Week 1

Quiz 1

What attracts me to Chinese Medicine?
What initially attracted me to chinese medicine was the herbs. They've gotten me through some hard times. Now that I'm involved with TCM, I feel attracted to many different aspects. Being such a holistic medicine, I feel it is easy to understand and easy to be creative with.

What do I honestly think of Physics, really?
I've never taken a physics course, so I don't know what to think of it. I've heard horrible things and great things. But honestly, I love math and even though I know there won't be much of that involved in this class, I have always wanted to take a Physics course and I truly think I will enjoy it.

Now that I think about it, have I ever experienced time "slowing down" ?
Just slightly. I've been in very minor car accidents where time seemed to feel a little more "different" than it normally does. And of course, when I'm somewhere I really don't want to be, the clocks seem to almost stop because they are going so slow.


Class Reflections

The first class is always inspiring. Ahh.. it brings back good memories of Chemistry. Well, our group focused a lot of dicussion time on P-time and M-time. We couldn't quite figure out if that's the way it really is in the East.. Do classes really end when (and only when) the discussion has run it's course? It seems like the logical way to run a classroom. Except, being brought up in a Western-time world, I would have a hard time adapting. I value punctuality. I think having a standardized time system is smart in the sense that the whole world communicates with each other. It never made much sense until now.
