Back to School Time Again

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Blog. Hope all is well and everyone passed their midterms and any other exams that you may be taking. A reminder once again registration is open for the Fall and if you waited this long you may not get what you want so register quickly. As we all know for those who aren't taking summer class and also those who are parents that it is Back to School time again. Everyone young and old preparing to return to school for the Fall sessions, which means more crowded and noisy morning trains. Ah well i will have to deal with that when the time comes in about two weeks, but now onto current business.

A lot of stuff has happened in the past couple of days both personally and educationally. I had three exams this week, two in class and one take home assignment that was due today. I did my Fantasy Football draft on Sunday which was nice since i am playing in a league that has a couple of my coworkers and friends. On Saturday i handed in all my textbook assignments for web design and i learned a lot of cool new things and expanded on stuff that i learned in Web Design 1. Our professor made us pair up for the final project on Volunteerism. For those who wish to see what these types of classes are like we will be having a viewing of all our classwork on Aug 25Th in the main building in the Midtown campus. I kinda was resenting having to work with a partner but then i realize that it would cut my workload in half and the only thing we would have to make sure is that the navigation bar works.

Since we had exams on Monday and Tuesday i didn't learn anything new in Econ or Advance Spreadsheets. Oh and the immature kids in Econ did nothing to me nor complained about anything, thank the lord. Today in psychology I learned a lot even though it was a shortened class. We finished the chapter on the physical structure of the brain, which was more biology than psychology. We then moved into the dreams and structure of conscience chapter in the book. We got a good look at the different levels of sleep and we learned about REM sleep. REM sleep starts about every 90 minutes and lasts about 10 minutes. Scientists discovered that people that do not have their REM sleep end up becoming disoriented and spacey. It appears that REM sleep is necessary as it is the brain doing its exercise. Just like a muscle that is not used for a long period of time the brain will also atrophy over a long period of not being used. So REM sleep allows the brain to stay on top of its game.

It is now time for the Rebecca and Jose corner. Rebecca continues to be a great big sister and shows nothing but love for her brother. She continues to make friends with all the older kids on the block and when i mean older i mean around 13 yrs old. Jose continues to grow and is almost a month old. He seems to have some acid reflux so our doctor told us to try some new things to ease his fussiness and acid reflux. Hopefully it will work because he has not slept well in the past two days. Anyway that is for now, catch you guys later.
