Breathtaking
So I was looking online to see what the world record for holding your breath under water is. The world record is held by Tom Sietas of Germany who stayed under for 8 minutes, 47 seconds!
Crazy!! My own personal record is 61 seconds done at the YMCA pool. (Booo ya amanda! You didnt think I could even get close!) I have a long way to go, but I am hoping to break a minute and a half sometime this summer!
I was planning on going tomorrow with my little brother for big brother big sisters, but he has family in town, so maybe next weekend! (By the way, his own personal record is 22 seconds... but he's 10.)

A penny dropped is a penny myth....
DOing some 'research' for a friend who asked people's opinion on the topic, I went straight to Google and found some enlightening answers...
The old story regarding dropping a penny from the empire state building, in the authors words, "Hogwash...Poppycock."
Read the story at the link below:

As my mind winds down...
So last night, at around midnight, brain cells began to disappear forever. No, not from smoking pot to celebrate 4/20, but as I was strangely locked down mentally into watching Elimidate. Sure, i've seen it a few times before, but this time I sat down and watched a whole hours worth. I still can't figure out why. The females on there were not even attractive... one was kind of cute, the rest were just not cute, annoying, and stupid. Maybe it's just the process that my brain is taking to stop working in a few weeks once I finally finish college. That's the only thing I can think of to explain such biazarre events.

The Mystical Properties of Time.
As a kid, especially in high school, I would hear adults say "Time flies by faster as you get older." I didn't believe them. Looking back on my last 4 years here in Reno, I would have to say that time has flown by amazingly fast. I can remember driving down Virginia St my first night in town, with my soon-to-be-roommate, looking for the fast food restaurants... it seems like last week, and that was more than 3 1/2 years ago! It's crazy.
But then I think of the last few weeks, especially since I began to start counting down towards graduation, and it seems like it has taken forever! I only have 11 days of real classes, and then 2 days of finals (probably 3 cuz i'll take my time on my online ones) but that seems sooooo far away.... and then, even after I finish those finals, I have to wait a week to actually graduate.... crazy crazy crazy.

Alarmed at the rates of obesity among young people, the children's programme Sesame Street is embarking on a drive to educate its audience about the benefits of healthy eating. As part of the project, some of the show's favourite characters are getting nothing less than a makeover - Cookie Monster is going on a diet while Elmo has started professing a love for exercise.....
Wow... one of my favorite shows as a kid... I hope that Cookie Monster doesn't soon develop a poor self image.

I'm back and blogging!!!!
Wow... it's been such a long time since I've written. And what better day to start writing again than when there's only 168 days left until Hilary Duff turns 18. Boy that will be a wonderful day for men across the world....
I thought I maybe had strep throat, i had a sore throat that last like 4 days and they say to go get it checked if it lasts longer than 3.... Good news is that it wasn't strep.... bad news is that she noticed i had pink eye... good news is she caught it early before it even began hurting, so hopefully it'll be all better soon.
I have no desire to do any homework, and study.... I actually put a lot of work into studying for my Nutrition test i took this morning... usually i do it the night before or the morning of.... but I had to do well on this one....and I think I did, so that's good.
Hopefully I can write daily, or every other day.... Please continue to come back.... adios!
