The Events that are: My Life

Things that go on in my life that cannot be catagorized somewhere else, sort of a catch-all

It’s About Time

I, Fergie, finally got a girlfriend. Her name is Sarah, she’s from Northglenn, Colorado, and lives right below me in Morgan Hall. I met her in Calc 1 at the begining of the year. Stay tuned for more information.

Broomfield and Back

Mom and Brian flew in this morning and they picked me up on their way to Broomfield. I hung out for a little while, volunteered at Kohl Elementry in Ryan’s class, and helped Wendy with some web site stuff. One of my cousin’s, Katie, got a cell phone, something I didn’t know about; so we traded numbers. And now I’m home and the hall is really quiet. We’re leaving at 9am tomorrow, so I’m planning on getting up at 7ish.

Staples in Seattle

Two things. First, Skype is awesome. I’ve written about it before, but I just have to say that it is very awesome. I talked with Jeff Staples and Peter Walchenbach for over an hour yesterday. Since then, Quinn McGinnis and Andrew Boyd have downloaded Skype, so should you. Second, while talking with Staples on Skype yesterday, I learned he’s going to be in Seattle next week too! How exciting. I think we’re (Quinn, Ben, Staples, and myself) are going to head up to Canada for a short day trip on Friday before Easter Sunday, if anyone else wants to join.

Healthier Than a Horse

The Student Development Center is putting on a Wellness Day today. I stopped by, had nice little chair massage and went and did all the tests. I knew I was in good shape, but I didn’t know I was this good:

  • 13.2% Body Fat – This puts me right on the line between Low and Average
  • 4.26 Liters Forced Expiratory Volume (amount of air exhaled in one second) – 99% of predicted
  • 5.35 Liters Forced Vital Capacity (lung capacity) – 107% of predicted
  • Phoria:
    • Me: 5.50 Exo – Pass
    • Normal: <4 Eco, < 6 Exo, < 1.0 Hyper
  • Fusional Ranges:
    • 21.12 BI Break (Normal: >= 10 diopters) – Pass
    • 18.37 BI Recovery (Normal: >= 6 diopters) – Pass
    • 40.41 BO Limit Without Break (Normal: >= 20 diopters) – Pass
    • 40.41 BO Recovery (Normal: >= 16 diopters) – Pass
  • Accommodative Facility
    • Right Correct: 100.00% (Normal: >= 80%) – Pass
    • Left Correct: 97.92% (Normal: >= 80%) – Pass
    • Average Cycles/Minute: 22.36 (Normal: 12 Cycles/Minute) – Pass
  • Blood Pressure: 100/54

I do have over-pronated (flat) feet, my lower back/hips have an anterior roll (they’re rolled to far forward), and my chest muscles overpower my back muscles. The two first things I listed are probably contributing to the muscles in my lower back being tight all the time, the Doc said, which they are. He recomended getting a set of insoles at Target or something to help with that. I’ll try it. But other then that, I’m in really really good, shape, especially for being a college student.
