Just got back from the gym

Nothing feels quite as good as relaxing after an intense workout.  You know you did something worthwhile with your time,  and you know you'll be better for it.  Plus, when you relax it feels twice as good after all the work you just did.

Finally finished the English paper

After a night of intense writing, the final English paper is written.  It really feels like an accomplishment when you look at the 1000+ words you wrote and how far you've come from the 250 word papers at the semester's start.

Free rice

Isn't it great that we can earn extra credit, expand our vocabulary, and donate rice to those in need all by answering vocabulary questions at freerice.com? It seems too good to be true, but it isn't, it's just another one of those modern marvels.

Are you smarter than a 2 year old?

Most toddlers are learning their ABCs, but Elise Tan Roberts can already say "isosceles."  This 2 year old British toddler has an astonishing IQ of 156!  Compare that to Albert Einstein's IQ of 160, and you see even more how astonishing this little girl is. She knows 35 countries capitals, and can count in english and spanish. Maybe we should take this as a sign to start giving our children tea at a young age.

Sunday mornings

My favorite thing about sunday mornings is that they always seem to be sunny and clear skied.  You get to sleep in, relax for most of the day, and finish up any homework that's due the next week.  It isn't hectic like friday or saturday, which makes it special.

Swine flu is dying down

Now, apparently the swine flu isn't as dangerous as expected. The spread of this disease has slowed substancially, and it hasn't mutated as scientists had feared. That's good news for everyone across the world, especially Mexico. Hopefully it will continue to die down.

The end is near

With my classes nearly over, it's finally time to buckle down and start studying for my finals.  It'll be hard, but after the finals are done and over, I'll have all summer to relax and have fun.  Sometimes you just have to look ahead to concentrate on the present.
