Uno's thoughts

Sliding through the window, my timberlands sliding across the window I had to be careful not to wake my moms and my step-dad. That night had been so crazy, feeling the power of the train in my body. I really think I helped D tonight. I hope he doesn't get nervous again when we start our little money maker back up again. It's all about the power of the train. No body gonna mess with the power of that train inside you. That power's what drives you.

Man, I hope D figures his stuff out. I think he will. Maybe I should suck it up and buy myself a new glove for our next hustle. Then maybe the dude won't blow my hand off. Shoot man, I know I deserved it but that fast ball hurt!

I wonder what would have happened had Sofe not shown me him practicing down at the field? I probably would have still hated the dude. And why do I care so much what Sofe thinks? It's like, she used to be one of the guys, and now, she's kinda a honey. And she looked smokin' that day. For some reason, I just can't get her outta my mind...................................................

Favorite Ficitonal Heroes

Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Oooh

Harry Potter, from the Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling, is my favorite fictional hero. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, he continuously fights for the freedom of everyone in the Magical World. From the moment Voldemort killed his parents, Harry was left with the mark of being the chosen one, leaving him to either kill Voldemort, or die himself.

Most people would go into hiding, afraid of death. But Harry, only a teenager, takes the challenge head on and with the help of his friends and teachers is able to start learning how to defeat his opponent.

Reading the books, you really get into his character as the Author describes how he feels at almost every moment. You would never think about how people, warriors, or people in the army, feel as they have almost no choice but to fight in battle. This series really got me thinking about it all, and I'm sure other people too. And not only that, but the feelings he feels are so real. He's an actual person, just like you and I. He feels all the usual teenage things, the stress of school, first love, and has to deal with real life issues. But he also has the stress of being the only one able to rid everyone in the magical and non-magical world of the war thrust upon them. The relation of emotions to him is what makes it very interesting to me, not to mention the similarities between their war, and World War II.

What does it mean to do math? What does math look like? Where do you find math? Who uses it?

Math is everywhere, and that's what I love about it. Because since everything uses it, it can always be solved. So no matter how long it takes you to figure out a problem, there is always a right answer and a way to solve. Now I'm not saying I want to do that, but the fact that I could if I wanted to Is exciting. When you solve math problems in class, it helps to look at them as real world problems v.s. pointless busy work. And the fact that everything you learn can, and most likely will, be used makes it that much more entertaining to complete. Math doesn't have a specific look, like almost like air. Although, unlike air, it can be unseen, or written on a sheet of paper. The best part is math is used by everyone. Our brains automatically compute things when we do every day tasks such as shopping, skateboarding, and even surfing. While in a store you calculate the price of items you want to buy into your budget, or how many of something you need. When playing sports your brain has to calculate the exact time to make a play. Math is so important to our everyday lives, and most people never take the time to realize it.

What is physics? Are we doing physics? Where can you find it? Who uses it?

Physics is a type of science that calculates many different things such as velocity, speed, momentum, and mass. Like math, it is used to solve many real world problems. In our class we use it for things such as labs. In Class so far we have used physics to solve problems like "What affects the speed of a pendulum?"
