Was supposed to help Dr. Moffat with some… who knows at 10, showed up a lil late, and apparently he still wasnt there. So I helped out in the exercise phys lab with some VO2max tests. I think I shocked Dr. Wilkins with my VO2max score that I did in April. A student asked her what the highest she had seen on a test. She replied “lower 60’s”, and I told her that I had 67, and that our lab had a lady in her 60’s the week before I did mine that had a low 70’s. She seemed like all that was absurd, like lance armstrong scores! haha But I guess they do more work with children and disabled folks possibly, not totally sure on that. Whereas our prof’s seem more tilted towards the older population and elite athletes. Plus, I dont think there were any athletes in their exercise physiology class today. And besides, screw Lance Armstrongs VO2max, I want his lactic threshold, or that of some xc skiier!
One thing I didnt like, is there stop protocols, they said they knew them, but I watched someones RER go up to 1.3, as in W…T…F! They just went until they pretty much fell, but they did have spotters. They also started them out walking for a few stages, but theyre effin college students, so they had a jacked up elevation grade, but they werent even going that fast. Who knows, they were considerably close to the same length of tests that I’ve witnessed, and they have ecg’s here, which is pretty cool, cause I havent had a class in that yet.
Then I went to go help Dr. Moffat. He wasnt there, but Allison was, so I helped her until, good god, like almost 6! Doing mundane stuff like calling bout donations and whatnot, and just mindless busy work. But she’s pretty cool and I guess I have a friend here now, considering I just think of my roommates as just that. (WHO MENTION DISNEYLAND AND THEN DONT FUCKIN TAKE ME THERE, BITCHES!!!!)
…and shit, I just noticed I missed the deadline for the surfing trip from the rec center this weekend in San Diego. boo.
