10/27 Shi

This morning, CH was on her A-game so to speak. She approached our table in the same calm and refined manner as usual and looked around for the book problems (pg 84 #47-57) when she realized that I didn't have my homework problems laid out on my desk. Being a crafty and resourceful student, I took it upon myself to present something-- a token offering in a sense. Because, as everyone knows, something is better than nothing.

Not today.

As I pulled out my physics homework today, something strange happened. It morphed from the actual homework into yesterday's homework (but with numbers 47-57) for some reason. I didn't know what was going on but when CH saw my homework she did a double take. Just like Sherlock Holmes, she used her discerning eye and then realized that that wasn't the homework that was due today but was in fact yesterday's homework disguising as today's homework. Appalled by this, she exclaimed "Sonny, you're a slime-ball." I was also surprised by this strange event. However, as I glanced around the room, I realized I was once again in the infamous Room 266!

Looking up, I realized that the all-knowing board was back. On it it prophesied "Turn in HAC check and Blue Sheet", "Check pg 84 47-57", and "Turn in Pair Check". Just as before, we did all of things that the board beckoned. How exactly the board knew this is still a mystery to me. CH went over questions two, three, and four, all of which I got correct (of course). We then went on to finish the pair check. After which, she asked if we had any questions over the homework. This was the part of the class in which I sat awkwardly without any homework to actually check. Luckily, this only lasted for a short while and we were soon on our way to working on the reviews. Which, incidentally, are both due tomorrow! Isn't that exciting?

Also, there's review session after school on Friday in CH's room if you would like to review. Bring in questions to ask or you'll be sitting there with nothing to do.

QOD: In relative motion problems, we have to add vectors. How do you know when to use ROXY? --ch

When vectors aren't going in the same direction or in opposite, it's appropriate to use ROXY. ie. When wind is blowing in a direction perpendicular to the plane. That creates a right triangle which is needed in ROXY equations.
