Have you heard of this term, Freshman 15?

In the US, they have this phenomenon called Freshman 15. Students entering college/university, in their first year, will usually put on 15 pounds due to the rich cafetaria food.

And in Malaysia, I would say that we have a phenomenon called Freshman 15 too. Students lose 15 pounds in their first year due to the lousy cafetaria, chap-fun, lots of maggi-mee and the daily walkathon to and from class, especially if you’re in UPM.

Ah….the good old days.

Busy busy busy…..

There are so many things on my plate right now, it feels quite overwhelming. Here are some stuff that’s on my mind
1. A midterm exam on Special Education Law on Monday (Feb 27)

2. A market analysis paper for my Learning Environments class due on Wednesday (March1)

3. Data analysis and preparation for poster session at the PBS conference in Reno, Nevada, on March 23. I get to go jalan-jalan Reno and the other students and I are planning to drive to Lake Tahoe for a day trip. A long time ago, during the days of teenage novels, I remember reading about the Sweet Valley twins going to Lake Tahoe for a ski trip…hahaha.
4. Qualifier to be completed by April 21. I really need to get this done by this date in order to take my comprehensive exam in September.

These boots are made for walking….in the snow.

Actually I just called the boots, heavy boots, because they are…heavy. Not really special snow boots. They are waterproof but the boots are not high enough so if the snow is really deep..the snow may enter the boots and melt.
