SPRING-ing into the New Semester

SPRING-ing into the new semester...which is the SPRING semester. har har har.

The title of this blog, besides providing me with much amusement, is actually a fairly fitting description. I was a little antsy about returning back to college after winter break because I knew this would be my busiest semester. Even if I had no extra-curriculars, I would still have to balance 7 classes.

UNO:Anatomy and Physiology II
DOS:Anatomy and Physiology II Lab
TRES:Analysis of Movement
CUATRO:Bioenergetics of Movement
CINCO:Child Psychology
SEIS:Jazz Dance
SIETE:Medical Terminology (Latin & Greek Roots)

"Big whoop! That's like a normal classload"

Some of y'all may know this about me and some may not, but I'm not very good at juggling classes. I can't focus on more than a few tasks well, and that has translated into me not being able to focus on more than a few classes well. Usually, I focus on a few hard ones and get lucky on the other ones. The ones I get lucky on, I don't really learn jack. But I've got a strategy!! Stay ahead of my classes (for now) so when I get more busy and more lazy, I'll be right on top of em. Smiles. yEp!....seems simple enough.

In addition to my classes, I've got a new job (no more having fun in the dishroom), new research experience (not as a research assistant but as a research participant for a semester-long experiment), and AAA (Asian American Association) Fashion Show.

I will post more about those in later posts...I hope they'll be coming soon but we'll see. No guarantees.

Ooh! Wanna hear about something new I learned?
Infants spend about 16 hours of their days sleeping (where 1/2 is REM sleep....Awesome!). However, they sleep continuously throughout the day. While we usually stay awake for a large chunk and then go to sleep for a large chunk, babies alternate between being awake and asleep in small chunks. They don't have a morning or night! Why wonder parents never get good sleep when they have a newborn baby! They have to wake up whenever the baby wakes up. Yeah...I'm not going to have my own children. I'm going to get married, get a pet, and be all my friends' babies' godparent.

Last but not least, happy lunar new years everyone!! Unfortunately, I can't be home in Chicago for the occassion so no Chinese New Year dinner for me. Oh well...Joe can eat my share.

My imaginary 2012 Chinese New Year dinner.

Here's Joe's Chinese New Year dinner.

Kinda not eating the rice.

And thanks to Becky for sending me pictures of Joe and everything. I really appreciate it! Plus, thanks for the picture captions. They're basically from the text you sent the picture message with.

Ciao!
