This year I am taking physics, math 1b (the second half of "the calculus") and chemistry. After 6 weeks, I now know my professors pretty well.

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays start with an 8 am lecture from Professor Boggs. This guy is pretty energetic despite having to get up and teach a class at 8 am. He's pretty mild mannered, although you can tell he get's annoyed when smart-alec students (actually it's just one student) keep butting in with observations about what we are learning. He cracks a few jokes every lecture. They aren't very good, but we laugh out of courtesy.

At 9 am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I have math 1b with Professor Per-Olaf Persson. I love this guy. He's from Sweden, so he has a slight accent when he talks. He's thirty something years old, but the accent makes everything he says sound funny. He doesn't really make jokes, but his class is full of fun and lulz because of the way he shuffles about saying things with his funny accent you wouldn't expect a professor to say.

At 12 noon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I have chemistry 4a with professor Head-Gordon. He's from Australia, so he has an Australian accent. This guy is as plain as bread and water. I don't think I ever heard him change the tone of his twangy Australian voice. He is the most boring of all my professors, so it's hard to pay attention in class. It doesn't help that the material is also very difficult.

At 11 am on Wednesdays I have a Mechanical Engineering seminar with Professor Benjamin Tongue. Professor Tongue does not teach any regular classes, but he is extremely entertaining. The first thing you notice about him is that he is bald, but he has very bushy eyebrows, so he looks pretty unusual. He speaks German, and will affect a German accent when doing impressions of BMW engineers. His Scottish accent isn't as clean, but it still sounds pretty good to my American ears. His jokes are pretty funny, and like Persson, he says thing you would never expect a professor to say. For example, when he was talking about the advantages of manual transmission, he included that it makes "you feel superior, and it's always important to feel superior." What a funny guy.

Just about every other day, Crossroads serves bacon for breakfast. It's good bacon too, salty, savory and crispy but not too crispy. The dining halls are buffet style so you can get as much as you want. How am I suppose to control myself? Ridiculous.

P.S.: Misleading titles are fun.
