Standardized tests are lame

Bleh. We have standardized testing 2 periods a day 3 days a week for the next 3 weeks. Not gonna be fun to do. Those things are a waste of time and energy in my opinion. However, I do get to mist the english/history block that has so plagued me this year for the next 3 days. That is good. What is not good is that the teachers decided that, because there’s no class on those days, we should have to do work that we would normally do in class as homework. Thus, I have 4 homework assignments between those two that are all due friday.

On the bright side of school we’re doing circuits in physics, something I’ve wanted to learn for a while. And our teacher figured out an awesome relativity paradox. I’ll see if I can find it online somewhere for the next post. I’m too lazy to explain it or his solution just now.
And speaking of physics:

Click to make it larger. It’s what I’ve worked out to be the sum of all the forces of all the particles in a planet of radius r that is distance d from another particle. Unfortunately I have no idea how to solve it…The reason I want to is so that I can test it against Newtons theory of gravitation. You never know.
But onto other things.
New Red Mongoose album! Wootwoot! Check it out here: http://redmongoose.newgrounds.com/news/post/438170. It’s actually quite good. His albums seem to get steadily better throughout the years. I now have eight of them.
Hurrah.
Last bit of news: I got to play a Korean kid at starcraft. Before anyone says I’m stereotyping Koreans, realize that this Starcraft a huge part of their culture:
Just check out the crowd at 2:28 if you don’t believe me.
So yeah, I got to play a guy from there. It was fun. He beat me of course, but it was close. A good game. And it got me back into the starcraft campaign, which I am now enjoying immensely.
Tis good stuff.
Zazzle is selling shoes now. Crazy, custom designed shoes. I don’t know if I like it yet. Time shall tell.
