  1. -blows dust off thread- ah yes, an old relic. But yeah, I still want this happening.
  2. Homecoming is on saturday eeyy I don't know how it'll be though. The theme is space this year so that makes me happy.
  3. We haven't covered vectors yet, so let's leave that out as I don't want to get more confused (I do understand their concept because freshmen engineering turned into a physics class) but I don't remember fully how to do them. So draw pictures, write down knowns, see what you can find? I'm also confused on when speed/velocity average is supposed to be weighted. We covered that, and my teacher doesn't make any sense and I get confused on when to do the weighted equation or not.
  4. My ear is swollen For some unknown reason
  5. Wow, thanks guys! Eep, answers aren't too much help to me, because the teacher actually puts up the answer key. I'm not sure if its calc based but I'm assuming not, as I'm in precal this year too. Its mostly the concepts that are tripping me up, when to use what equation. After that, its simple algebra that I can accomplish very easily. My teacher explains it poorly and I just end up confused.
  6. a quality blog
  7. Suggested in the bad day thread, moving all my physics woes here. The next test is in a few days and I have no idea how to do even the basic concepts. This has to do with speed, velocity, acceleration, etc, graphs based on them, and word problems. I'm having trouble even with what was taught on day one. I hate. Anyway. Examples of the simple problems I should know how to do but don't: -- Lance Armstrong decides to go for a bike ride. He starts at a speed of 10 m/s, but then decides to go downhill. Downhill he speeds up at a constant rate. His overall descent is 150m and takes him 10s. ------- How fast is he going at the end? ------- By what amount did his velocity increase every second? -- You hike 2/3 up a mountain at a speed of 3mi/hr and run the final third at 6mi/hr. Average speed? -- a horse moves away from its trainer in a straight line, 116m away in 14s. It turns and gallops halfway back in 4.8s. Calculate average speed, and average velocity, away is positive. Some more complex things: -- A falling stone takes .28s to travel past a window 2.2 m tall. From what height above the top of the window did it fall? I'll put more up later, my hand hurts but yeah. I'm so confused.
  8. I'm so tired, don't want to do anything, and my mom is forcing me into homework. Thanks mom. I don't know how to do it but thanks anyway.
  9. That was a nasty football game. Like, within the first quarter a player from the other team was injured and was down for fifteen minutes, which is a very long time for someone to be down. They had to take him out in an ambulance; he broke both bones in his lower leg. But then our players decide that the fifteen minutes is a great time to socialize and plan! Which is, by the way, heavily frowned upon in football. If someone is down you don't stand and try not to talk, at least as far as band goes. But that makes the other team mad, and effectively ended in about a dozen other, smaller injuries from both teams, the bands taunting each other, the football players taunting each other and being completely unsportsmanlike. And the student section.. is always gross so nothing changes there :/ But yeah, and to add on one of the drum majors fell off the podium and hurt her hip and had to be taken out. Wow. Such fun. 10/10
  10. but he isn't dead! Shia surprise!
  11. Haven't updated this in a while, so here goes. I think that's all the worthwhile stuff.
  12. Status Updates: I hope to finish at least one of these this weekend. I've been neglecting this thread for commissionss oop. If you wish to view my full status, here is a link to my commissions page.
  13. 100+ trumpetsSave me
  14. exterminate the piccolos
  15. This thread is too serious now
  16. I honestly don't like saying it. I find it creepy. Besides, I don't like this state or country, I want to move, at least out of the south. Don't know where I'll go just.. away. Maybe into Canada. If I can find a job in my field. But yeah unless things get better soon I'm going far far away.
  17. There's a wasp now under my bed My brother and I tried to flush it out with canned air and he accidentally grabbed glass cleaner air which could be toxic I'm now probably sitting in harmful fumes. I'm generally a good person. I don't know what I did to deserve this.
  18. -screams with despite not fully understanding-
  19. Yeah, they do acknowledge that to an extent and say "oh we never had to do this as a kid!" But then when its hard I'm "not trying hard enough." "You don't stay up until one so you're not working hard!" Um yeah the high schoolers who do stay up until one do that bc they wasted the afternoon and I mean I can do that if you want me to.
  20. Well, I'm crying again. I came home and my mom yelled at me about grades. I just try to bear it because I know if it was my dad it would be soo much worse.
  21. yes.Honestly it terrifies me I don't do it. I've gotten in trouble a few times for not saying it.
  22. Well I tried to make up with my other group of internet friends and it went horribly, so its not even worth trying anymore. I'm so tired. I posted in their thread saying that I was sorry for everything and they went to another thread. And the one person that did reply was almost sarcastic about it. Maybe I'm reading too much into this I'm just so tired of this issue and nobody is working with me to resolve it.
  23. its.Velocity over time. it just happens man
  24. Love you all <3 Oh no there's also a wasp in my room and i tried to swat at it and it flew away and i have no idea where it is now light burn me blood and bloody ashes
