Last Blog!

Finishing this last blog today means it is one less thing that I have to worry about now for Technology class. There is still alot of projects to be completed which will become harder to do with the weather finally starting to get nice and summer break approaching. I still have not started my efolio, which is only due in a month, but the deadline will be here pretty fast. I might actually to get it started this weekend, hopefully.
Well, this is it, the final blog!

Preparing for our backpacking trip

Today in Outdoor Pursuits, we had a somewhat boring class. Usually we do some fun activities such as ice breaker activities or initiative games or rock climbing. Today we learned about what type of clothes to wear for our upcoming backpacking trip. We also learned about hypothermia and ways to take care of people that get it. Hopefully next class will be a little more interesting and we won't have to sit so long.

Guest Speaker

Yesterday in Health Foundations class we had a guest speaker. She came to talk about smoking and the effects of it. She brought in pig lungs that are identical to human lungs. One set of lungs were healthy and one set was what a set of smoker's lungs would look like. It was neat to see what the lungs looked like when they didn't have air in them and then she blew them up with air. I was surprised how big they actually were when inflated. Another visual the guest speaker had was how much tar enters the body and lungs in a month and in a year. Another interesting fact that I learned about smoker's lungs were that if the lungs are not permently damaged and if the person stops smoking after about 10 years their lungs become healthy again.

Back to school work

I had a great spring break. I spent some time down in South Carolina with my sister, but when I was there it was only in the 30s and 40s and on the last day it snowed there. The next couple of days after I left it was supposed to get up into the 70s and 80s. Oh well, it was still a good time. Now I sit here at my computer thinking of all the projects that I need to get done for this class and all of my other classes. There is so much to get done, and there are no more breaks until summer, not even a day off for Easter.
