My Poor, Neglected Baby Blog

I usually post once a month. At least. These past few months, I was studying so hard that I couldn't even think about spelling my own name at the end of the day, much less compiling a compelling blog entry. I've been at Foothill College taking two sections of Human Anatomy and Physiology and a section of Elementary Statistics. This school operates on a quarter system, so the schedule is really intense; I had at least two tests going on in one week. In my last two weeks, I counted up how many lectures I sat through in one week and was very surprised I had kept myself interested. NINE. That's right. NINE lectures in one week. The amazing thing was, well actually there are two amazing things:

1. I really enjoyed the classes and the laboratories. Four out of the five teachers enjoyed experiencing their students learning the material.

2. I ended up pulling straight A's. Statistics always scared me. I hadn't had a math class in almost nine years, and math is one of those things that if you don't use it, you lose it.

So, enough about school. I'm actually on a break and will begin volunteering soon for Santa Clara Valley Medical in their Occupational Therapy out-patient clinic. Their rehabilitation facility is the best in Northern California, so it should be a great experience. I'm also looking into volunteering at a children's hospital for special needs. It will be a growing experience, but I am definitely up for it.

Many things happened over the past couple of months:
1. My fella graduated from graduate school.
2. Mom and Cactus visited NorCal and we tore it up. San Francisco will never be the same again. :)
3. My fella got a great job working for the City of Los Altos.
4. My baby blog turned one year old.
5. I became slightly addicted to MySpace and have reconnected with many old friends.

So, while I am studying for the GRE and volunteering, I will try to be a better blogger.

Just as a side note: I was performing spell check and the dictionary on this site didn't recognize "blog" or "blogger."

Guess what? my old computer is working again. Something about the wiring. So that probably means no laptop now. Oh well, I least I have this dinosaur. I enjoyed reading your blog. It is hard to believe so much has happened in 1 month. Love, yomama
