Week 16

This week was the end of the semester for COM classes. I turned in my Nature vs. Nurture paper to my psychology teacher, along with other missing assignments. At body conditioning I turned in a 3 page questionaire about muscles, bones, nutrition, health, and my goals. I am glad this semester's over. I learned a lot in my conditioning class, but I was not fond of the psychology class. Pathways is a good program because it helps you with college and begininng to see what you would like to study, getting an early start instead of staying at San Andreas all the time.My plans for next semester are two dance classes, hip hop and modern, as well as an american sign language class. I'm excited for the semester to start.

Week 15 12/7/12

This week in my body conditioning for dance technique class, I learned about "fuzz" in your body. Like, when you don't stretch after you work out, over time "fuzz" comes to your nerves and ligaments. You need to melt it away by stretching it out or else its going to hurt longer. Muscle fascia is a fibrous connective tissue that is present throughout the entire body and not just the muscles. The main types of fascia are the superficial ones, which are located on the skin; deep fascia which is associated with muscles, bones, nerves, and blood vesels.; and visceral which is inside the internal organs.For example, muscle fascia holds the muscles together to keep it in the correct place. It also seperates the muscles so they can work independently of each other. It provides a lubricated surface so that the muscles can move smoothly against each other. I had my Nutcracker performance this past weekend, and it went well. The class came to see it on the first night, there were a few hiccups but the next shows were good.We are performing Swan Lake in the spring time. For psychology, we have a final paper due on nature vs. nurture. I look forward to psychology ending because the teacher was a ditz.
