Texas is hot, and I am prone to perspire. This is a yucky combination! Unfortunately, I must endure the heat as I walk to and from class each day. No, wait--just Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays! Still, that's at least 2 miles of walking each of those days. I sorely need a bike!

Anyway, I've been to all my classes twice now. Here are some random thoughts I've had:

• English
  While discussing argument-based research papers, she used the term "willy-nilly." This caught me off guard, because she didn't seem the willy-nilly type. I hope she brings it back for an encore.

• Speech
  This professor worries me. He seems nice and energetic, but he definitely resembles one of those claymation Santa Claus characters! Plus, his vocabulary lacks the simple word "no." Instead, he says "nay, nay," which honestly makes him sound like a horse.

• Quantitative Business Analysis
  The professor who teaches this class is not the one I signed up for last spring. Why did Dr. Kay decide to have that dumb baby and quit teaching??

• Old Testament
  Dr. Harvey reminds me a lot of Al Borland from Home Improvement. I'm not sure yet whether I like that or not.

That sums up my initial impressions of this semester's tyranical dictators. (No, that doesn't have anything to do with dinosaurs.) Oh, by the way, I have a new guitar!
