This is where I keep my textual properties.

I also have a tumblr account where i see funny things and waste life.  Tonight, we ordered pad thai and my bf accidentally told people that I wanted "Extra spicy" when I actually just want "spicy". Anyway. It made my stomach BURN. yes. BURN..

And I'm one that can take good heat.

well he felt bad about messing up my order, and I completely understand that. But I'd double check before placing the order..

Yesterday I did again, honey facial using the "el brezal" organic honey I got from world market.
The one I got was from a squeeze bottle, but this is a better value. 
This is an organic type of honey and I just rubbed a generous amount on my face after cleansing with cetaphil cleanser (for all skin types)

And just left the honey on my face for 20 minutes. The second day when I woke up my skin felt SUPER soft. I'm definitely going to continue using it. 
Also from world market, I replenished my tea selection. peppermint and earl grey from twinings and black tea from Yorkshire gold. Definitely excited to try them out. 


Right now I'm procrastinating. I could have just gone out of my room to study but something tells me not to. Before Monday, I'll have to complete my neurons in action tutorial summary. Abstract for research and half of my math homework. 
I better get started.

Rainy Day, okay grades

So the final grades were kind of as expected. 3 As 1 b and 1 c. I could rant forever on my grades but I choose to let it go and use it as a self motivation for my next semester. Having thought about my future, I am starting to doubt my life as a Neural Engineer, I am very passionate about this field but I definitely have uncertainties about myself...just like every other person. I need my old confidence back.

The good news on the other hand is that my GPA is still above 3.6...just barely, but that's something and I still have 3 semesters improve!

Reflections for the past semester.

Things I'm proud of:

- I got more involved in my social life.
- Got good grades for the classes I thought I might not have
- Learnt presentation skills and lab report writing skills
- Knit a hat in one day
- Went to Wisconsin for a) sheep and wool festival and b) visited my dad at UWM.
- Grew some plants
- Withdrew from a class in time.


Things I feel I should have done:

-More self control over time. (Time spent doing useless things like not cleaning my room)
-Clean room more often (a clean room really makes you think clearly)
-Should have kept up with homework assignments for BME 309 for a better grade.
-Less time should be spent just dazing.


Things I have learnt the most:

-When studying for a qualitative exam, go over the notes very carefully and try to think like a professor (what kind of questions would I give to my students?) .
-Take timed study breaks 10 minutes at a time. Come right back to study after the break.
- If you spend a lot of time studying for a test, you will do great in it. ( At least an ideal grade would reward you for your effort)


Things I should do for my next semester:

- See thing I have learnt the most
- Continue with strong belief in myself.
- More time should be spent studying.


Hey future Sally, you rock =]
