"Divorce"




Seeing my dad come back home after that whole month of him gone because of the problem that had happened with my mom and dad. Having to find out my dad had cheated on my mom and not being able to be there when everything had happened. Having to find my mom crying on the couch when I was just coming home from a party, yeah, all that affected me. I didn't know in what way to be there for my mom, all I did was try not to bring more problems to her, and tried to avoid those little things she didn't like.


At that point seeing how my mom was feeling made me not want to speak to my dad. I just never liked to see my mom like that because what she felt some how I felt too. I didn't get why my dad wanted to come talk to me and my brothers if what he had done to my mom was done and there was no turning back to what he did. While he was talking to us I didn't even want to be there listening to what he had to say, I just wanted to get up, walk into my room, and not come out until he left , but I thought I should at least stay just to see what he had to say. While he was talking me and my brothers I didn't really want to look him in the eyes, our eyes wondered off some place else. My mom wasn't in the same room where my dad was talking to us, she was in her room and we were in the living room. At one point i turned and looked at my brothers, i saw their faces, they looked serious, the only time i would see their faces like that was when they were about to get in a fight or were just mad. When he had walked in, he had a face of shame, like he knew what he did wasn't right. He told us how he wasn't expecting us to forgive him, Good I thought because I wasn't going to.


When he left I kept on thinking about what he had said. I thought how life would be with out him, and after I thought how my life would be losing him, basically I was thinking about the good and the bad about each one. In the end I decided it didn't really matter what I thought, my mom was going to make her own decision, so whatever my mom decided I would be okay with. She decided he was going to come back. She gave me two reasons, she said first cause of me and my brothers, and second because she knew she wouldn't be able to do it without the money and take care of us at the same time. Her decision affected me because I don't and won't see my dad the same ever again. Me and him don't talk as much. Sometimes I just wish they would have gone through with the divorce, maybe that way I wouldn't have to hear them fight almost everyday.

(Humanities]


Looking through every sound you had, i found this one. I chose this one personally because i had heard this exact instrument earlier in humanities class. A noise of a circular thing going in circles on a plate like thing. As i heard a not so loud noise in the begining and as it circled more, the sound would get louder. It will start of slow and get faster and faster. It kind of reminded me of when you spin a coin on a table. That instrument was really loud. To me it sounded like a helicopter when i heard it in person. The reason why i chose this one is because i thought the sound was really cool. I also thought it would be cool to write about it if i allready knew how it looked and sounded. The sound was all in your ear. You could hear it a mile away. A loud sound. It kinda also reminded me of when the trolley goes in to a tunnel going really fast. And thats what this instument sounded like. :)

S.L.O.B Character- What I Did This Weekend


Walking with Rosaleen looking for a place to stay for the night. That night wasnt really cold, Rosaleen and i decided to stay near this river type place. We bathed in the river, and slept under the trees. Me and Rosaleen has gotten mad at eachother for some reason, but then we had gotten over it after a while. We began to talk like if nothing had happened.


The next morning came, it was a sunny day. We were worried about where we were going to stay that night. We talked about how we were going to survive this with out knowing anyone. I thought we should do something to keep our minds out of it. We thought and though until saw little kids playing ball in their front yard.


We approuched the little kids playing, when we got to them the kids stopped playing at just starred at us like if they were thinking "what do you guys want". I asked can we play with you guys? They looked at eachother thinking about their answer, after those silent 30 seconds they said sure. We played for a good time then after a while we were at the big pink house.




The Locker Problem

The pattern is 1 open, 2 shut, 1 open, 4 shut, 1 open, 6 shut...etc
All numbers with a perfect square are open which is like 10 can go into 100 10 times, so like a square root, and a number that can be multiplied by itself to get a number.

Any other numbers are shut.
there are 31 perfect squares from 1-1000
which is like the example of a perfect square.
There are 969 lockers shut and 31 open because there are only 31 perfect squares and those were the ones that were going to be open so 1000-31=969 so then 969 lockers are going to be closed. 16, 81, and 625, are the doors that were only touched 5 times.


"The locker problem"
  • Suppose the first student goes along the row and opens every locker.
  • The second student then goes along and shuts every other locker beginning with locker number 2.
  • The third student changes the state of every third locker beginning with locker number 3. (If the locker is open the student shuts it, and if the locker is closed the student opens it.)
  • The fourth student changes the state of every fourth locker beginning with number 4
I am going to make a small example using
4 students and 20 lockers.
1. o c c o o o o o c c o c o c c o o o o o
2. c c o c o c c o o o o o c c o c o c c o
3. o o o o c c o c o c c o o o o c c c o c
4. o c c o o o o o c c o c o c c o o o o o
O=open C=closed
I followed the steps on the locker problem,
so i started off with all of the lockers closed and did what it said i had to do.

My Fictional Hero :)


My fictional hero is batman. The reason why he's my hero is because he saves people and he saved Gotham city. He would fight the bad people and help the good people. He is a man of muscle and gadgets, no super powers. Another reason why he is my hero is because hes a normal guy that saves people. So hes a guy doing good.:)

What is Math? What is Physics?


<---- This explains what i think math is. Just doing things with a bunch of numbers. :)
-To me math is what I was always learning at school, the usual division, mulitiplication, subtraction, addition, and fractions. I guess "math" was meant for elementary, now its physics.


To me physics is a more advanced version of math. Now that I'm in high school this is what I will be learning instead of math.

What "MYSICS" means to me is something really important that I will need in the future. It's something that I will have to apply in my everyday life.


Some examples of how I could be using math everyday is...


  • when you go shopping and you only have a certain amount of money to spend.

  • when you have to share something and divide into certain amount of pieces .

etc.
