    My stomach had become settled. In reflection of the senses, what we chose to input into our body has a great deal of effect on us. Not only do we sense bloating, queasiness and fullness in our digestion pathway, but also the food we intake has a motion or vibration to it. The way that our body processes different foods can be felt. Different absorptions cause different sensations as well.…

    My shirt collar felt uncomfortably hot along with my cheeks that flushed vividly. On multiple occasions I rubbed the back of my neck to attempt to rub away the growing discomfort that settled within the pit of my gut to no avail. When it was my turn, I grabbed as little food as possible to make a quick escape from the line. I darted over to the table to pick most inconspicuous spot that I could to conceal myself. I ate in small bites, my thighs pushed tightly together with my ankles wrapped around each other.…

    I have learned a lot about nutrition so far over the course of this semester. This diet analysis project was probably the thing that I have least looked forward to having to complete. I know my diet is poor, I figured I ate too many bad foods, but I didn 't expect it to be lacking essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in so many different areas. It 's truly amazing to see foods I thought were "complete" and "good" for me, aren 't really, and may actually hinder me in the quest for a truly healthy diet.…

    I had a really healing time with views from a room on the second floor, such as an open-air bath, Sagami Bay and the stars. What slightly disappointed me was that at the moment I entered the room, it smelled like cigarettes and the dinner was not sufficient for me. It would be great if there were non-smoking rooms. It was a very nice place.…

    For the majority of the years before high school, I never really had an art class. It was quite sad since art and music were what I had looked forward to at the age of five. It wasn't until the fifth grade, I discovered my love for art. Although I wasn't taught any basics on how to do art, up until high school, I would still try and draw characters I loved, like Pokémon or Nintendo characters. I remember asking my mom to buy me computer paper just so I could draw Pokemon characters clearer because I didn't know what a sketchbook was until middle school.…

    I wanted to take this class for multiple reasons, the first being, I find addiction/substance disorders very fascinating, and second, I suffer from what I consider my own addiction. I don’t drink, use drugs, or gamble. However I have suffered from binge eating for as long as I can remember. I know that food disorders are often a controversial topic because of how they can affect the brain and how they are overcome. However, I think of addiction as a filler for emotional satisfaction.…
