Logging Off

This whole expierence has been a great one. I really want to thank everyone for there support and I hope I can continue this expierence in my next level of education. The reason I titled this blog logging off, is because whenever I use the computer I have to log on and when I leave I must logg off. This is similar to me working in the library. When I started the job I was logging on and now that the job is over I'm logging off.....................I thankyou and god bless.

Chi-Town

It was fun visiting Chicago and enjoying the company of the other students. The one thing that through me off was when we visited the Museum of Science. I thought we were going to get a tour of the museum, but we went to the library instead at the top of the building. It was still fun though.

I'm Okay


Monday, after work I was involved in a car accident and let me say it was crazy. Kendra was with me and we both were a little shocked at what happened. Dont' worry it wasn't my fault, someone hit me from the back. I have a 1989 Jeep Wrangler, which it is pretty old, but it's my girl. I call my car "Midnight". Most people I know talk about my car because it's old, but I don't care it saved Kendra and I life. If I had a new car it may have turned out to be a worser accident. The other car involved hood was folded like "transformers", that was how bad it was. My back bumper was bent some, but I was okay with it. I thank God that know one involved was hurt and appreciate everyone at work for there concern.

Life

I titled this post "life" because there were some things that have happened to me in the past month that have been learning expierences. I were glad they happened, because I needed them to happen to make me stronger. The trip to Valpo was interesting and I'm looking foward to visting the "Chi".

Valpo

It's Friday and I have to conquer a new library which is in Valpo. I have been to Valpo, but only for track meets or a basketball game. It is going to be fun, but on the way there I have to take a nap, so I can have some energy so every-one can meet my alter-ego "Kobe".

Alzheimer's drug based on Purdue-designed inhibitor begins clinical trials
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -
Xiaoming Xu (l) and Arun Ghosh (r)Download photo caption below
A drug based on the design of a Purdue University researcher to treat Alzheimer's disease began the first phase of human clinical trials this week.
"Millions of people suffer from this devastating disease and treatment options are very limited," said Arun Ghosh, the Purdue professor who led the creation of the treatment molecule. "Current drugs manage the symptoms, but this could be the first disease-modifying therapy. It may be able to prevent and reverse the disease."

This book I found on the lower-level was interesting because it gives an insight on Alzheimer's disease in the eyes of those being diagnosed. It tells the story of a male who gives account of his slow transformation and deterioration. It is really a well-detailed story for someone to know what is going on in someone's life.

Alzheimer's Disease

Over the course of this year, I have been investigating on Alzheimer's Disease and I think that it is very useful for people to recognize it. Alzheimer's Disease is a progressive syndrome that effects the brain in memory loss. The obvious stage is memory loss, but the disease can also affect the behavior of an individual. It affects the older generation in the mid 60's begins the first stages.

Korey @ Work


Felicia

I met this great woman today named Felicia at work. When I saw her today I instantly knew we were going to hit it off. She was funny, real, and helpful. I even watched her movie on youtube, which was funny as well. I hope I can spend more time with her soon and go on a "date" with her too.

Kobe

One reason I title my blog Kobe is because he is one of my favorite basketball players and around school everyone calls me "Kobe". That is just an insight on way my blog title is that. Yesterday when my mentor Cheri Smith came in she wanted to know about me and the topic I was going to study. I chose Alzhiemer's Disease because it is a rising disease that know one knows about. It is killing the older generation, without them knowing what hit them. Some people believe that it is part of old age, but it is not. I would boarden this subject by explaing how it effects all people and shorten it by saying how the diesease effects the African American community. Today Cheri and I are going on a "date" at 1:00 so we can know each other a little better. Maybe she likes Kobe too.
