    Greetings. This week, we learned about graph theory. I like graph theory because it is mainly visual rather than abstract like algebra, but it is also really confusing because of all the terms. I think I most definitely failed the quiz/test on graph theory vocabulary. Now, I know that the number of nodes…

Hello. I will try to make this short since I want to pack and practice for All State. But this must be done. Last week, we had a review unit about matrices combined with the Playfair system and Hill’s system. Honestly, not much happened. This week, however, is as crazy as it gets. All State,…

Cecilia’s Reflection Weeks 21 and 22

I didn’t know that we had to do a week 21 reflection because we didn’t have class that week, but everyone else wrote random things and called it their week 21 reflection, so I shall as well. However, I am combining it with the reflection week 22. I shall attempt to make it as long…

All state’s great! All state’s fun! All state is for everyone! (Remember this, Colin?) Yes, indeed. I got my All State music this week. This year, they didn’t tell us who the director is yet, but she must really like old classical songs. There’s not a single contemporary song in my folder like last year.…

Note to Mrs. Krummel: did you notice that clicking on an item in the tag cloud no longer works? At least it doesn’t work on my computer at River Hill or my computer at home. This week, a person named Cecilia had to do too much math, despite the small amount of math homework that…

My beautiful Christmas cookies. You know you want one.

Inspired by Erik’s previous poem blog posts, I will attempt to do something similar. Being an awkward writer and poet in general, this will probably turn out like an enormous mass of short choppy sentences that don’t make sense (my version of freeverse). Wish me luck. The stratocumulus clouds float serenely, invisibly, in the dark…

It has been a long week. I don’t even know if “it” is used correctly in the previous sentence since it has no preceding noun that explains what it is. However, I think the general reader can figure out that “it” means “this week,” which would seem really repetitive and awkward (another grammar error) if…

Yes, Irene. You are first, and I shall be second. I feel that I should be making a deep and colorful metaphor about being first and second, but I can’t think of one. The old quote “Never settle for less than your best” is overused. I will be first next week. Wait and see. This…

So it’s been a busy week, with the STEM fair over the weekend and March coming in (like a lamb, was it?) so quickly, it doesn’t even feel like third quarter. Well for me, anyway. About the STEM fair… well I honestly thought I could talk forever on this subject, but maybe not. I got…

Quotations

“There is no use trying,” said Alice. “One can’t believe impossible things.” “I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” ~ Lewis Carroll
