Heart Rate Monitors

The other day in Tech class we had the opportunity to work with the heart rate monitors. This was my first time working with them and I don't know if I was using it right because I would get some crazy numbers. It seemed to work about half the time and the other half was reading really high numbers in the 200's. I think that heart rate monitors are a great way to assess students effort in class, and even though I didn't have such a great experience with them I have still heard a lot of positive things about them.

Finals

Finals week is coming very quick and this is definetely the worst time of the year. There is enough work going on already now i have to worry about taking tests that will either make or break my grades. I think that having a "finals week" is crazy. I think that it would be a better idea to spread the tests throughout the last three weeks of the semester. There is not enough time to prepare for all of the tests that are coming.

Mini Convention

Yesterday was the mini convention. I had to attend for a couple of classes and also volunteered to help with the food preperation. The presentations that i had the chance to attend were very interesting and informative. I am glad I had the chance to see attend and feel that i did learn useful information. The presenters were good, and i was very surprised ad impressed with the quality of the convention.

Chad Johnson

The latest news in the sports world is about Chad Johnsons request for a trade asap. This has been a request from him for some time now, and until now has been ignored. He seemed pretty content on being traded by the draft which is next weekend. I would like to see him go to the steelers due to his talent, however i dont know how it would affect the team chemistry. This will most likely never happen anyway.

Pen's

The penguins have now won their first two playoff games. This is great considerig the playoffs did not go so well last year. I hope that they can continue playing as well as they have. The last game was very close and cam down to the end. They pulled through and left with the win. Now that everyone is back and healthy i don't see them having trouble the rest of this series. I am excited to watch them play and hope that they can win it all this year.

Pirates

The Pirates are having a good start to the season. I have always enjoyed watching their games, but now i hope that more people will do the same since they have won some games. I have really been surprised by the way some of our team is playing. I hope that they can continue playing well, and am excited to get a chance to go to some games.

NCAA Tournament- Davidson

I feel that Davidson was this years surprise team. They almost made it to the elite 8 and only lost to Kansas by two. Stephen Curry was the leader of the very talented Davidson team. He avaeraged over thirty points the first three rounds of the tournament. I always like to see players from smaller schools such as Davidson have breakout games and really establish a name for themselves such as Curry did. It was fun getting a chance to watch him play, and wish that Davidson could have beat Kansas and made it further in the tournament.
