Okay...so I have to say it like everyone else..I CANNOT BELIEVE WE ARE AT WEEK 12 ALREADY! ha! This is so crazy to me! Not only have I learned about the environment in this class but I have also learned a lot about myself! I have also really enjoyed the people in this class and really am going to be sad when its over....!(not Jk) There is so much more that I want to learn about the environment and I think that I can really use the skills that I learned in this course beyond this class! I have also learned that the environment is not just thinking about the trees and air around us...it is so much more! There are many links to health and environment too!
During Weeks 11 and 12 we actually did a lot. We got to view the film "Unnatural Causes," which is a documentary series broadcasted by PBS. We watched the segment called "In Sickness and in Wealth."This documentary shows that there is much more to our environment then bad habits, health care and unlucky genes. This was one of my favorite documentaries because it was very interesting to how much money actually takes over our environment. Something else that we did which was very interesting is we all picked a goal from Healthy People 2010 and did some research pertaining to the objectives and progress of that certain goal. The goal that I chose is to improve health, fitness, and quality of life through daily physical activity. I am especially interested in fitness and nutritional health so this was a perfect fit for me. There is so much that ties the environment and fitness and nutrition together.
There is so much that I have learned over the past couple weeks that it would take a book to write. I really enjoy this class and it makes me want 12:00 to come everyday!(looking forward to class is something new for me!) I cant wait for these next few weeks and will be sad when this class is over...a little! ahah HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT WEEKEND:)

ReplyDeleteGood job not procrastinating on your review! haha jk. I've definitely learned a lot from this class as well, and it has taught me a lot that I can use in the future. I think it will be weird when this class and methods isn't our lives anymore.. haha. but don't worry.. when this semester is over, we can still go out for huge margaritas all the time :)

ReplyDeleteWhat an emotional blog post that was! I feel like everyone's reflections this week is about how much they are liking the class! Kathy made a comment on her post that after Dr. V. came back from AAPEHRD everyone had good vibes and wanted to get a move on! I think she is right, we were all so motivated in week 11 and 12...
See you tomorrow!! --S

I think evenyone is in so deep if we dont keep pushing each other we'd be in trouble;) thank goodness for all of our great classmates!:)
ReplyDeleteHey Katie!
ReplyDeleteThat's so awesome that you love this class so much. Have you considered branching off to a field in environmental health? I think that'd be a perfect fit for you judging by your post =D I like the goal you chose for the advocacy project because I chose that one as well! At first, I was skeptical because I didn't think it really related to the environment but the more I researched and thought about it, the more I found it related directly to the environment! Great post Katie =)
Words every educator loves to hear...
ReplyDelete"I think that I can really use the skills that I learned in this course beyond this class!"
"I really enjoy this class and it makes me want to come everyday!"
That means so much, Katie! I'm glad you are enjoying the class as much as I am!

ReplyDeleteAs someone that is leaving this school very soon it really does make me sad a little to leave our little family that we have. I think I will still keep blogging just to see if anyone replies to it. Abbey and I were talking about it since we will be interning and it would be a good way to keep in touch and just to see what we are all up to as well. Blogger was such a good idea for the class and I hope some of us will keep on blogging!!
