Mathematical advancement
Today in school I began working on my own in math (accelerated), and tommorrow I may get placed in an even more advanced group. I was very happy to hear this, obviously. In science, we did a roller coast project where we had a 12 foot long piece of tubing and we had to tape it to the wall to make a "roller coaster." We would then put a BB down it, and adjust it so that the BB had enough energy to get up over the crests of the loops. Whoever had the biggest loops, and still managed to get their BB all the way through, won. We got 2nd place out of six groups. As I predicted, the house was being torn down today, and we watched it in language arts. We then went to the science room for 80 minutes (it has no windows) and the next time we got to a window, the entire frame was down. Those are pretty much the highlights of my day at school. When I got home, I goofed off for a little bit and then had dinner: chinese barbeque ribs, chicken noodle soup, and ham fried rice. Rehearsal was called for tonight, so I didn't start my homework until later. I didn't study for my Romeo and Juliet test, but it's late now and I don't have time. I pretty much had math, and I had to get my Spanish quiz signed. After my homework was done, I Google Image Searched some of the equipment I've been reading about in Black Hawk Down, so I could get a better understanding (Little Birds, Orion, Black Hawks, TOW missiles, M16s, AK47s, five ton flatbed trucks, wide-body humvees, .50 cals, RPGs, 9 mm Beretta pistols, and just general photos of Rangers and Delta Force operators in combat). Of course, the 2007 models of all these things are different than those of 14 years ago, but it was still very enriching. I also got a good deal of reading in tonight. And I finally got that reservation called in for my theater's long-running hit show on Saturday. Now, I am very tired and stayed up way too late (especially since I have band at 7:45 tomorrow, so I have to get there 45 minutes earlier than my usual 8:30 arrival time), so I am going to bed now.
