New York Summer:Back To School

My second year at college began with as much fanfare as the next day. I am happy to say that everything worked out great, for the most part, and I am back in the swing of things.
My big goal this time is to follow-up last semester's straight 'A' with more of the same. Anything less and I will climb to the top of the Empire State Building and not come down...for a few hours at least.
Here is a brief description of my classes and professors.

History: Western Civilization
Dr Phil (as he is commonly known) was thought to be eccentric and maybe even boring. Turns out he is anything but...
His classes are fun with lots of group activities and he sends us into stitches with his jokes, which are all versions of historical events. He makes me want to major in History, which fascinates me anyway.

Developmental Psychology:
Professor J was a last minute replacement for the class, and talk about saving the best for last. Before him we had a young Missy who came in and purported to tell us in no uncertain terms, she was the only one who knew what she was doing. Needless to say, I took and instant dislike to her and was very relieved to see a different professor.
He is very knowledgeable, very funny and encourages class participation, a good recipe for a great class.

English II:
Professor T is funny without trying. I can't help think she is in the wrong profession. With all the eye-rolling, eyelids batting, sideways glances, I can picture her on a stage, and she had the commanding voice to go with it. Studying Shelly, Byron and reading Othello and Wuthering Heights will be lots of good learning fun.

Math: Intro. to Statistics.
Professor G is as good as gold (part of his name actually). A goldmine of information with a heart of gold. He strides from side to side during the session, hardly glancing at the class and every now and then, having a brief conversation with himself.
I am still trying to figure out his accent but I make it a point to sit at the front of the class to catch everything.

General Biology:
Professor M is the nice motherly type who take the extra time to make sure we understand, and answers every question, even the dumb, redundant one. And believe me, there are quite a few. Not that the students are dumb (although some clearly are) most of the time their heads are in the clouds and they miss important information while they are cloud-surfing.
The most endearing thing about her is her distinct New York accent. If you have seen movies like Saturday Night Fever (or the Broadway play) you will know what I mean.

I tried this weekend to at least meet my average of 3 hours a week of studying but too much was happening so I will try again this week. In fact, I have two days of school this week and three days next week. That adds up to one week out of two. Not bad for an easy going student like me but I know I have my work cut out for me and its not going to be easy A's like before.
