Hello!
I hope you're all having a great week! If you're not, be happy because it's almost Friday! This week went way too fast, like most of the others so far... This week has been pretty busy for me. Between classes, studying, and cross country practice, I have little time for anything else. My weekend is going to be dominated by studying, too. Next week consists of a women's lit. midterm, philosophy quiz, physiology quiz, and an organic chemistry test. I'm stressed thinking about it!
Did you know that you're born with the most muscle cells that you'll ever have throughout your lifetime? Isn't that interesting!! So, when you lift weights and you think you're building muscle, you really aren't. You're just building actin and myosin fibers, which wrap around the muscle cells. We're learning about muscle cells in anatomy and I had to share that fun fact! Another thing we learned is this: when you run a lot and think you're getting stronger, you're really not because in order to get stronger you have to continue to lift heavier and heavier weights. And since you're just carrying your body around, you're not getting stronger because the weight stays the same. And if you lose weight due to the running, you're carrying around less weight and, therefore, you're really not getting stronger. Isn't that something?! That was a very brief explanation but I hope you enjoyed it. :)
I have to finish reading "The Awakening" now for my women's lit. class. So I better get going. I've been putting off reading the last 10 or so pages because I've been studying organic chemistry all night...I have a quiz tomorrow and I'm really nervous! Wish me luck!!!
Have a happy Friday!
Out for now...
Shannon :)
