from summer's beginning to the middle!

this is a better representation of part of our summer, starting in may!

I'm Mr. Collins, the most dangerous bore of the country!

Hey guess what! I am Mr. Collins in a Pride and Prejudice play at my school. Mrs. Stark (thats my drama club director) said i could've made a wonderful person acting as anyone in the play but i was put as Mr. Collins because he required a little higher level of acting, because he was a more specific, and harder, character! I get to be the most dangerous bore of the country according to the script. But i actually am a pretty halarious bore for that matter!

physics problem!

here's a really hard physics problem for ya! I solved it, maybe you can!

here it is:

A rock is dropped off a cliff into the ocean. The sound of the splash is heard 3.2 seconds after it is dropped. Assuming the speed of sound is 340 m/s and gravity accelerates the rock at 10 m/s^2, what is the height of the cliff? (neglecting air resistance)
help:

Find givens:
Time: 3.2sec
Sound spd.: 340m/s
Gravity: 20m/s^2

Unknowns:
Time of sound: ?
Time of fall: ?
height: ?

DRAW A DIAGRAM!

Eqn's: You'll need 2 of them! Find out which ones!(all require assumed constant acceleration)
x=xo+vot+(.5)g(t^2)

v=v+at

(avg.)v=(vo+vf)/2

(avg.)v=d/t

GOOD LUCK! HAVE FUN!

i had a fun summer, and schools started out fun too!






















Hey ya'll i got news! School has started! Summer went by quick don't you think? well here's all the fun i've had!

trek

i went on a trek this summer in june, in which we had to pull handcarts for abotu 15 miles over a period of 3 days and two nights(we slept during the nights). it was awesome, an the first day we arrived, ate lunch got organized and started off. we went about four miles that day and we got to talk to everyone in our families, (we were organized into companies and families). when the next day came around there were rumours of a disastrous windstorm that tore through the night, but i don't know, i slept without an interuption. then on the next day we pulled for about 8 miles and had fun that night with skits, i was the star of our skit as the dog!(okay not the star but it was an emotion change play and you have to be an expert to show exaggerated emotion while being a dog). then there was a hoedown, where we just danced and had fun. we hiked for three miles and had a mormon battalion thing for the last day then we went home, overall it was a very good experience! on the third moorning, (sorry random add on) we had a morningside, then we had a company testimony meeting where we got into our companies and had testimony sharing and discussions and hymn singing.

look at this fish!

okay here it is, i am fishing with this worm and i was getting bored. no bites for 25 minutes, i suddenly see my pole dip up and down. i jolt for it. this fish is fighting hard! it weighs like 15 pounds and fights like mad! i fought it for about 30 minutes, and i thought i had a sturgen. i then see the big old carp (the one in the picture) and it jolts down. it was pulling a little to hard for me i tried to move my feet for better footing and slipped on the wet deck. my dad lunged forward. he grabbed me by my leg. he started pulling my leg just like i am pulling yours!

things you might not know about me

well..
I am the priesthood pianist.
I love fishing.
I am afraid of heights yet i have jumped off of a 35 foot cliff before into water.
i often mess up on what i want to say.

weird huh?
