Small Digital Camera I Saw

cameras get smaller and smaller every day it seems. I recently saw a digital camera that was smaller than my cell phone. It still had all the features of a regular sized digital camera too. The buttons on it were so small that some with big fingers could never operate this camera. The price was reasonable for the camera I thought it was only like $100 which is a lot less that other digital cameras out on the market.

Tag is Good Excercise and Fun

The past two Fitness Edu. classes that I attended have been so much fun. We are working on warm up games. Each pair of students is responsible to teach the rest of the class how to do a warm-up game, each one is different. Even though each game is different a majority of them resemble It Tag. The class has been playing these games and I find them to be so much fun. I get my heart rate up and get good excercise without even realizing it. I could see how overwieght people might not have a much fun though because they cant escape the person who is it as easy and it is hard for them to catch people when they are it. Lucky for me I am fast so I love it.

Wii is good excercise

Wii to me is a great way to excercise. It is the best on a rainey or cold day just to sit inside and play. I have even broken a sweat many times playing different games. I think that boxing is one of the most physically demanding games there is on Wii. You are constintly moving your arms.

I Hate When the Internet is Down.

The internet is such a wonderful thing but when it isnt working it really annoys me. I have a wireless internet connection in my house, it works I would say 98% of the time. However the 2% of the time when it is down for whatever reason I cant stand it. It always seems to go out right when I need the internet to do school work. So instead of getting a 10 minute project down in my room I have to go all the way to the library just to finish it. A good example is when I was going somewhere ( I dont even remember where I was going) and I need to get directions off the internet it was down and I had to go to the library to print out directions and then go where I was going. So much time would have been saved if I could have just looked up directions in my room and then leave.

HD TV is Wonderful

My roomate recently got a 56 inch Sony HD TV for our house and I just might fail college because of it. The picture is so much better it is amazing and I cant stop watching it. Watching sports in HD is almost like being being on the field, court etc. You can see the sweat dropping off the athletes faces and the stitches on their jerseys. As much as I love watching sports my favorite HD channel is the Discovery Channel you can see everything so vividly expecially animals. The Planet Earth series is amazing. If you wanted to you could count every hair one a persons head or on an animal. After he got his I immediatly started saving and I am planning on getting an HD TV of my own in the very near future.

All this snow and no classes cancled

I realize that students at SRU pay a lot of money to be educated here, but I dont think it is worth risking the health and even lives of students just so they get that education they pay for. The roads in Slippery Rock are terrible especially today. If I didnt live as close to campus as I do there is no way I would even think of getting in my car, which sucks in the snow, to go to class for 50 minutes. Then come back two hours later for another 50 minutes. I agree going to class is important but not when the roads are as bad as they are and especially when it is this cold. Just lisen next time it is quite in a classroom, every few seconds there is a sniffel or a cough. I blam this on the cold weather and the university for making students be in it.

Is the twenty minute swim necessary?

I already took aquatics fundamentals with Dr. Kovacs but I over heard somebody complaining about the 20 minute swim yesterday and I remembered how much I hated it. I personally feel that in aquatics class we do enough lap swimming that it shows students have good enough swimming endurance. The 20 minutes swim doesnt teach anyone anything and if anything it hurts their swimming strokes, I dont know a single person who was able to keep their strokes perfect throughout the whole 20 minutes. You just get to fatigued and do whatever you can just to stay afloat and keep moving forward. Even though I didnt enjoy it at all, it did feel so good to be done and know that I accomplished it. Good luck anyone in aquatics!

The First Quiz in Tech. for PETE

Today in Technology for PETE we took the first quiz on chapters 1 and 2. I was scared after the last class because I heard the rumor that the quizes are hard and people hardly ever pass them. After taking the test I really didnt think it was that hard. I definaly could have studied more but personally I think I did pretty good even though I dont know what grade I got on it. Questions nine and ten were the only ones that I had a hard time with and had to think about. Atogether I think I passed and know now how to prepare for the next quiz which is next week.
