November SAT IIs

Well, I just took the SAT IIs for physics and math (level 2) earlier today. The math subject test wasn’t too hard, but the physics was kinda bleh. Mainly because I ran out of time at the end, and didn’t get to do like 10 (or 20… or 25) questions. I don’t even know how many questions there were, since I didn’t even see the last page, but I think it’d be around 75 questions total. I probably took too long for each question or something. When the proctor said there were ten minutes left, I was still around question 40ish, and I sorta ended up rushing.

I doubt I did too well, but apparently the scoring for physics is pretty lenient, so you can omit a bunch of questions and still get a high score. I guess I’ll see when the results come back in a few weeks. I’ll probably end up taking it again in December, except this time I won’t wait until a week before the test to start studying.

Anyway, this week’s create.swf update will come sometime later today.

Happy Halloween! I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to make a flash on Halloween, since I still have a lot of SAT II Physics stuff to study, but I decided it’d be weird not having anything for Halloween, so I just made this.

There were a bunch of cool costumes this year at my school, including Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, Michael Phelps (basically a guy with swimming trunks, no shirt, a gold medal, swimming goggles, and wet hair), Thing 1 and Thing 2 (From the Cat in the Hat), some dictator from the Congo (who apparently ate some people when he was alive), and uhh… a bunch of English/History teachers dressed up as characters from the board game Clue. Yeah. Anyway, go ahead and discuss your Halloween experiences and whatnot.

S.I. Units

I actually had a daily flash idea similar to this one last school year, but I guess I just forgot about it until it was mentioned today in physics. Well anyway, for people who don’t know what SI Units are, here it is on Wikipedia. Just because I didn’t know what they were until last year. Well, I knew what meters and kilograms were, I just didn’t know they were called SI Units, because the US just has to be different with its inches and pounds and whatnot.

Anyway, I have the SAT IIs (everyone still calls them “the SAT IIs” even though they’re called “SAT subject tests” now) for Math 2 and Physics this Saturday, and I sorta haven’t studied at all, so I need to do that, and I might not feel like making as many daily flashes this week.

Here’s some more of those Touhou Mojipittan things. This one looks like it’s by the same person who made this and this. There are two more after the pagebreak.

Hiking

(swf)

Well, the entire senior grade had a hiking trip today. We took the Metro-North train to some place upstate, and then we hiked. It was a very long hike. And everyone was tired. I took too many pictures on the train, so my camera ran out of batteries before we even got to the hill (it was more like a small mountain), so I didn’t get any pictures of the view at the top, which is a shame because it was a really nice view. I basically spent the entire trip regretting the fact that I didn’t recharge my camera’s batteries the night before. We ate lunch at the top, and then walked down on a different path, for some reason. It took a long time to get down, mostly because we had no idea where we were going.

We missed the 3 o’ clock train by about fifteen minutes, so we had to wait for the 4 o’ clock one. Everyone was sweaty and thirsty, so a bunch of us went to some ice cream store to get some drinks… and ice cream. That line in that place was super long, and may have possibly been that store’s busiest day ever. We got on the train, and I saw all these signs that said “Watch the gap” that I wanted to take pictures of, but I couldn’t because of my lack of batteries. I got someone else to take a picture of it, though (I told them not to ask why). We got back to the city at 5 something, and then I went home and slept for like two hours. It’s a good thing I finished most of my homework yesterday.

Anyway, no daily flash for today, just this drawing.
