Growing Sick of Those Pop Songs

Folks are really obsessed with a song called Call Me Maybe lately. When I was on the STLF community service tour, people played it everyday, sometimes a few times a day, on the bus, singing, shouting, and dancing to it. Several people asked me if I liked the song, I was like, huh ...

Today my group in PE class gave our final presentation. It was a success! But when we were doing the exercise, the music both my group and the other group chose to go along with is ... Call Me Maybe. Now it's just too much and it stuck in my head! NOOOOOOOUUUUUU!!

The other song my group chose was Sexy and I Know It. But I mean, those two are such bad songs, and they're so popular! There are a few other currently popular songs that I'm growing sick of, too.

I've been listening to a lot of poppy stuff such as Erasure, Alphaville, Hall & Oates, BT, Scissor Sisters, Aqua, and even Duran Duran sometimes. Pet Shop Boys is pop too. A lot of dance songs today are house or techno. I listen to house and techno too. But why I just can't stand those pop songs that people around me play all the time? AHHHHHHHH! Please, no more Call Me Maybe!

My Resting Heart Rate

My resting heart rate recently is 69 beats/min. The PE teacher said the average resting heart rate for many young women are in the 80's range, and told me gladly that I must have been working out aerobically frequently to have a heart rate at the low range. That was something I'm very happy about. Although I'm kind of heavy, my body is not as weak as I thought!

I found among the classes I'm taking this semester, I rather spend time on chemistry than doing environmental studies homework. I've taken Prof. J's environmental studies class, so basically what we're learning now are very similar to what I've learned. Yep, biodiversity in danger, overpopulation, energy and resource crisis, pollution, global climate change, natural reserves, recycling, environmental conservation in third world countries, and environmental justice, etc. There're few new problems but the same old problems since the Industrial Revolution. And you know, as we get more into the "solution" part, things can get very political. I still wonder if I'll do anything related to environmental conservation in the future ... maybe about protecting my favorite insects? Just hope there won't be too much politics that I need to involve.
