| Passing of the StickThe only thing I like about how stupid I've been in the past is that I know not to do it anymore and I can tell my younger friends and brothers so they won't make the same mistakes.
So my little brother is taking the PSAT. This test is MUY IMPORTANTE porque it is the fastest, most accessible gateway to the largest scholarships you could ever ask for. I tried to help my younger friend and I don't feel like she was really bringing it. Maybe she was, but the results weren't there and she's going to end up like me. A "Thanks for trying!" card. My little brother right now is scoring below what me and my friend did. But now I know my brother is very disciplined. I used to think "I can tell him this but he probably won't listen" but I see him testing and scoring every day. I'm proud of him, whether or not he scores high. He reminds me you can learn from even the people you're teaching. | | |
| Understanding PhysicsOh my gosh, you guys. Why didn't I think of it earlier? Howstuffworks.com and other websites that tell you how individual things work will help you a lot more than just trying to memorize formulas. I wish I had thought of it sooner. It's nice to get "Oh my gosh, that makes sense!" moments in this class, finally. So, I'm going to spend the next hour or two asking "How does a resistor work?" "How does a battery work?" "How do capictors work?" "How does a magnetic field work?" before I do more problems. If you are doing electromagnetism, a good analogy to think of things is to pretend the current is a flow of water. The pressure is the voltage. Etc. As for how I'm doing, my body has been acting very strangely. Being hungry all the time. Headaches. I have this terrible crick in my neck lasting up to 2 weeks, now. I don't get it. | | |
| The Solution to PhysicsWe figured it out. We decided to all put in our answers together. The 3 of us girls. Plus our 2 friends who study with us. Then I arbitrarily told a girl in lab we were doing it and I didn't expect her to actually come. Then I called 2 more friends and they brought one more. Then a few more kids randomly walked in. And we all walked out with As.
I think I figured out this professor's plan. Touche, Prof. Vega... and thank you! :)
The other reason I'm feeling so bright is that this coffee mask is working.
This stuff really works. After you grind your coffee, mix it with honey (or not, it still works) and slather it up! I swear by this, dude. At least once a week. | | |
| Hip Hop Saved My LifeI think hip hop and country have a lot in common. A lot of people hate the genres and a lot of people claim the genre saved their life. Unfortunately, I'm not as in tune with country to talk about it much as I am with hip-hop, but here is something I don't understand about the hip. Why do the fans feel the need to defend it?
I hear a lot of "hip hop is dead". Now, granted, I've also heard a lot of "Rock is dead," but that's as far as it goes. When you hear "hip hop is dead" it then turns into a whole debate. A whole army of words to try and defend hip hop so it can still be considered art. Or music. Or whatever it is they are hoping for. Is that necessary?
If everyday pop music doesn't need defending, electronic music, rock music, RnB music, and is all still acceptable, why do we have to defend hip-hop?
So, at least I, am not going to spend my time defending hip hop music anymore. Its unjust to feel the need to.

| Fourth of JulyIf you know me, you know that I don't celebrate American holidays very
well. That's changed now, considering that I've just had the best 4th I
could have even imagined.
I was invited to a beautiful home, had some great food and drinks, met
some really cool people. I saw fireworks (in person! Not on TV, hah!).
I went swimming. And had an interesting encounter with the police.
I have photos, but I am too lazy to upload them yet. You can check my
fb later. I just wanted to update to say that socially, I have never
been so happy.
When it comes to physics, I'm still frustrated as ever. I swear, I am
going to figure out a way to handle this and when I do, I'll be sure to
share it.
