Maybe different format? After rereading both books several times, I decided to try out the audiobooks. They require you to focus more in order to catch the information and I find it nice for moments where you can't pick up the book but still want the story.

Shallan gaining the knowledge that Kaladin killed her brother will hopefully end any idea of them getting together. Im a sucker for a good lovr story but do not want Shallan and Kaladin to ever be together. Shallan and Adolin need to be together in my opinion.  I want Shallan to be the only one Adolin tell of what he did at the end of WOR

I really don't mind who shallan ends up with, I think Brandon could make either relationship work. I just want Kaladin to end up with someone, I mean give him a break, he's suffered through enough trauma, don't add heartbreak onto the pile.

Only a few theories right now,  will think of some more later

1. The death of Adolin, only reason behind it is that I remembered that Brandon was originally going to kill him off but decided not to in order to help develop Dalinar. I don't think it's likely but the possibility of his death is still stuck in my head. I feel like with the death of Sadeas, it would be the best point for work out a death for him too.

2. Kaladin Attempts to bring all the survivors of hearthstone to Kholinar and ends up in the midst of the rebellion.

3. Pattern and Syl interaction? I'm surprised so few people have mentioned the two Spren, they're suppose to hate each other, I wonder how they'll react to each other.

4. Shallan figures out Kaladin killed her brother; this is bound to happen at some point, whether it's this novel or the next one.

The book releases the day before my birthday so I plan on celebrating with hours upon hours of oathbringer 

-- 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? 15m/s

150/10=15
------- By what amount did his velocity increase every second? .5m/s he sped up 5m/s in 10s, thats half a meter per second.

 

-- You hike 2/3 up a mountain at a speed of 3mi/hr and run the final third at 6mi/hr. Average speed?

You first divided the hike into thirds

You hike 1/3 at 3 mph, you hike 1/3 at 3 mph, you hike 1/3 at 5 mph.

3+3+6=12

12/3=4

This is simply knowing what to divided

 

-- 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.

116/2=58

116+58=174

first average speed is 8.29(rounded)

second average speed is 12.08(rounded)

You once again divide into three parts, 1/3 at 8.29, 1/3 at 8.29, 1/3 at 12.08

2(8.29)+12.08=28.66

28.66/3=9.55(rounded)

9.55s to run 58m

6.07 m/s

I think I may be wrong, I rounded a lot.

 

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?

Too. Much. Homework. Give me a break already, I've been trying not to procrastinate, but it's hard with eight classes worth of homework that is causing you to fall over backward. Grr.

And I am coming down with a cold because the stress is wearing down my immune system.

I have the same problem,

I'm only two weeks into HS and HW is already stacking up. I think I'm just going to stop doing HW for one class since its only worth 5%

Anyone watched the Heroes Reborn trailers and thought 'That sounds like Steelheart'?

No but I can't wait to watch the show. I loved season 1, too bad they ended it there.

Thought I might post something to cheer you guys up.

Granted. You immediately develop a life threatening allergy to Shardplate and Shardblades. Your throat swells shut if you come within six feet of the material, which means that you can no longer fight alongside the nobility. You are banished to the slave quarters, where you are put on latrine duty, because this is the only place that a knight in full Shardplate would never come near.

Your bane for not requesting a boon is to forever eat chull dung chaotas(think I spelled that wrong, sorry.). I wish for an intelligent Spren that could do my HW.

Completely random but Google quokka

I have never liked bagels but I'm not too big of a fan of donuts, or anything sweet for that matter. I swear I have the taste buds of a 90 year old.(I'm a teen)

Oh, you can emigrate to another country. But you still have to pay US federal income tax on whatever you make in that other country. It's pretty rough, really.

This was the thing I was unsure about, I thought I remembered a few stories about how it sucks to be dual citizens of both Canada and the U.S. Because of taxes. This is also why some people drop their American citizenship and I'm pretty sure why the fee to renounce your citizenship is currently so high.

I'm pretty sure that you have to pay taxes to both Canada and the U.S. If you decide to get Canadian citizenship and keep your American citizenship. (I could be wrong) you also have to pay a hefty fee to renounce American citizenship(450-2350 USD)

Edit: actually never, you don't have to pay double taxes.

Take up a random Shard, because then I at least have a chance of getting something good. And if I get something crappy like Odium or Ruin or something, I can just lock myself away in a couple thousand years before I change too much.

Would you rather have to use a chull as your only vehicle for the rest of your life, or have your hand Lashed to a fence post forever?

I would take the chull, I would be like "Hey girl, wanna get a ride on my chull?"(just joking). Would you rather be a awakened god from warbreaker or herald from SA

You know you're a Sanderfan when you play Werewolves and you are the Spellcaster, but you keep calling it the Soulcaster. No joke.

And a bonus: the character on the card had red hair and blue eyes, like Shallan.

You know you are a Sanderfan when you instantly read spellcaster as soulcaster before actually realizing its spellcaster.

I learned today that my full backpack weighs enough that it turns on the "Please put your seatbelt on" beeper when I put in the passenger seat.

My friend told me that if your backpack weighs more than 10% of your body weight you might develope back problems over a long period of time. Sorry for double post, phone won't let me edit quote.

Didn't you say that most libraries wouldn't accept you because you weren't as qualified? The only way to get a better job is to start from the bottom, it may be hard to hear but if you want to get far far away you might have to accept doing something's you don't like.

With that said, if the result is Allomancy I might be willing to except the trauma...

Whoops, I meant wouldn't.

My English teacher has things all around his room in relation to the second World War. It is especially painful for me, at this time, because I went to the Dachau concentration camp over the summer, and it was very emotionally overwhelming. I can't even talk about it, and it was extremely hard for me to get over thinking about it. It took hours. Luckily, that is not the only thing I did over the summer.

Why'd you go? Also why not talk to the teacher about it or get transferred?

*sigh* My laptop broke today, I was downloading a mod for a game but the site used by the mods was apparently filled with fake download links. Now it's running like crap and has been heavily infected.

When you are disappointed to find out that the sign that you thought read "Welcome! We Snap customers!" actually reads "We Welcome SNAP customers"

I would actually be quite happy, snapping is an emotional/physical trauma

Ah yes

I've seen it so many times. One of the best disney movies, honestly.

I've never heard of it, then again I'm not really a big fan of movies in general.

Do you ever feel like you care too much about things? Things other people just seem to be able to take in stride or shrug off? Because I've been feeling like that lately, big-time.

A while ago I said something stupid. Something I nearly instantly regretted. Someone told me, candidly and eloquently, that it was a very stupid thing to say, and even though it was eloquent and was probably not meant to be unkind or anything, I felt like the most horrible creature to ever walk upon the face of this earth. A bit before that, I did something dumb, something I instantly thought was probably not a good idea, and not much later I was told it was, in fact, a very stupid thing to do. In fact, it was offensive. I apologized my face numb, but I can't get over it, and even though I tell myself no one really noticed or thought much of it I can't stop feeling awful about it. And then today someone told me basically that they thought it hadn't been the most intelligent idea- she's a wonderful person, lovely person, and she wasn't meaning to make me feel like this but it confirmed to me that yes, in fact, people did notice this stupid thing. And I feel like some horrible person for even thinking about doing it- and saying that other thing- in the first place.

And on top of that I have high school and I'm 99% sure I'll be moving before winter and I'm overwhelmed with... everything.

You mean that feeling when you suddenly remember a moment in your life that you regret and wish could go back and change, even if the other person had already forgotten but you still feel a need to make up for it? I get that all the time.

I believe in psychic connections now.

Every time I start to walk away from my desk to accomplish a task, the phone rings. Or a customer walks in. I wanted to change the paper roll in the credit card machine, so naturally that was when a customer called and had a dozen questions for me to answer. Every time I need to use my computer, the tech guy sneaks in, opens a window, and mutters "Interesting....very interesting" for three minutes. They know I have things to do. And they are determined I not do them.

Oh don't worry, that's normal. It feels like that every time I work for my parents. I just think about sitting when there is absolutely no one there and the second I begin to lean down, the door opens. This goes on for like a dozen times before a large rush comes. It's largely just your brain, it ignores that feeling if you feel like it's busy and customers are going to come in but if you feel tired and it doesn't feel busy your brain will process that feeling differently.

I'm not sure how I feel about my freshmen history teacher, She was the exact opposite of what I expected. I thought I was going to be assigned a timid nice teacher... When I walked in and the announcements came on, the first thing she did was mock the principal, she is extremely blunt, she'll either be the best teacher I have or my most hated. On the bright side she is a big fan of pugs. In other news my spanish teacher is going to be amazing, his grading policy is to give us a list of all the tests for the quarter and lets us decide when to take them. But that's not the best part, test are the only part of the grade so homework doesn't count, and if you pass a test you get an instant 100%.
