Never judge by first glance

So on Friday I sat down to do my math test on logs. Yes, I thought logs belonged in the forest up until about a month ago, and in my opinion they do. There I was, staring at this great big equations with just as many letter as numbers as numbers. I looked at it for a few minutes, thinking to myself that this couldn't possibly make any sense, so I move on, trying to get it out of my head, and do the questions I knew, I knew. I finally get back to it. Roll up my sleeves... Then I realize that every combination of letters and numbers could easily be punched into my lovely calculator. I felt pretty dumb for being intimidated by such a simple thing.

Thinking to much about snow...

So I started out wanting to say something about the test we had yesterday, but then I went out to walk my dogs and my brain totally switched directions. So if I look out my window right now I would see the huge blizzard going on beyond the glass, of course I won't do that because it will put me in a completely somber mood. As I'm trecking through the foot and a half of snow and the snow falling is blurring my view I think about how every snow flake is different. Then I think of how every snow flake eventually hits the ground and no longer becomes a snowflake, but just snow. Then I think even further, if you separate the snow, dig deep will you find that very same snowflake? or does it lose all the integrity it had and become just like every other part of the snow? So those are my non-rhetorical questions, what do you think? Or am I the only one who has wondered about stuff like this?

So we meet again, Quadratic Formula >.< .

Last year I remember drilling that silly little formula into my head, making sure I remembered every which way to use it, and of course as it is with most things I drill into my head, I forgot all about it a few minutes after the final exam. But here we are, trying to squeeze our brains trying so very hard to remeber how to use it, because no matter how far we run, we can NEVER escape the lovely quadratic formula. Here we are using them along with logs, and it wouldn't surprise me if we kept using them until the end of College, so we meet again Quadratics...

Youth Ambassador 2012!!!!!!

I want to be a Youth Ambassador because I feel very strongly that everyone should be aware of what is going on all over the world, the good and the bad. I think ONE person can make a difference be it big or small. I want to BE THE CHANGE. I want to witness first hand what is really going on.

Water Bears are COOL!

Ok, so I was going throught my youtube subs as I so often do, I came across this UBER cool video about these UBER cool little creatures, well I think so anyways. So these water bears, or Tardigrades are these little organisms that can survive in the most airid conditions, they can survive at ABSOLUTE ZERO, 300 F or even under crazy pressure! CRAZY! They're also kind of cute. I know this doesn't have much to do with math, but I thought I should share. I also LOVE the Doctor Who refrence :)
