science class

This is my first quarter, back in school since 2008.

I am taking science classes, bio and chem, and never in the history of my life, I study this much !
And learn as much as well.

This time I attend the class, I listened, I review, I do exercise, and I actually understand it.
Instead of memorizing.
And it feels great.

In Bio we learn so much about cells and genes, and genetic information, and genetic disorder.
and its great (and kinda scary in some ways)

Learning about genetic disorders makes me wants to take out some eggs and just freeze it, and safe it till the time to have baby.
The risk of having baby with down syndromes is high if you are under 20years old and over 35 years old.
Better to make babies now, woman ! or else, make sure u get amniocentesis test.

IT is because the control system on the cell reproduction cycle tends to become bad as you are older.
Thus if something goes wrong in your cell (and baby are made from cell !) and during the cell division, it can just pass through the checkpoint.
And you may have a baby with some problem.

If your checkpoint is still good, working very well, the chance is that you will have miscarriage, if you have a baby with genetic problem.
This is just the way of nature to make sure that the baby that is being born is generally healthy, and will be able to survive.

So, should I safe some eggs ?

My days starts in a really good way.

How wonderful !

We share this

Husband and I share this : 

And when you open the zipper 

If you take the cover off, it looks like this :

(do you have any idea what this thing is ?? :D )

Without lid, the thing reveal it self !

And it has a lots of containers too....

Open the Container, and this is what you will find :

LUNCH !!!!

Today's lunch :

Grape, salad, rice with chicken, minestrone soup

 

Cool lunch box called Mr Bento from Zojirushi !!

This lunch box keep your hot food hot, and keeps the cool one cold.

So we can eat healthy and fresh food everyday :)

Plus, nothing spilled :D

The soup was still hot as I packed it this morning at 7.30

Rice is still warm, salad still fresh, and so does the grapes !

We planned to buy another one of this.

So both of us can have one.

It cost some money, but if we use it 10 times, it paid off.

And in the long term, it cost less money than buying lunch everyday  :)

thank you, husband

I was really bummed last night,
I throw tantrum 
and when I did, it is ugly.
I stomp my feet on the ground, and was really mad,
and challenging any words come from husband's mouth


But husband is there.
and just listen.
then he cheered me up.


Thank you, Bill
I love you <3

2 weeks of school + 1st exam !

I've been in school for two weeks.
I think in the last 2 weeks, I've been study much more than 3 months of school at Indo.
I find myself in the library a lot of time, and still occupied with my book at home and in the bus.
Bill said "ease up with the study, girl!"
But I can't.

I am so concern about this school, and I want to make sure that I'll do good.

I have a study group, as I wrote in the previous post, her name is Morgan.
Last Thursday we spent so much time together, studying for our first exam.
We study from 2pm - 8pm.

And Friday came !
We met early in the morning, and study some more.
Test starts at 10.40, the first one is Bio, followed by Chem,

I was really nervous with the Bio test, because I didn't feel confident about my bio (all those organelles!).
And I feel pretty good with the Chem (I mean, I felt like I know what to do with the math)

Result is back today, and I scored 87% on Bio and 85.9% on Chem.

Pretty good, but not as good as I expected, which means that I should study harder !
