My name is Lina Almaouie and I am currently in my 4th year at the University of Alberta. I am working towards a degree in Nutrition and Food Science as my major and human ecology as my minor. Hopefully, I will be graduating next year which is very exciting.
My first year was a struggle, since I was unsure what I wanted to major in. After taking a whole bunch of courses, I found myself very interested in Nutrition and Food Science. I have always had a habit of reading labels and wondering why ingredients were added in certain foods, or what is the chemical structure or component of a certain ingredient. These habits made me enthusiastic to learn more about this field. My after graduation plan is to get into Nutrition and Food Science masters degree in order to learn more about this topic.
Ales 204 has opened my eyes to a whole new world of communication I did not know about. We can use technology for much more than just shopping online and chatting with friends. We can use it to better our education and communicate with other people in our field. After learning about blogs and twitter, I have found many blogs that are related to nutrition and can increase my knowledge. For example, http://nutritionblognetwork.com/ is one of the blogs that I found useful with a lot of interesting information. I really hope that I can keep my blog as interesting and full of information that will interest my followers. Also, by following fellow student's blog has helped me learn more about my classmates and their domain. For example, Lynda Forsyth blog is very interesting and I would love to learn more about her degree.
