me drawing a floorplan of MA? I see it sort of as a castle, with 4 towers at the corners. AT the top of each would be the house common rooms and dorms, and below them would be a few classrooms whos subjects centered around that GAPA. For example, under the Lasely’s tower would be an art room, a grphics class, ect, that she would direct. Then in the middle would be other classes, the library, and various recreations. This is just the first thing I thought of, though, and I don’t know what everyone else thinks of it like.

Welcome to Spector house, Prarilius Canix, purplefinch and Jadestone (if this is indeed where you end up). Your other housemates are just now moving in.
As for where we are – Chicago or Reykjavik – it’s evident we’re in Iceland based on the basket of fresh-picked cloudberries Alice just placed on the house roundtable. They don’t grow in Chicago.

Quite pleased, Prarilius C. It’s a dream schedule. But as Purple P. points out, the schedule leaves out writing and literature â€” and a few other key subjects besides. One thing to keep in mind is that all houses will take classes together. Marvelous as the people in Spector house are, it would be a shame not to intermix with the other Muse Academicians.
Of course, we have house clubs and study groups to pursue our interests in areas left out of the general curriculum. Would you like to lead one?

251 (PraCan) – I don’t think there should be a list of languages you can take. I think the people in the class should decide what language they want to learn, then we’ll get someone to teach us.

I also think there should be a subject called “Writing.” Because, even though you said it is in storytelling, I think it’s too big to be combined into another name. Writing itself has so many categories that it deserves its own name.

Can Spector House write the school newspaper, or should we make that an elective that the entire school can participate in? I think, actually, it should be school-wide, now that I think about it.

i’d take fencing, band, english, old english, icelandic, gaelic, french, german, and more latin (oh, and elvish), some kind of science, most likely chem-related because i hated bio and i hate math, a bajillion history classes, especially a current events class, histories of china, japan, england, canada (wewt), czechoslovakia, and several religions classes especially norse gods and buddhism. Advanced pies and world domination are, of course (haha) a must, as well as silly walks and conkers. Different lit classes would be cool too, and definitely a shakespeare class and a chaucer class along with a sci-fi class (GOOD sci-fi. robert should teach this one :D) and mebbe some random writing classes (nano would be a requirement, and therefore a legitimate priority :P) Archaology would also be interesting, and the web tech class i didn’t have time to take this year Of course we’d need plenty of spare time to blog and read muse and listen to elvenking, so i guess we’d just have to stay at school for 8 or so years. (The school’s free to longtime musers of course) Ooh, and a cartooning class by larry g. would be fun. And of course we need a good theater program, which will also take up lots of time

Okay, Spector house it is. I’d probably fit better there after all, as although I do enjoy drama and such I’m not in drama-mood (hyper, exuberent, look-at-me ish) most of the time. And I’m not that great at visual arts…

I suppose that though our colors are red and green, things like the house badge/any jewelery we come up with (got to have some!) would have a silver backing while, say, Baker house would have a gold-colored backing as that’s one of their colors. But deep red and dark green are our main two colors.

(261) It’s probably edited for content as well. Ours was, as I wasted no time in finding out.

Chaucer is definitely taught in Middle English at MA. And the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in Old English. (Old and Middle English was one of my majors in grad school, so I have very strong feelings on the subject.) Translations are allowed for reference.

Paul Baker (Administrator)

261 – The trouble with translations is that they’re dependent on the translator. A rigid word-for-word translation almost always sounds stunted, so to get the feel of the original, a translator has to interpret, and insert equivalent idioms which never mean quite the same thing. It’s murder with Chaucer, because you’re never quite sure if he’s joking, and the ambiguity was probably quite deliberate. Translating accurately, but maintaining the ambiguity, is a hideously difficult task. It’s much easier to plough though the original until you can understand most of it. That way, you get proper Chaucer, and he’s FUNNY.

Hm. I’ve been working on the uniforms. It’s rather difficult, as there have been squabbles over precise colors. I have the basic garments of each uniform decided, however.

MUSE ACADEMY UNIFORMS

Girls

-Floor-length robe with long, flowy sleeves (mandatory within academy building)
-Double-lined synthetic fur cloak cloak (for cold weather)
-Choice of mary-janes, sneakers/hi-tops, or sandals (high heels discouraged due to their impracticalness, but permitted)
-Skirt in any style, ranging in length from just above knees to the floor
-Choice of mary-janes, sneakers/hi-tops, or sandals
-Pants in any style, so long as they don’t have any massive rips in them.

Boys

-Floor-length robe with long, flowy sleeves (mandatory within academy building)
-Double-lined synthetic fur cloak cloak (for cold weather)
-Choice of sneakers/hi-tops or sandals
-Kilt of any kind
-Choice of mary-janes, sneakers/hi-tops, or sandals
-Pants in any style, so long as they don’t have any massive rips in them.

ALL HEADWEAR IS PERMITTED; ETHNIC/RELIGIOUS DRESS (SARIS, HIJABS, ETC.) OF ANY KIND IS ENCOURAGED

I thought it was pretty lenient. Suggestions?

oxlin widdershins (267),
There seems to be some confusion about house schedules. Does each house have a schedule? Or do students from various houses intermix during classes? I was under the impression that the classes were mixed. But now I’m wondering if I’m seriously mistaken. I’ve been busy in my office studying seeds of the alpine marsh violet (viola palustris) and have slightly lost touch with reality.

About a house song – We do need one!

And to Jadestone (262) – House members individualize their robes, seals and other house-themed adornments with shiny metals of all types.

(274) We established earlier (or tried to) that classes are for the whole school. Though perhaps Houses could have special seminars, workshops, or invite guest speakers, etcetera. They just wouldn’t be part of the official curriculum.

As Robert said earlier, Houses are for residence, identity, and friendly competition. We want everyone to have plentiful opportunities to get to know the others.

I think we should definitely take classes together. How about we all decide what the core curriculum is, then we can make a list of electives.

Here are some of my ideas for core classes, which everyone takes:

-Writing
-English
-Mathematics
-Science
-A sport of some sort/some kind of physical activity
-Pie Studies (which would include Pie-throwing, pie-making, and the history of pies).
-Social Studies
-Language

These are the basics, but I’m sure people can make more core classes. But, not too many, because we always have electives to take care of the more specific classes.

271- Oh, I had sommat about shirts in there, but I think it got swallowed by something or the other. And I remembered boots and shorts briefly after I had entered the comment. Allow me to amend this.

-Shirts should cover the midriff and not be overly-revealing (in the words of the old Polish women in the play I’m doing in drama, we shouldn’t be able to see “all the way down to Fatima!). They must have a breast pocket that features the symbol of their house.
-Boots of any type are permitted.
-Shorts are acceptable in the warmer months. Students are expected to know what is appropriate when it comes to skirts and shorts.

The ethnic/religious garb is, like all other clothes, will still be worn under robes while within the indoor confines of the grounds.

GAPAs – I made a Spector-house-thing yesterday and sent it to you, did you get it? I must admit it was pretty depressing, but it was nicer than a plain bold-and-regular-text list i could type up in one of my posts.

I think electives should be school-wide too. Each house gets to help decide the electives and help choose them, but everyone can take them.

Oh and: Heating in all the rooms is a must. We can have a few draft corridors for dramatic purposes, but otherwise… *shiver* (yes, I know Iceland is greener than Greenland and all, but it’s still rather north)

How about there are two types of points awarded: Pie points (for being good), and HPB points (for being bad). So there’s no need to subtract points – you just award the point you think fits.

I award Coontz house 42 points for their fantastic Uruk-hai song, and Baker house 42 points for their excellent music playing in the halls of MA between classes!

How about the points are actually counted, just the place where that number is hidden somewhere in the school. So everyone is constantly looking for it to see what house is winning in points and such. And if someone finds the “counter,” it moves somewhere else right after they get a glimpse of it, so they can’t reveal the location to everyone else. And the person who found it knows the number at that time, but also knows that the number will always be changing.

Here’s my list of core classes. Then we’d also have electives which you’d take during the school day, and sports which you do on your own time. Also, how many years would Muse Academy be?

CORE CLASSES

English:
–Each year you take a different level of English, and study different thingsâ€¦

Mathematics:
–I donâ€™t know if you should take a different class each year, or if you should

Science:
–You can choose your sciences, but you must take one every year. Popular sciences include: Astrophysics and Biochemistry.

Pie Studies:
–Each year you do a combination of many different things, including: Pie-throwing (aerodynamics and such), Pie-making, and Pie-war history.

Social Studies:
–Iâ€™m not sure what courses to have, but here are some ideas:
World History, World Cultures, World Government, Muse History, Muse Culture

Language:
–Each year, you choose a different language. You must take two years of a language to become fluent, and you may pick ANY language you would like. Popular languages include: Arabic, French, German, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, English, Elvish, Klingon, and Russian
