I'm Outta Here Nancy

Happy birthday to Brendon James Waters! He was born today, seventh period.



Carrying him home from school today pretty much broke my arm however. He was ten pounds four ounces, and I do not enjoy carrying him about. My arm feels like jell-o now, and its kind of freaking me out. I really wish I could find my carrier. This class has convinced me once again not to have children. They are pretty much the worst financial decision you could make. I think I understood the purpose of the baby assignment before it was even given to us.



I went ice skating over winter break, and I'm not very good at it. Whenever I skate my feet are turned inward, like I'm leaning on the blade, so I always get a really bad blister. Also, I never wear high enough socks, so you would think I would figure it out eventually. But no, I just forget every year to wear socks. In any case, I got this horrible blister, and the scab came off the other day. Imagine a stretched out fifty cent piece, and thats about the right size of the blister. Needless to say, it was bleeding pretty bad.



Ha ha, Bailey is on this list!

I'm taking fitness for life online right now, and I have to find a gym so I can go work out, which doesn't really sound like fun. I'm almost done with the first term thank goodness. The only good things that have come out of taking this class are (1) I can breath after running up stairs, this really is a miracle and the only good thing ever to come out of exercise, and (2) it's gotten me prepared to start training to be a superhero.

I've been reading an interesting book called Becoming Batman by this kinesiologist/martial artist and it is very intersting. What is really odd about it though is that everything I read in that book I have previously read or am going to read about it in my fit for life textbook. Basically I couldn't have picked a better time to read this book because every time I wouldn't have understood a question on a test I think about that book and it makes a heck of a lot more sense. It's kind of sad really when a book written by a doctor directed at adults makes more sense than a textbook directed at my age group. I've decided that in some cases more detail is not helpful, but in even more cases it makes it easier to understand.

Okay, that rule isn't true for chemistry and biological processes. Obviously the more simplified it is in those subjects, the easier it is to understand. Sometimes I wonder how I am getting an A in biology because I understood none of Kreb's Cycle, or Calvin's Cycle, or any of the chemical compunds associated with those cycles.

In other news, my dad brought home a Davis Darts "Newspaper" and reading it through once has convinced me that I have to be on that staff, because it was just about the worst paper I've ever read. No offense to the "Reporters" but shame on the editors. I found 4 or 5 errors in every article I read. Not only that, but some of them were just plain stupid articles. I read one that was about how wonderful Christmas music was, and their example was something like, "For instance, angrier music will make people act angry." Ummmmmmm, What!!!?? I'm willing to bet that some of that girls friends listen to "angry music." I listen to angry music, (obviously not what is on my playlist right now) but I am not an angry person. I'm sarcastic, and maybe a little mean from time to time, but I would not consider myself angry. I'm pretty free flowing. Apparently this girl didn't do her research.

The other articles weren't that much better, just for the record.


HAHA XOXO
