This is the blister I got from last week's 10 mile run. It's deflated now though, so don't worry =] I didn't pop it or anything. I'm not supposed to!
7:00 AM , saturday. Doing homework right now.. Today is going to be a very long day! 12 mile training run before the real half marathon next week! This week will be a FLAT course, because that's what the actual course is like =] I'm so stoked!
Well, this week has been quite wonderful.
We don't have school next Friday February 5 so I'm quite excited.
Currently, I'm listening& watching Mariah Carey on YouTube.
I really really miss Mariah Carey's old music.

HELLO THERE! It has been nonstop raining lately!
My uggs are ruined and stained!

I was going to wear my rainboots today, but when I left my house, it was clear and not raining. Once I hopped into the car, it started pouring! =[

Today was career day, so we had shortened periods . thirty seven minute periods!
The Chiropractor was AMAZING and inspiring.

He was a nutritionist also!
He treats professional athletes from very famous teams, and even the cheerleaders.
I look forward to becoming something like him, but I need to do well in chemistry and biology! So I must study my butt of tonight for the test tomorrow...

Here is Dr Simon Yu's office- the dude that came to our sschool today! he is truly an inspiration.

YAY! three day weekend.
right now, it's 6:50 am. leaving for prime time in an hour, then going to my volunteering job at the hospital! yay. then coming home at 1 , prime time again? then study study study up for the new semester.

yesterday, i ran the golden gate bridge! well, sports basement to the golden gate bridge was 8 miles. (it was for the Kaiser Permanente half marathon training). We got off into groups of three. You could choose a group whether you wanted to run 6.6. miles, 8 miles, or 10 miles. I chose 8 miles. It wasn't TOO Bad. , but i'm super sore today. I should've stretched afterwards. Probably going for 12 next week to get me prepared for the actual half marathon coming up on FEBRUARY SEVENTH! ah i'm pumped! so i got a lot of running gear at sportsbasement afterwards, and it felt so good to eat some bagels and OJ in my system! after that, we headed to chinatown, then downtown . then dinner at kitaro on geary<333\



here's the link to the half marathon i'm running on february 7th!

What is "Like Dissolves Like"?
"Like dissolves like" is an expression used by chemists to remember how some solvents work. It refers to "polar" and "nonpolar" solvents and solutes.
For example, water is polar, and oil is non polar. Water will not dissolve oil, because water(H20) is polar. Salt (NaCl) is polar. Like dissolves like so polar dissolves polar, meaning water dissolves salt.
