learning rates

What a day. 

In Physics, we had a whole new lesson. This time, introducing... gravity! 

We talked about how Newton made a connection between the apple falling from a tree and the moon falling towards Earth. This led to him making out a formula that's called the law of universal gravitation. Took some notes, and then moved on to solving problems on this website. The teacher allowed us to leave when we finished completing that.

Next up was Music. I had practiced the past few days so my playing is a lot flowier and not chunky like before since I needed to stop a little to read the notes while playing. I'm pretty sure I have the whole piece memorized by now which is awesome because that means I don't have to worry about losing the score LOL. 

Oh and if you didn't know, the score is basically just the sheet music or wherever the notes are written on. I guess it's considered part of a certain lexicon for music. 

After a quick microwave lunch, I jumped into the PE classroom. The teacher gave us another presentation on the FIT formula which is an acronym for Frequency, Intensity, and Time plus some additional information about body composition. Like a pound of fat is composed of 3,500 calories. Bet you didn't know that! 

and yes, I know that you guys already know this Psi and Rama, unless your memory is so bad that you forgot already LOLLL. Well, we then played a Kahoot on this. I got fourth, but that was under the condition that my Wi-Fi was absolutely terrible and I didn't even get to see the first two questions. And then, of course, we did a workout. 

The final class was Math. Once again, the speed in this class is real slow. Literally, the teaching rate for Physics and Math are polar opposites. Two extremes. I AM looking forward to tomorrow's English class though, so much in fact that I even wrote a bit after dinner so I didn't need to do it all in class tomorrow. 

Maybe, the word spread about how I'm an absolute god at writing and then tomorrow even MORE people come looking for advice... just maybe. well, I'll leave it at that. good night!
