October 1‚ 2010 When we did yoga on Thursday during class time‚ it was so much fun. I had never done yoga before and I thought it was going to be hard‚ but it actually came very easy to me. It worked out every core in my body‚ especially in the abdominal area. I had imagined before I did yoga that I was going to be out of breathe a lot‚ but then again I didn’t really know what yoga consisted of.

However‚ abstract entities are impossible to avoid for some scientific contexts. The theory of meaning and truth is the problem
