So up until these past two weeks, physics was so phun, I felt like ONE MILLION DOLLARS! But sadly that was when I understood the concepts. I actually looked forward to going to physics class everyday. Physics was like a break from all my other boring classes. Each time I understood a different concept, I would jump with joy, for from those revelations I feel as though I just won one million dollars. Doing labs is also really phun. Labs put your brain to the test with incorporating physics while you actually can see physics happening before your very own two eyes.

However this feeling all changed these past two weeks as I cannot seem to grasp this new concept. Especially during this past quiz, I was very frustrated because I did not know what was going on. And right now I am frustrated because I just spelled the words "frustrated" and "because" wrong about 4 times. Anyway every time I have to make sure Jon Carlile walks in front of me because it makes me frustrated when he makes failed attempts to stick objects in places I wish weird objects are not to be stuck. Having him in four of my eight periods on Mondays and Wednesdays sometimes gets frustrating. And I just spelled "frustrating" wrong about 3 times, it is making me frustrated.

Anyways I think I will have to just keep trying my best, and when that revelation comes, I will once again feel like ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!

What Did You Eat For Lunch?

So this might not look like physics, but I think it is. Here you can see me, in the green, getting throughly dominated by one of my wrestling coaches. At this point in time, he is applying force with both his legs, in an attempt to view what ate for lunch. However, since both is legs are applying the same amount of force, I remain stationary because the force from each side cancels out. Here the net force on my body is 0.

H0wever, the fight is not over, for I have a firm grasp of my coaches hair. Although the amount of force I am applying to pull out his hair is not enough, there is a significant amount of pain involved. If his hair did come out, then I would know that I pulled with enough force.

This whole picture is also a good example of inertia. In order for the picture to come out clearly, all members have to fight the urge to move. They are objects that are at rest and staying at rest. What you do not know, is that in the end I end up winning, although it does not look good for me now, I prevail in the end. Note that in the top right corner Jon Carlile is being hugged by another guy. I would also like to say again, that in the end I end up not losing.
