first exam of fall 2010

wrote my first exam today - coronary. It was open book so it was quite okay. My notes were so sick and pro at being tabbed that it was really easy to go through.

Ruth, Sarah and I have been sleeping in the living room (we sleep on mine and ruth's mattresses) and we were supposed to all wake up together and do morning devotions before going into this exam period but 1) i was frantically trying to print all my notes and 2) we woke up quite late.

HOpefully we can do it tomorrow :)


Currently in dwe with a couple friends studying. It's kind of depressing considering there's no windows and there's a huge drawing of mcdonald's on the front chalkboard with "공부하자 - let's study" written right next to it.. WHAT a tease...

being direct

"One productive day is always followed by an unproductive day" - Lillian Leung

Day one. 9.5 hours at DC library
Day two. sleeping and rolling around
Day three. playing and eating
Today. it was gloomy outside. that's my excuse

random snippets of my mind

this is what i think about while studying...

if the world was fair, dolly would be SO FAT and i would be average considering our daily food intake. im counting on the world to make dolly super fat later on in life when our metabolism sucks.

BEAUTIFUL DAY!!


Current Location: CLV Unit 20 main floor
Current Activity: writing paper on how broccoli helps fight cancer
Current Time: 3:11AM
Current Mood: very chill

I wish i went out for st. patty's day today. everyone was clubbing or drinking and i was sitting in DC library til it closed and then at BMH lounge til dolly was done playing. And now while my lovely housemates sleep, i'm hating broccoli more and more despite its awesome health effects.

walking home last night.. deserted streets. it's pretty spooky yet strangely calming


the sunrise.. went to bed at 8AM and woke up for my 10AM class


Free food at dc. my cheap, fat friends RUN.


the sandwich can't even fit in ... she forces the lid shut


jocelyn's clearly excited to eat it.. she ate half of it in class cuz it wouldnt' fit into her tupperware




stole her cupcake.. she goes from begging for it back to beat you down mode


green slushy for st. patty's

study break

Sitting here studying...

embryology ... can't visualize
research design midterm on wed
stats.. forgot my book in loo
SIGH



on sunday, went out to lunch with aeri alice and jenny



They bought me a HUGE burger.. i didn't know xtreme meant TWO patties



Yesterday, went out with high school friends

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

olympic highlights!

• bilideau winning canada's first gold in men's moguls
• groves winning bronze in 5000m long track
• robertson having the lead but then missing a jump in snowboard cross giving him silver
• ricker winning gold in women's snowboard cross - pure ownage
• lee sang hwa winning women's 500m long track AND
• mo taebum winning men's 500 m long track on his 21st birthday (feb 15, 1989)
• this brings it to 3 long track which korea wasn't expected AT ALL to do well in
  
• canada 10 switzerland 1 in women's hockey
• canada 8 norway 0 in men's hockey

the more and more i watch olympics,
and despite the many many many glitches happening so far,
the more and more i feel proud to be canadian.

i think in the past, i was proud to be korean because that's what my heritage is. but i'm realizing more and more how canadian i am and how proud i am to be both korean and canadian.

and it drives me nuts to see korean immigrants badmouth canada when canada's doing better than korea AND when canada's the place that's giving them opportunity, education, jobs, etc.

study tips: food

I found my newest favourite blog! It's called the study skills blog and i'm so pumped to start trying them out. Sadly, i'm not in school right now but since some friends are starting exams, i thought i'd share! There's too much to share in one sitting, but since everyone seems to eat junk food during exams I thought i'd share what you should be eating.

1. Having trouble sleeping? Eat cheese
2. omega 3 fatty acids (especially fish)
3. peanuts! They have vitamin b, antioxidants, folate AND they have no cholesterol!
4. Strawberries - contain fisetin which helps with remembering what you've studied
5. Blueberries - increase learning capacity and motor skills
6. Berries in general! have antioxidants that are not only good for your body but for your brain as well! AND they boost your immune system so you wont get sick and feel crappy while studying!
   
7. Moderate doses of chocolate (dark chocolate = boosts brain function; milk = improve visual and verbal memory)
8. Feeling sluggish / slow? DRINK WATER! (6-8 cups a day ^^) or grape juice does the same effect!
   
9. Sage - improves neurotransmitter levels
10. Curry - helps to remove plaque in the brain
11. Apples! they help to awaken your brain and they taste delicious!!!

I realized I stopped referencing my facts and i'm too lazy to go back to find them, but all of it is from studyskillsblog. It's a pretty cool site!!

This week, I...

realized that being a research ASSISTANT sucks. I want to RESEARCH.

finished 3 books. Secret Life of Bees is a good one.

realized I haven't been reading my Bible.

enjoyed studying at the Mac library for my MCATs and realized I don't suck at physics as much as I thought I did.

gave up on doing my tax returns by myself.

made another goal - be more productive each week that I live!

Before I leave, can I just say... HURRAH for cold weather! Finally the weather is not so humid and I can walk around with the cool breeze that tickles my bones!

It snowed in Waterloo - crazy weather.
