This week, we learned about binary trees. Binary trees are fun and easy because they only split into two branches at each level, and if you keep on drawing them they become strangely symmetrical shrub-like things that are not messy and confusing like loopy graphs. Binary trees remind of tigger’s family tree. I can’t think…
Dear Mrs. Krummel and people in my math class and the great and mighty clouds up above, Please forgive me for the total wreck that I have been for the past two weeks. First, there was adjusting to my new apartment, in which I am not allowed to sing or play the piano after eleven…
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.…
Do you think that snowflakes are ghosts of the flowers who die in the early spring? I’m just giving you that question to think about. It’s in the lyrics of the song for my high school chorus audition, which might be this week or next week. I’m nervous. This week, the math was okay. We…
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…
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…
First, before you read the rest of my reflection, go listen to my recording. It’s pretty good except my voice cracked a couple times because I’m not too great at belt voice. But that’s okay! I will get a vocal teacher and improve later. The song is called “Old Devil Moon” from Finian’s Rainbow. It’s…
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…
This week meant: more proofs! But this time, instead of being standard proofs like in geometry, they were proofs by mathematical induction. Most of my annoyance at proofs in Geometry and Algebra ii mostly came from having to check my theorems/postulates sheet every 30 seconds because I did not know which proved the statement I…
