third week of school now. already a month into school. that's insane. but this week we did a lot of limits. along with that limits involving INFINITE. my math grade isn't the best. but very thankful of the mastery paper to get all your points back. and me doing that first for the test i realized i missed the stuff that i know but just forgot the hour of the test. but i think it's amazing how creative it is to give a grade deciding if you know the work not depending how you did on the test. i really like that. for example the fact that i messed up on the PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM, i added instead of SUBTRACTED. a very easy mistake that i don't know how on earth i can miss that. but this week was pretty smooth. nothing too hardcore happened, the limit that we are working on isn't that bad. i will be needing to step the game up a bit in math. but i'm easily DISTRACTED sometimes, especially after lunch where i'm not too focused on being here. but in general i still haven't hated this class. and i don't think i will. something interesting that i was enjoying is CONTINUITY at a point, and infinite limits. my thoughts in general this week isn't really focused on one thing. my mind can be insane sometimes. i can have millions of thoughts a day about anything that is "life". anyway hopefully after high school i can get the CAREER of graphic arts. not only will that require a lot of math skills but also science and the skills on a computer. on the ACT math section my final score was a 89%. when it comes to the knowledge of math, i can ace it like nothing. that's what i love about myself. when it comes to the math and logic i can put all the puzzle pieces inside my head and figure out the answer. i just need to get it back in calculus. but over all i have no problem with math. and the last week till we're in school for a whole month already is getting close. and like i said i am very thankful about have the mastery key paper. it shows you want your students to get the idea of the whole subject. not only one test and forget. you want them to actually prove that they know how to do it. so i think that is a beast way of thinking when it comes to it :) have a good weekend,IN THE SECOND WEEK OF AP CALCULUS, WE'RE FINALLY GETTING BACK INTO THE SCHOOL FEELING. RIGHT NOW WE ARE LEARNING ABOUT LIMITS. AND EVALUATING EACH LIMIT ALSO PROVIDING A GRAPH FOR EACH. HOW I FEEL IN AP CALC. COMPARED TO LAST WEEK? MORE RELAXED. LESS STRESSED. I AM NOT A FAN OF ANYTHING LIKE MAKING BLOGS AND CCC AND ALL OF THAT. BUT BACK TO LIMITS. LIMITS MATTER BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO DO THEM BY FINDING THE LIMIT OF IT BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE CALCULATOR ISN'T AN OPTION. - NOW OUTSIDE OF MATH, I AM NOW MANAGING AN ORGANIZATION ON YOU-TUBE WITH 200,000 SUBSCRIBERS. I RECENTLY SENT A BUSINESS EMAIL FOR MONSTER ENERGY DRINK AND RED BULL. I AM WORKING ON COCA-COLA. WITH THAT SAID ON MY PERSONAL TWITTER I HIT 11,000 FOLLOWERS. AND I AM BACK TO DOING INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS. BACK TO MATH, THE HOMEWORK WITH THE PROBLEMS, I ACTUALLY FOUND IT REALLY EASY, I FLEW THROUGH THE WHOLE THING WITHOUT STRUGGLING AT ALL.
IN THE FIRST WEEK OF AP CALCULUS, WE GOT SITUATED AND FINALLY BACK TO SCHOOL. I LEARNED A LOT THAT I ALREADY KNEW, BUT OVER THE SUMMER I ALSO LEARNED THAT YOU CAN FORGET A LOT IF YOU DON'T PRACTICE AT ALL. STUFF LIKE FINDING ZEROS. I KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT OVER SUMMER I'M REALLY RUSTY. HOW I FEEL ON AP CALC. I DON'T KNOW TO BE HONEST. I'M NOT REALLY SCARED BUT I DO FEEL A LOT OF STRESS TAKING PLACE. FOR EXAMPLE. FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL AND IT'S ALREADY A PACKET AND A TEST THE NEXT WEEK. I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S BAD. I'M JUST SAYING THAT CAN BE VERY STRESSFUL SOMETIMES. BUT THE TEACHER SEEMS LIKE A BEAST AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE FUN. I THINK I STRUGGLED WITH KNOWING THAT I FORGOT SO MUCH THE PAST SUMMER. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THIS SUMMER WAS BY FAR THE MOST INSANE SUMMER I HAVE HAD IN MY LIFE. SO MUCH STUFF IN ONE SUMMER THAT WAS DONE. AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY TIME TO PRACTICE WITH MATH AGAIN. MY PARTICIPATION IN THE LEARNING THIS WEEK WAS PRETTY GOOD. I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG, I'M UPDATED WITH ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED SO FAR. I STILL NEED TO WORK ON GETTING MY MIND OUT OF "SUMMER" MOOD. IT'S THE FIRST WEEK SO I'M NOT TOO WORRIED BUT I STILL CAN'T GET OVER HOW FAST SUMMER WENT. ME SITTING HERE AND TYPING THIS IS INSANE TO THINK ABOUT. SENIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL. MY HIGH SCHOOL LIKE SO FAR FLASHES BEFORE MY EYES. IT'S GOING BY SO FAST. AND SOON ENOUGH I'LL BE FINISHED WITH HIGH SCHOOL. SO LIKE I SAID, IGNORING ALL THE STRESS THAT I FEEL LIKE THIS CLASS WILL OR WON'T BRING ME. I STILL THINK I WILL ENJOY THIS CLASS AS A WHOLE. AND WILL KEEP UPDATED WITH EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. NOW JUST A LITTLE ABOUT ME. I GO BY "ELI" IT'S KINDA MY NICKNAME THAT'S BEEN HERE FOR AWHILE. I'M A VIDEO CREATOR AND XBOX "GAMER" I GET MONEY BY SELLING STUFF LIKE GRAPHIC ARTS AND PROMOTIONS. I HAVE BEEN ON YOU TUBES WITH OVER 400,000+ SUBSCRIBERS. SOME NEAR A MILLION. MY FUTURE I SEE MYSELF AS A GOOGLE OR DISNEY GRAPHIC DESIGNER. AND WITH THAT I ALSO SEE MYSELF CREATING A GAME THAT WILL GO BIG ON A LOT OF CONSOLES. SO MATH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME, WHY? I CAN'T GET ANY GRAPHIC ARTS JOB WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF MATH. I'M NOT GONNA SAY I HATE OR LOVE MATH, I'M JUST GOING TO SAY I HONESTLY DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT. SOMETIMES THE STUFF WE'RE DOING CAN BE REALLY FUN WHEN IT COMES TO MATH. so this is nearly 500 words. something else about me. i can type nearly 90-1oo words per minute. that's one reason why i love to type papers instead of write them. thank you so much for reading this. and i hope this will be a very enjoyable class =) |
