my computer crashed yesterday and i had to hand-write all my ap biology notes. the test got moved to thursday. i still have to outline parts of chapter 10 for ap biology, in fact outlining chapters for ap biology has left me quite strained for my other classes. i just hope i don’t fail this semester. i’m falling slightly behind in java

i don’t have an inner bully in me this week, but i am quite nervous and strained. i am falling behind slightly in java b/c i can’t concentrate when the classmates are too loud. i need to complete 24 pages of notes for ap biology by thurs. which is the exam and i need to find time to study in between. i am learning new things in ap calc about max. and mins and they aren’t too bad, but with all of the things going on in my life, i can’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed at having to deal with new material. i have a u.s history ii test either friday or monday. i’m going to study for sats on jan 5 (changed date) this month. i just hope i don’t fail this semester b/c everything seems out of place and i seem to be falling behind on so many things. also i need to check the status of my financial aid things for college and possibly send in the NJSTARS thing since i’m top 15% for a scholarship. i always have the same recurring dream when i’m stressed and it’s always a dream about me being lost in a swamp and having leeches on me draining me and no matter how many leaches i pull off, there are more that come on. the leeches however get washed away when i’m standing in a waterfall and the fast current just blasts them off.

thanks anita;) so i received a 110 on my ap biology notes, but i think i did bad on the chapter ten questions (90-100) on the test since i was pressed for time after a 30 minute fire drill. my special friend and i had a bad fight over the past week and we didn’t speak or associate with each other, but today we apologized to each other and are friends again. we told each other that we still care about each other. still catching up with java which is like learning another language.

yeah we had a fight a couple weeks ago, he was feeling hurt b/c he thought i was spending too much time with my ap classmates in my classes and i was forgetting about him, i pointed out that he was also spending time with his gf and we were arguing. but we forgave each other. anyway, here are the things i have to do this weekend:

study for ap calc test tuesday
study for u.s history ii test monday
complete ap biology test corrections by wednesday (24 questions to fix)
study for java and reorganize my notes, i’m still falling behind by three projects b/c the classmates are too loud and distracting. i may just teach myself instead. not to mention, the teacher moves really fast and it can be hard to keep up.
study for sats sometime.
find a way to work out and play sports when i have time.
also my ap biology teacher is starting a new chapter possibly on monday so i will have to soon split up twenty pages again to take notes on

next week, there is a four day weekend, thurs and friday no school for teachers’ convention, but i will probably spend my time doing the other 40 pages from ap biology (2 chapters) if we get to them.

here’s a computer program that i have done (i use a computer program called “eclipse ganymede” to run them. i can’t code at home since my computer doesn’t support that version of “eclipse” that is now available.

Temperature Conversion

//scanner object reads keyboard inputs
import java.util.Scanner;

//name of program
public class Convert
{
//put in source code to make program run
public static void main(String [] args)
{
//tells complier where to find specifications for class
Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
//program will use two numeric variables called fahrenheit and celsius
double fahrenheit;
double celsius;
//declares that the program will use variable number in fahrenheit
System.out.print(“Enter degrees Fahrenheit:”);
//reader object responds to message nextDouble by waiting for the user to type in a number
fahrenheit = reader.nextDouble();
//converts celsius into fahrenheit
celsius = (fahrenheit-32.0)*5.0/9.0;
//shows the words in quotes
System.out.print(“The equivalent in Celsius is “);
//shows the equivalent value in celsius
System.out.println(celsius);

}
}

also the ‘celsius = (fahrenheit-32.0)*5.0/9.0;’ is the equation for fahrenheit to celsius. the “=” is an assignment operator, it assigns the equation to the value of celsius. it is not a equivalence statement, the equivalence is ==. also if you want to add in java you have to put the plus inside quotes otherwise, the plus signs are for joining strings. sorry if this is a bit confusing.

here is a picture of an example of what would happen in ‘eclipse’ with the code

Enter degrees in fahrenheit: 32
The equivalent in Celsius is: 0.0

thanks anita. so my inner bully has come back again and it has been annoying me lately. it’s like i have a hollow hole where my heart used to be and the inner bully has lodged into it. it speaks in my mind “not good enough, too fat, fail, failure, loser, never going to amount to anything in life.” it summons whirlpools that drown me in. i am sick of the inner bully. i didn’t get enough sleep tuesday b/c i was afraid i wasn’t working out enough so i decided to work out a little and it helped curb the inner bully. then on wed., i was tired going through my notes for one last time before the exam on thurs. on thurs. the exam took two hours and made me quite tired. on friday, i got the exam back and i didn’t do so well so my inner bully went on a full rant about how worthless i am. and over the weekend i’m busy doing test corrections, studying for the tests i have in ap calc and u.s. history ii and working to catch up in java. i hope i’m not developing senioritis. i haven’t been working out as much b/c of school work so that’s another thing the inner bully has been attacking me on.
