End of 1st Quarter


As a follow up to my last reflection, I was right about physics turning out ok even though I knew it was going to be challenging. I'm happy with the grade I finished the quarter with, though I will still try my best to improve it for this quarter. My test grades are a little lower than I like but the good thing is that the grades have been consistent and hopefully I'll be able to do better in that area this quarter. Free body diagrams on ramps still confuse me but the chapter we are learning about now is so far my favorite. I feel I have adjusted to this class and it's requirements in the past quarter and I'm ready for this next one. (ahh i know this is 3 days late already but i don't have a picture right now....but i WILL put one up later!)...haha good picture, yes?

Yesterday when i cam home from the beach i was SO hungry and all i wanted was something to eat and i was like "ooh! we have taquitos!" Our freezer is right across from our counter where a glass of water happened to be resting at the very edge. I reached to the bottom of the freezer, grabbed the box of taquitos turned around while holding them out to put them on the counter and before I realized what happened the glass of water went flying through the air and shattered across the kitchen floor. So following Newton's law, the glass was happily sitting in place until a big net force came and caused it to be pushed off the counter. So instead of sitting down and enjoying my food, I had to get the broom and the vacuum and clean up all the broken glass. Thank you, physics!
