we are learning about universal gravitation on different planets and talking about planetary orbits in physics honors and it’s quite fun. dave and i both find this topic to be the most entertaining. also andrew, dave and i didn’t really like ch.7 in pre-calc where we learn about sine, cosine and tangent, their inverses (arcsine, arccosine, arctangent) and also their reciprocals (cosecant, secant, cotangent) and according the degree of the angle where they lie on the coordinate plane circle (cosine lies in upper half, sine lies in top right and tangent in right half). it’s easy, but there are lots of properties to remember, so now all three of us have come together to help each other instead of competing. the greatest thing about dave and andrew are that they are laid-back and doesn’t let their stress get out of hand, they always find ways to dissipate it through reading, experimenting with science, going out in nature (hiking is so much fun) or working out. they like me are intensely focused on school work, but they take time to appreciate the beauty of being alive and being out in nature. they are very open-minded and compassionate as well, i think i am becoming very much like them. my parents can be quite judgmental and also criticizing at times. dave, andrew, steve and my special friend like to go with the flow of life. andrew will get more annoyed than dave at times and sometimes i become like andrew as well b/c of the competition. dave is often the mediator between both of us and if we both seem stressed, he’ll cheer us up. dave is great at working with people and sometimes me, him and andrew work together and we learn a lot. my ap english grade and essay writing has gotten better b/c of dave and my science grade has gotten better b/c of andrew. i have started to feel more confident about myself and so has andrew and we have started to shift away from tying our competition to our worth and just enjoying life and working together, teaching each other new things. i got a 104 on my pre-calc quiz on the law of cosines, sines and unit circle;) dave and i seem to have a spiritual connection these days, i’m always looking out for him and him for me. there are times when he seems to be able to sense what i’m thinking and he often helps me with physics honors. sometimes when i’m discussing things with andrew, he will be nearby to also help me and also mediate things if andrew and i start to argue, but this week we’re both having fun competing with each other.
people are so innovative:
