blizzard

There's a huuge blizzard that's about to come in like 24 hours, the first blizzard here since 1999 (at least that's what my English teacher said). but apparently district 211 NEVER gives out snow days. so on Wednesday, watch me have to walk to school (haha actually my dad's nice enough to drive me) while my bro gets to stay home and sleep in :(

on the other hand, we have our first late start this year tomorrow :D

hetalia

Yayy, got a A- in Spanish.. at first i thought that i absolutely needed an A because i got an A and a B. i hate it when you're on the edge of a grade, and everything depends on your finals. but it turned out he didn't add our last test grade in, so i got a 89.92 (if only all teachers rounded up) which is an A-, so all is good :D

mwahaha, this flowchart is awesome :P

water

Bio is hard, but yet really interesting at the same time. im getting 2 Bs in it already so it doesnt matter what i get on the finals anyways. im stuck at a B.. i should still sorta study for it cuz the final's grade is gonna show up on my report card and everything. sighh
oh yea, we did this awesome gel electrophoresis experiment thingy today. we used this micropipette that made me feel sorta professionalish :D

btw, im probably gonna fill up most of the posts this week with me studying so.....

Properties of water

1) High specific heat
The specific amount of heat energy that must be added to a gram of a substance to change its temperature by one degree celcius
tempereature= average kenetic energy of the molecules in a substance
kenetic energy=energy of motion

2) Water is a powerful solvent
ionic compounds
dissociation = seperation of ions in an ionic compound
acids increase H+ concentration in a solution

3) High heat of vapoization
Heat energy is required to change the state of a substance from liquid to gas
evaporation cooling = water takes a lot of heat energy with it when it evaporates and maintains homeostasis

4) Ice is less dense than water
it expands when frozen

calc

And of course calc stands for calculator and not calculus..
sighh, i heard the alg 2 finals are really hard. made me feel quite angry inside, since it made me remember about my 91.37% in math 1st quarter. fml. if only i got that one question right on my test.
ah well, that's the past. i wonder how ima do on my finals. i don't like studying. heh, probably no one does..
is it just me, or is English sorta hard to study for. i feel like all you need to do is remember all the stories you read, and what they're about. maybe some random vocab?


anyways, html calculator code!
nvm, it didnt work so i took it out cuz it was messing up the whole website...
i sometimes feel like the best way i study is:
1: writing on my hand
2:typing

it really depends on when and what the subject is..
like i guess for like science and social studies, its really a good idea to outline all the stuff you learned.
but, if its math, just write down the formulas that you suck the most at and write it on your hand.
however the best thing is to actually know what the semester was about..

anyways, i gotta study for this huge important math test that's gonna determine my grade for this quarter. lets see if typing helps? lalala

variations

Direct Variation:
y varies directly as x, or y is directly proportional to x, if there exists a nonzero real number k, called the constant of variation, such that
y=kx
or
y/x=k
steps:
1: write the general relationship among the variables as an equation. use constant k 2: substitute given values of the variables and find the value of k.
3: substitute this value of k into the equation from step 1, obtaining a specific formula.4: substitute the remaining values and solve for the required unknown.
Direct Variation as nth power
n=positive real number.
y varies directly as the nth power of x
y=kx^n
or
k=y/x^n
Inverse Variation
y varies inversely of the nth power of x
y=k/x
k=xy
Joint variation
m and n = real numbers
y varies jointly as the nth power of x and the mth power of z
y=kx^n z^m
*READ AND REPEAT UNTIL YOU FIND IT STARTS TO MAKE SENSE...(hehe, one of my favorite quotish phrase)

nel

What happens to Nel after espada number 5 dies? they never tell us... in fact, they never mention her again :(

*sob* she was my 2nd favorite arrancar

(top 3=ulquiorra, nel, and grimmjow)

week till finals

Sighh, finals are almost here. and i actually have to start studying now. i don't like studying. this is why the fact i found this chart is a good thing. but, some say it's bad because after we look at the chart, you don't study as much. who knows... apparently, this was from the Conant website, but i couldn't find it, so i googled, and found this PDF file. then i used my awesome Paint skills (its wayy easier than photoshop..) to make it into a picture. so, here's that finals chart that tells you what you need to get on the finals to get a certain grade for the semester.

and of course click for a bigger picture:

hehe, i had to use html to make the picture a link (since google docs totally isnt working right now), which made me feel really smart xP
except that means i can never edit this post again cuz blogger messes everything up :(

new year

Yep..it's a new year. of school. awesome right? this morning, i felt really sad, since winter break was over and it's almost time for finals. argg...i actually have to study now :(
so, i got a C on my bio test that i took right before break. so when my bio teacher asked for my parent's email, i started freaking out.. seriously, scared the hell outa me o_o
the only good part about my finals (if there ever was a good part of it) is my schedule. the only finals i have to take are bio the first day, math and English the 2nd day with a free period in between, and Spanish the 3rd day. i totally feel soo lucky that I'm able to study more. but, the thing i really hate is when u study the whole night, and when it's time to take the test, you already forget all of it :( sighh...I'm soo bad at studying this year. and there's no way i can get an A in bio this semester, since i already have a B from last quarter, and a B for this quarter. so un-asianish of me xP
btw..like my awesome orange firework gif thingy? i luv animated stuff <3
