Log

paced life, and having premade food at my fingertips at all times makes it easy to eat on the go. People in developing countries would probably be revolted by the way I eat/waste food, and on the decisions I make when buying food. After doing a food log for a week…

During the four week fitness log I was able to achieve most of my goals. The first goal I achieved was being able to lift 115 lbs on the leg extension. I accomplished this goal within the first two weeks. By the end of week three, I slowly made my way to 10 reps of 115 lbs constantly. I believe that doing squats, wall-sit, and other leg workouts increased my ability to achieve the goal. I was unable to achieve my second goal because I set my standards too high. I was only able to run 3-6 minutes…

Daily Log: Monday: On Monday, Maggie was unable to come into the lab today as she was sick, so Cole continued to work on the research plan. He edited the methods section, adding paragraphs on RNA isolation and miRNA preparation for PCR. During our lab lunch meeting, Dr. Ericson and Cole discussed a study he found that looked at Bartonella in histiocytomas, skin tumors made of malignant dendritic cells. In this study, they used a confocal microscope and found Bartonella in histiocytomas of dogs…

Creating a literature log was quite intimidating for me. I had difficulty choosing the poem, since many literature pieces on the list appealed to me. After choosing to work on the sonnet, which immediately connected me to the HOTS of comparing and contrasting, the work process went pretty smoothly. Since a poem by Shakespeare is relatively difficult to understand, due to the unique language it is written in, I paid close of attention to the basic understanding part of the log. It was challenging…

Much to my surprise, keeping the time log was quite difficult. I tried to fill as many slots that I could in the morning (when I knew I had something for sure planned), but that was not many. It was just too difficult to drop what I was doing and record it (even though it only took at second). What it almost always boiled down to was me racking my brain at the end of the day to figure out what I had down and when I had done it. It was difficult for me to see any distinct patterns because every…

that the Bandar-log act like bullies, talk like bullies, and treat other people like bullies. The Bandar-log laugh at everything and have no respect for anyone or anything. The monkey people fight with each other, they also talk bad about others and make others look bad. The way the Bandar-log speak make them sound like bullies. On page 42 The monkey people sound arrogant when Kipling says “ there is no one in the jungle so wise and clever and strong and gentle as the bandar log.” They…

Prior to encountering Columbus’s Log I had blindly accepted Columbus as an “inspired hero who brought civilization and Christianity to the New World” (2). Yet, after reading and analyzing the introduction and Columbus’s tenth log, I learned more facts regarding the “catastrophic impact” Columbus’s revolutionary discovery had for indigenous people (2). I connected my naïve perception to a statement made by Linda Smith in Decolonizing Methodologies. She states, “It galls us that Western…

One of the main benefits of carbohydrate loading is the increase it causes in muscle glycogen levels. Research shows that if we can boost our glycogen levels above normal we can improve performance in athletic performance that last longer than sixty minutes. Muscle glycogen availability during high intensity exercise can influence work output, distance covered and sprinting frequency, especially in the later stages of exercise. Glycogen provides a rapidly readily available substrate for energy…

look forward to a slice of yule log during the holidays? This log shaped cake is a real treat and can be taken in so many directions. You can do red velvet cake, vanilla, strawberry but chocolate is always popular. Rather than plain chocolate, let’s give it depth with some coffee. A mocha yule log is a fun play on the traditional version. Every bite is so rich and decadent. Aside from making sure it tastes good, yule logs are about presentation. It should look like a log and when you slice into…

In the forty-eight hours that I filed out the time log. I realized many things. One of them being that homework consumes more time than I imagined it would. In High School I barely had any homework but here, most of my time is spent doing homework. Another thing that was brought to my attention through this assignment of the time log is that I do not spend enough time doing my OBU Connections course, and that is a reflection in my quiz scores. Showing that the amount of time I spend reading and…
