ughh math

Ok so it is the first day of math class and mrs. R gives us this sheet of paper. On this paper is a 5x5 chart and at the top it says bingo. Great!I thought, I love bingo! then she begins to tell us what this paper is for. She tells us that we have to do these assignments; at least five of them. Luckily we were able to talk her out of making us do an actual row straight across, straight down, or diagonally, because honestly this assignment was hard for me. So of course in my nature i wait till the last minute to begin. Not because i like to procrastinate, but because i really had no clue of what to write about.
So it all starts with Mrs. R's first lesson. Our first set of notes are about linear and quadratic functions. She taught us how to place these functions in our calculator and then to graph them. Then we took time to analyze the graphs to find the x and y intercepts, the maximum and the minimum, and the domain and range. All of this seemed so easy to me because it is like review being as i was in and honors class last year.
The next day on August 21, 2009 she went over three more things: in finding the increasing values, the decreasing values, and determining if the symmetry of the function was even, odd, or neither.
On August 25, 2009 Ms. Rosi brings up the dreaded word. this word i hate more than anything, haha factoring. Of course this is review for me, but i still find it difficult to comprehend. this year i am doing things differently. I am sitting in the front row, i think helps me out alot, because it allows me to stay focused. After today with our little brush up on factoring i think i got it down. YAYYY!
Skipping ahead to August 31, 2009 Ms. Rosi goes over division of polynomials and how to do the short cut. i myself love short cuts. this shortcut was called synthetic division. which can only be used when you are dividing by x to the first power. if not then you have to do long division. blech which is never fun.
On September 17, 2009 we take notes over how to find vertical asymptotes. these are always fun. Out of all that we have done so far i think graphing has been the most fun. i don't know why though, i guess because it is so easy for me. we also learned what a hole was and how it can alter the way we draw our graph.
Ok so now we are about half way done with the nine weeks and i am getting really tired of just reviewing stuff all the time. It makes me mad how every five seconds someone is asking how to find something. Nobody pays attention in class and i feel like we aren't getting anywhere because of their constant complaining. UGHH!...I'm sorry i mean i guess i just don't like ignorant people. GOSh I'm mean.
On September 25, 2009 we learned how to divide and multiply rational functions, and again this is just another thing that is review for me, because i remember it from last year. Boy this sure is exciting. haha
On October 1, 2009 Ms. Rosi taught us how to find a Slant asymptote and or the Horizontal asymptote. All these which i get to add to things to find when i am graphing functions. all i got to say is I Love math class...haha wow
i cant wait till i get to learn something different. right now I'm not doing as well as i would like in that class. i don't know why, but Ms. Rosi says it is because i don't apply myself. I mean i am trying but i don't know maybe i should try harder.


Barbra

Barbra, if anyone knows who this woman is they will agree with me when I say she is a witch.
She is my teacher the witch. So my story begins in 7th grade. The whole class of about 15 was sitting in our seats on the first day of school, quite and calm. this of course unusual for a 7th grade class on the first day of school. So the teacher walks in and we all gasp. Her hair is all a mess and her eyes were filled with emptiness. she begins to bark about how she woke up late and came to school late. At this point we still didn't even know her name. She starts to give her lecture about todays lesson and her nose begins to twitch and i swear by the moon that a mole/wart sprouts from her upper lip. At that moment we all knew that she, Barbra is a witch.

What Game?

Okay so this is EMBARRASSING! it was one of the biggest games of our senior girls season.
Apollo Softball's biggest rival is Owensboro Catholic. So all of our varsity girls show up and they are in uniform. The catholic girls at this point are already there waiting for instruction from their coach. So they walk onto the field and begin to stretch and throw to get warmed up for the game. Everybody was hipped up and ready to go. Then out of nowhere the catholic girls looked up and sombody goes lets go get ready for the game. The embarrasing thing was that this dumb girl all of a sudden goes WHAT GAME?!
ever since then all the varsity girls before every game we go What Game? as a joke hahaha i love my girls and our memories

The past

my past?
oh ok well one thing that I sometimes wish I could forget about was when I was about six. I was in Kindergarten and it was right around picture day. I all of a sudden felt the urge to get my hair cut. I mean it was getting pretty long and I wanted it to look good for picture day. So I went and fount the sharpest scissors I could, and I fount a quiet spot away from anyone. I hid while I was doing it because I knew that it was a bad thing. so I start to cut away at my beautiful hair....and what do you know I cut the biggest chunk ever out of my hair. All of it falls to the ground and i almost started t0 cry. I tried everything to hide it from my mom and dad, but it didn't work. Instead of getting in trouble the first thing my mom does is calls my aunt. During dinner that night my aunt comes over and tries to fix my hair. lets just say that my long locks weren't so long anymore. I looked like a boy. Now I will forever have my kindergarten picture to remind me of this horrific day,

Who i want to be


My goals for after high school are to go to collage and get an education in sports medicine. My whole life used to be centered around my family and sports. I am currently taking the necessary classes to get me ready for my future career. I am enrolled in Anatomy and IB biology. Anatomy is a good class to take because it teaches me about the human body and how each part works together to do the little things we do every day. My goal for next year is to get into the student internship, shadowing a physical therapist. Physical therapy and sports medicine is something that I am really into. I have to admit i actually get excited to go to my Anatomy class, because there are always new discoveries so it never gets boring. I cant wait to go to college and pursue my career.

badd day

When I woke up today I felt diffrent. Nothing was the same. When I usually wake up I get into this routine and i feel like if i dont do the same things everyday my day will go terrible.
Well that is exactly what happened. I was late today because of the rain. It all seems to be a big series of unfortunate events. I get to class and my homework is wet from the rain. Then i find out that i have a big test in Anatomy. I mean What else could go worng, i just had to ask. Every time one thing goes wrong I get into this mood and I go to this mental satate where i dont what to talk to anyone. Everyone is annoying and I really hate that about myself sometimes. I cant chage it is just the way I am. All i can say is that today was a bad day.
