What an intense week

My second term of college started on Monday. What a fun school schedule I have this term. I think the easiest way to do this is break this down by day class and what happened. So here goes nothing

Monday:
Fundamentals of Biology (lecture portion) :
The teacher is an interesting piece of work. He is an older gentleman. A black man from Guyana. His class is going to be extremely difficult. He talks extremely slow and with a heavy accent. He... also... has a.... habit... of.... separating.... all... his words... with.... long.... pauses. Oh yea. Its going to be ridiculous. I'll be doing a lot of book reading. But thats a good thing right?

Intro to Theater:
This class was not what I was hoping it would be. What I SHOULD have taken was an Acting class but hey you live and you learn right? Not to mention the teacher is really awesome. She seems like she's gonna be great. After talking to a few people I have only heard great things about her. So that is always good.

Fundamentals of Biology (lab portion):
Same teacher as the lecture portion, so I have the same issue as the other class. The lab for Monday was interesting. Five minutes of stepping onto a stool and stepping off. Five minutes. Then we measured heart rate. And how long to took to return to the starting point. I def got a small work out for the day

Tuesday:
Developmental Psych:
This teacher is so sweet. I already love her. She is so soft spoken but knows how to command a room. Our first class she had us do a meet a greet. I have extremely high hopes for this class and the students in it. (oh btw. If you watch Mythbusters, the episode testing open windows in a hurricane, the girl running the testing facility is my professors daughter)

English Lit:
I don't know what to make of this class. The teacher comes in, sits down, and just stays there frowning. She didn't say a word, just glared at us and glanced at the clock. The SECOND it was ten o'clock she stands up and starts lecturing. Still frowning. After going over the syllabus, she explains to us that she never smiles. That it is just the way she is. After listening to her (and coming to class again on Thursday)  I realized she's right. She seems like she will be a nice teacher. I certainly hope my assessment is correct.


I have plenty more to write about from my first week. But as far as school goes. Monday repeats itself on Wednesday, and Tuesday on Thursday.... But after school stuff is just as entertaining for this week. So... maybe later today? Maybe not. But at least you have a general idea to what I'm doing in class now

This was so funny! Haha. I already commented about your biology teacher, but I think it's so weird your english lit teacher doesn't smile and then TOLD YOU she doesn't smile, haha.
