Saturday, September 10, 2005Okay, well, I haven’t had any time to update, and really I shouldn’t be updating right now I should be reading but I am taking a break! University started up again and is just as hectic as ever, for anyone interested here’s a little overview of my third year courses this semester! Nutritional Assessment – looks to be challenging but both my girls are in the class so it should be fun. We had a pop quizzy on Friday to test our knowledge before the course even started and as usual Bria and I got the same mark 12/15! Human Development & The Family – Flash back to Psych 101-102, thankfully I have both of those courses under my belt so this shouldn’t be too hard. Nutrition & Dietary Behaviour – Dr. Jennifer Taylor is the prof (she rocks my socks)! This is going to be my favorite course I already know it. It’s all about why people eat the way they do, and what motivates people to eat healthy or unhealthy foods. Seriously how can we be Dietitians without taking this course? I think it should be required. Research Methods – Hermm, I don’t think it will be my favorite course because it has a lot to do with statistics, and we all know how much I love stats. NOT. Ahh well, it’s with Jenn Taylor so I should be fine. Biochemistry - Mr. Barry Linkletter… we meet again! It seems like a very interesting course but it’s also the hardest course at UPEI so I guess I will stay on top of things and see how it goes. So, that’s the course summary. In other school related news Miss Bria and I got offered a Lab Assistant positions for the Intro 111 Foods course (I got the Monday lab and B got the Wednesday lab)! I was honored and accepted the offer even though I will be super busy. I couldn’t turn it down when she asked, I am thinking about doing my honours with this professor so I figured it was a great opportunity. She also told us it looks great on a resume for grad school! If you asked me three years ago if I ever though I would be a lab TA I would have said no, but these past few years have built my confidence and I am excelling in school and love it. I am also running for a spot on the FANS exec. 3rd year nutrition rep to be exact. It looks like I am almost assured the position, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I am going to be super busy with 3 labs, Fans, humane society and working but I know that each are valuable and I can't leave any out! I also got my hair cut short and highlighted! I feel like a new person, which is great, that hair was weighing me down and I needed a change. Here are some pictures!  Peakes with Megan!!  Gilly and Moi Bria and Gill Well that's all for now, I do like this blog so check for more updates and leave comments people!
Sunday, September 04, 2005Sorry to any readers that may be disappointed with my lack posting. I switched to a myspace account a few months ago for more privacy, I added most of the people that I trust and know, however if I forgot you just send me a quick email, if you don't know my email then most likley I don't know you well enough to add you! I'll still update this blog, but anything personal is going on myspace! Check out Johnny’s blog, he's the traveling man! Leave comments for him, much love!
