Presentations

Wow...I have been really enjoying all of the student presentations we have been having in class. I am so used to watching all mechanical engineering students present so its nice for a change to see how other students present and style that they use, I get great ideas how to improve myself. Its interesting to see how some people interpret a piece of art while what I was seeing completely different. This is a great way to change up the class. I'm loving it ..... :o)

Running Barefoot

I enjoy running as much as my body and this heat will allow me to do. I just got a great new pair of sneakers that I actually got fitted for because I was having a lot of pain in my feet and legs in my previous pair of shoes. I felt I could run faster and more comfortable since I have changed over to these sneakers.

Today in class we went sort of off track and began talking about this tribe that goes running numerous miles with no shoes. This was very interesting to me since I complain when I have a pair of shoes that I feel are uncomfortable and when these people are running with no shoes on and winning races!!! I must be a baby to be complaining about hurting feet.

I came across many articles saying that running barefoot is actually safer then running with shoes. "It allows you to run with the proper technique, instead of the heal-toe technique used when wearing sneakers." said by Ken who runs all of his races with no shoes and says now that sneakers only slow him down. I don't know if I would ever be able to handle the pounding of the cement in the city of Boston on my bare feet!

Stop Texting!

well after finishing up a crazy birthday weekend I'm exhausted and realized that I haven't posted in a while....on Friday i got to go to my first red sox game ever a few rows behind home plate it was amazing!!

In class this week when we talking about virtual relationships it got me to start thinking about how my relationships have changed a lot from when I was a freshman to now just like technology is changing. I have realized and as well my roommate that when we meet people and exchange numbers they always text us but four years ago it was always a phone call since we really didn't use texting. It really bothers me actually texting people it begins to be awkward when you talk to people since you are so used to having this computerized conversations constantly ....

Already we have discussed in class how men and women have conflict in relationships for numerous reason and i feel having conversations through texting only worsens the problem..in the beginning of relationships every one relies to much on texting...how can you tell how a person really is if you never hear their tone of voice ..but only reading text...i think we all need to stop using texting after just meeting someone and stick to the old school phone call
