First days back at school, crazy professors

Ever since I got back to school on Sunday, my days have been filled with celebration of the return to school (ie partying) combined with a sprinkling of going to classes. My first class on Tuesday was awful. I should have been forewarned by the reviews on ratemyprofessors.com, which included this gem:

I didn't really truly love before carlton james. He loved me. He told me. I realized I loved myself. Just kidding, this guy's a ****ing whackjob.

He made a statement along the lines of "if you value a scientific approach to psychology, you'll probably come to hate me." At this point though I already hated the man who is affectionately known by the moniker "the love doctor." Maybe I wasn't hugged enough as a child, but I think this guy can take his humanistic approach and shove it. I'm not going to waste a class as potentially interesting as Abnormal Psychology on a nutjob like James. So, I walked out of class, and the next day switched into Adolescent Development instead. Problem solved.

My physics class today was a different story. If there was one moment I wished I had my camera, it was when Dr. Croft shot around the room like a bullet, wearing roller skates and propelled by a fire extinguisher - all to illustrate the concepts behind vectors. He survived the ordeal, and was met with cheers and applause. I think I have a new favorite teacher. Next class I think he's doing a similar demonstration, only to illustrate rotational momentum... or something. I'll be sure to have my camera on hand.

Last night was also very enjoyable. I got 2nd place in the Dr. Mario TRUE RANKING tournament.

It's good to be back.
