Good luck Studying for Finals

“Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.”

Yea so this quote totally doesn't relate to studying for finals next week, unless you concentrate on the word 

ENDURANCE. 

Just wanted to put it up here because needed something encouraging to look forward to at the end of the tunnel.  

 

Good luck everyone!

Less than 9 days left?!?!?!

I can't wait for this to be over. I am so sick of studying.  Sorry I haven't been updating. I will try to recap the past 2 weeks!

 ******

There hasn't been anything too crazy to type about except that this past monday was our last exam before finals!!!! If you recall we have had exams every single week and its really exhausting to be studying every week and at the same time not get behind in the other courses.

I got so behind that I didn't even have time to do laundry.

It was a total pigsty. I was in the middle of trying to do laundry but then I got distracted and had to study.

I had to walk around this to get to the toilet for the whole week.

Don't worry! It's clean now. It's just a clean mess all over my bed.

Last weekend was our End of the School year cruise and I got nominated for the  'Community Service Award' but unfortunately didn't win. I wasn't really surprised because there were a lot more people who did deserved it more than me especially because they are super active on campus but it was nice to be nominated by my peers ^_^ .

But at least one of my friends won for Honorable mention for Peer Tutor of the Year for our whole college =)

 Congrats JT

So I am back home to go to the BF formals tonight. I am really excited to get to see everyone and to go to my my 1st Pi formals. What I am most excited about is getting a chance to spend time with him before finals hits where I can't talk to anyone for the next 2 weeks.

And a shout out: 

Thank you love.

Now when I wear this, I will always think of my favorite 2 people. 

The BF and the Biffie.

Must it always be a competition between you two? Hahah

Side Note: if you ever need Jewelry, go to 35 Winter Street in Downtown Boston!

Also another SHOUTOUT:

I take it back- your not a brat =)

<3 you !

Now back to studying before getting done up tonight.

4.8.11. 1st Annual International Fusion

Note: I am really proud of everyone's hard work!!!! 
Note2: Be prepared for picture vomit on this blog post. =D

Friday, Apr 8 2011

The campus's 1st Annual International Fusion hosted by the Multicultural club and Dance Club.

I only volunteered to be in the American Fashion Show and the Bollywood Dance but I know others volunteered for all or most of the dances (with little to no background in dancing) and so the last two weeks was a madness of dance rehearsals everyday until midnight among the vast amount of work we had to balance from school of exams, assessments, meetings, and other school club responsibilities.

When that day came, it was a madness rush to try to pull things together and create something beautiful. The stage made me speechless ( 6 hours, 2 days of students helping put together a 1 foot high stage), the decorations was amazing (30 countries were displayed, flags were put in the ceiling) , the food was yummy, and the dancing/fashion show was breathtaking.

Dances shown:

Hip Hop

Irish

Jazz

Bollywood

I never knew bollywood was that hard because during the dance showcase, it looked so easy but you have to be very sharp with your movements. When I dance, I always have a confused look on my face and I tried to just look front and just smile the whole way through. Hopefully I didn't look like a crazy person.

Reggae Dance Hall

Boy Girl Dance

Faculty Dance

My favorite part of the show was the surprise faculty dance. It may seem awkward but this is a small community but like the MC said, they are our parents and they treat us like we are their children. They were dancing to 'Black Eye Peas- I Gotta Feeling'.
 ....and yes that is a smiley face on the butt and that is my patho professor doing a split.

I am really proud of my professors because the faculty dance was super cute and they worked super hard!!!!

Fashion Show:

East Asian

Desi

African

European and middle eastern

North and South America

As part of a surprise to the audience because my prom dress looks so much like a wedding one, we pretended to have a surprise proposal at the end of the show. It made me squeal a little.

I hope next year will even be better. =) I promise BL I will invite you. It's just I didn't think it would BE THIS AMAZING. It was seriously a mess the week before and it just all came together in the end!

I can officially save YOUR life.

After waking up at 6:50am this morning ( after sleeping at 4am!), I had to get up and out of my cozy bed and prepare myself for a long day of getting CPR certified.
The certification class is required for pharmacy students and it started from 8am until 2pm. We got to learn and practice on the adult and infant 'Manikin'.

Using the C-E method of holding the pump

 We went over 1-Rescuer on Adult/Infant,  1-2 Rescuer on adult using the ADE, and 1-2 Rescuer on infant.

There were techniques I learned like:
the Head-Tilt,
For adults: 2 Breaths-30 Compression cycle, 5 Cycles throughout.
For infants: 2 Breaths-30, (15 if there are 2 rescues).
Requirement of at least 100 Compressions per minute.
Compression on the center between the nipples on the breastbone. 
anddd...it's okay if you hear ribs crack. That means your doing it right!

Being a female, me and my friends were worried about CPR on a female because one of the rules is you have to clear clothing out of the way in order to do compressions easily as well as the ADE if needed. What we learned is modesty goes out the door when your trying to save someone's life so let's hope I don't pass out in order for someone to give me CPR.

ARE WE CLEAR?!? YOUR CLEAR. I'M CLEAR.

The instructors were really knowledgeable and I loved how they had their own stories to tell that related to the class. They showed videos as a tutorial and even though I was chuckling at how ridiculous the acting was, in the end you are learning to save someone's life.
 
The one that scared me the most was having a child or infant that you have to give CPR. Their heads are so tiny and it was very hard to use those air pumps on the infant's mouth because the face mask is so big.

 I am really glad I took this course because if a scenario like a choking or unresponsive individual comes my way, I would know what to do-especially if it involved an infant.

In the end- I passed the exam and got certified!
