My Love For...


k first of all.
THANKS LB [LAUREN BABA] FOR REMINDING ME ITS A SELF ASSESSMENT!
k now for my blog:
okay so these are DONUTS. in swimming. where are these you may ask? well they are in the lanelines. in the summer marie, haku, geramiah, and myself restrung 10 LC lanelines. now at first it looked a bit tedious but do-able. however, i was proven wrong. it was a long and arduous task. it took forever and i got many cuts from the frayed wire end. IT SUCKED! and it was fridgen hot. but the music did help mollify the pain from the sun and stringing them. k first of all you have to lay the laneline out. then you have to take them all off and you can't just take the wire off you have to start off with a reasonable length and push it off the end. easy rite? NO! its not. wen u start to get to the end you have to walk all the way to the end and walk it outtt. hah. but then u have to keep doing that til all of them are off. then you have to organize! cuz it helps in the long run. and there are 3 different pieces, times two because white and red colors, equals six large piles. OMG! and then you have to get rid of the junk cracked ones. so there obviously is a pattern and i wont even get to that. but it takes very long to do it! my back was so sore after that. it took some days. >< style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">fun in a way. i got to hang with my hommies ^.^ and i got paid. haha. and also it was for something i love to do---swimming. i have more respect for lanelines now. and DON'T PUT YOUR WEIGHT ON IT! or i shall kill you! haha. if u break it, O.o beware! heh. well anyways...what does this have to do with me and physics?
well...thats exactly how i feel. its very tiresome on the brain like chapter 5&6. but i love the labs and the atmosphere. i love our physics class! it is one of my favorite classes which is a surprise cause science in the past hasn't really been looked forward to. i LOVE physics!

inertia overcomes mind


this would be my crazy "family" at LC States '07 ^.^

Okay so AFTER class day, we had a senior meet at CORP. twas very windy and cold. anyways so i was swimming 200 back and well i take out the first 50 with the momentum i get from my dive. so its supposedly the fastest 50 of the 200 . then i usually balance out in the 2nd 50 and sometimes when i get lazy, i rest the 3rd 50 and "save" my energy for the 4th 50. okay well this is very bad thing to do and my disappointed coach would say,
"that was stupid because it takes more energy to get back to the speed you were at."
now i realize that is true and it isnt smart to THINK that you can save your energy for later. this has to do with inertia because it takes more FORCE as we learned in chapters 5&6 to change speeds. silly me, now that is what i think when i want to give up and just try at the end---SANDBAGGER. >.< BUT this time i had a reason because i was super tired already then we had class day then the meet. so i was very sick to the stomach and tired. haha. good thing i skipped morning practice that day! haha. anyways...was my coach wrong in using the term energy?
