CENTRIPETAL FORCE: IT’S CENTRIPETAL!

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.

Roller Coasters

The current financial crisis is all because some high school calculus students failed to make a roller coaster function that is differentiable everywhere. Because everyone knows that the economy depends on the success of fictional amusement park roller coasters.

Monsters

Well, I sorta had a lot of homework so this one wasn’t really thought through so well. The frame with the window was actually something from some assignment I just did this weekend, where we had to write about a childhood monster and make a visual. Mine was some sort of murderer guy, like those that you see on the news and they’re like “a murderer is on the loose tonight and blah blah” and I was like “oh no” and whatnot. Yeah.

Assumptions

Based on an actual comment during a class discussion regarding the veil of ignorance. It was pretty much the same activity, and there was this one of a guy wearing a suit and using a laptop while smiling, and someone said what was said by Unnamed Character in the flash. And it was awesome.
