Here it goes; I can’t believe that it’s already over halfway through October, the semester is chugging along. I’m finished with all my midterms but one, and they have gone very well so far. I even got the “great job” message from the testing center TV screen when it gave me my test grade for my cognitive development class. The last test I have to take for a while is for my history of math class; we have to prove that pi is constant for all circles, and also prove the Pythagorean Theorem. My other classes are going well, in my swimming class we just learned how to do flip turns, which is a way to quickly burn your nose and give yourself a head ache if you don’t constantly blow water out of your nose while you are flipping.
In other news, I saw “Lady in the Water” in the illustrious Varsity Theater on Friday night; it is a very strange movie, my favorite guy was the one who was only exercising one half of his body, and the Asian mother and daughter was funny also. And oh yeah, there are evil dogs and monkeys and giant birds and sea nymphs, and something about destiny… or was it density… hmmmm… I also recently bought “The Chronicles of Narnia” all in one volume, and just finished “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” and have started on “Prince Caspian.”
In my infant development class, my professor showed us some thing that I thought was worth passing along. Go to www.babyplus.com and check it out. There you can pay $150.00 to buy a speaker that a pregnant woman can wear on her belly to play sounds to her unborn child. These sounds are pulses that are not unlike the sounds that the baby hears in the womb from heartbeats and respiratory sounds. And here’s the funny part, these sounds not only make your baby more intelligent, but they will let you teach your baby words, and they baby can respond by kicking back on the mother’s abdomen. (Check out the link on the bottom called “the Science”) This is clearly a breakthrough in pediatrics, and I wonder why modern scientists have not accepted this to make all babies smarter.
