  • Homework help!!

    Any physic majors or even just someone good at math?


     I finally figured out how to make a graph on my graphing calculator, but I’m still little stuck. In case it’s too small, “Consider the following data which represent position vs time for a moving object. Use the graphing ca    lculator to plot this data, then do linear regression using the graphing calculator to determine the analytical expression which best represents this data. Make a rough draft sketch of the plot to the right of the data, then fill in the information at the bottom. 
    Time(s) 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
    Position (m) 5, 7.2, 9.4, 11.5, 13.3, 15.1, 17.0, 18.9, 21.0, 23.2, 25.0
    Equation which best represents this data: x(t) = ____________

    I don’t understand what it’s asking exactly. 
    When I put the information in my list and do linear regression I get y=ax+b; a= 1.98, b=5.27, r^2= 0.9992992949 r=0.999649586
    Does it want y=1.98x+5.27??
    HELP!!! D:


    I think I have to hand the sheet in tomorrow morning, so if no one is able to help me understand it, I’ll either just guess y=1.98x + 5.27 or try to ask someone else before class.

  • Back to school and back to the doctors

    First day of the semester. I’m only taking physics this semester in order to improve my grade from last fall. 
    I’m either going to use that to help my chances of getting into Medical Diagnostic Sonography program, or boost my chances of getting into a Radiation Therapy Program. I haven’t checked out too much about the Radiation therapy program but I need to. It requires physics too, so if I do choose that path it won’t be a semester wasted I suppose. In spring, I plan to take trigonometry and computer fundamentals because those are the only two things I need to apply for the radiation program. 

    I have the same professor as I did last fall. He make a joke asking if I was there to teach when he saw he walk up to get my hand outs. I sort of laughed and said yeah. He asked why I was back and I said I was improving my grade so I’d have a better chance at a program at UAMS. He said he expects me to help my row out. I smiled and said I will. I’m nervous about that expectation because I feel sooo rusty! Hopefully I’ll get the swing of things soon. 
    I’ve been working on the hand outs since I got home and I’m doing okay. I’m going to need to memorize/refresh on the conversions because those aren’t too strong. And I got to figure out my graphing calculator better. Hopefully I can find a video on the internet since Trey’s gone for two weeks for some Active Duty Orders. He’s in Wynne, Arkansas and he doesn’t have service there. :( He was in Searcy about an hour ago and sent me a text to let me know he was safe and that he loved me. :) Other than that, I probably won’t here from him much, if any. 
    I also need to get online and start the online homework. I’ll either start that tonight after work, or tomorrow. 
    I’ve been running more which I like. :) A month or so ago, I made a new personal record of a 6:45 mile. Well, on the 9th I went running with Trey at the airbase gym and I ran a mile in 5:52!! He did 5:22-5:30 (I had my phone as a stopwatch). I was so freakin’ excited about my new time! :D Then o the 13th, we were there running again and I ran a mile in 5:47!!! I was SOOOO HAPPY!! It was funny because Trey had made a status about running a mile in 5:22 and someone commented saying that they hated tall people. He responded saying he wasn’t all that tall (5’11″) and that he saw a 5’2″ female come in just 30 seconds behind him! Haha, it makes me excited when I do awesome. I met with the APN/LPC, Tara, at school who prescribes me citalopram (generic celexa) today and was talking to her about my life and mentioned my run time and she nicknamed me “Sub-six” :) She said back in high school and college she did track and ran sprints and she could never break 7 minutes, so me getting under 6 minutes was really amazing! She wants me to start competing and doing races because she thinks I could be super competitive. 
    On a semi-related note. I set up a doctors appointment at Ortho-Arkansas for Friday to have my knees and ankles checked out. They’ve hurt since I was 9 or 10 and I’m 20 now. It feels like it’s in the joint or bones. I went to the doctor when I was 10, but they just said it was possibly juvenile arthritis and to take ibuprofen and talk to some-joint-surgeon if that doesn’t work. I’ve done gymnastics from 2-11 and then cheerleading from 11-15, then 17-18, so it’s fair to say my joints have gotten pounded quite a bunch but still, I’m only 20. I shouldn’t have frequent, excruciating pain in my knees and ankles. I’ve been trying to ice it more and use ibuprofen less because I’m tired of taking so many pills. Hopefully, they’ll be able to figure out what’s wrong with me and help. I’m too young to constantly be in pain and to feel crippled.
    Anyways, I’m going to try to get back to reading my chapter in physics until I have to go to work.

  • Sweet texts :) Restarting my collection

    I was texting Trey last night and I was joking around and being silly and a little overdramatic. 

    He has to work today from 5-8pm but was planning on going to the airbase gym after work with a friend (who ended up bailing today) and he invited me to go. I figured I’d try to kill time on his side of town because otherwise I’d drive an extra 30 miles today going back and forth. He said I could just stay at his house, but I didn’t know if his parents would be okay with that. 
    He said it should be fine if I just stayed in his room and wasn’t going up and down the stairs & I said I’d stay there! Unless I had to pee… then I’d go across the hall to the bathroom because I’m pretty sure peeing on his carpet was a no-no. 
    He laughed and agreed that was a no-no and I said “I’ll just read my book and watch my rapey show” (that’s what he calls law and order SVU lol, I like watching it). 
    “Lol sounds like a plan xp”
    “Yay :) and worst case scenario, I get told to leave and I pout all the way to Barnes and Nobles and try to read try my tears of rejection, sorrow, and confusion xpxp”
    “Don’t do that Briffy lol”
    “Hehe, Briffy (my nickname) might’ve been a witttllleee overdramatic. But I would be sad and confused and I would probably go to Barnes and Nobles to read my library book”
    “Okay, no tears xp be happy”
    “I try :) I generally am when I’m with you :D I just sometimes feel disliked or misunderstood at your house and that sucks. Or I get blamed for B.S. like the blueberries* and that sucks, but I’m generally happy as a clam! (* There were blueberries bought earlier this week and his Mom wasted a bunch of them in a chocolate cake. We went to the gym and when we got back they were pretty much all gone. His Dad came downstairs like 20 secs after we got home and we still sort of got accused of eating them. The sisters said they didn’t eat ANY and that there were still a lot after the Mom made the cake. We weren’t home though, so it couldn’t have been us. But no one wants to use common sense around there -.- )
    “I’ve never actually met a clam, but rumor has it they’re very happy xp”

    “Well I’mma marry you lol they’ll deal with it”

    “Aww :) You’re sweet! That makes me happier than all the happy clams in the world! :D ”
    “Lol! Good”
    “That’s a text I’mma keep so I can read it when I’m sad and it’ll cheer me up :) ))”
    I used to have multiple texts that I would never delete in my inbox that were cute/sweet things Trey had sent me :) Then one day, I had my phone in my pocket and I guess it got unlocked and it deleted all my texts in my inbox :( I liked having those messages so I could look at them when I was sad or missing him and it’d cheer me up or make me feel better. So losing them really sucked. 
    At least I have one now that I can save to look at when I need a cheer :) I’ll just have to start my “collection” over again. 

  • First update post-xanga-pocalypse

    I got asked to cover someone’s shift tonight. It’s good because my hours suck this week, but I definitely could’ve used the chance to get to bed early like I was going to try to do. The last two nights I’ve barely slept and I don’t know why. Oh well, gotta make money. 

    I had some super scary stuff going on on Tuesday and while I still don’t want to go into details I very much appreciate the prayers anyone gave for me. I got spectacular news (especially considering I was fearing the worst), so that was a huge relief. I was so anxious and wound up because of that unspoken thing on Tuesday. 
    This semester I’m going to have to put my scholarship on hold and just take Physics again because last year I made a (high) C and I wasn’t accepted into the program I applied for. If I can pull that up to a B(or even better, an A) I’ll improve my chances of getting accepted by a bunch! Plus, at this point, when I reapply I will have completed World Literature (as opposed to be in the middle of taking it) which means I’ll get bonus points for having all my pre-recs taken already. That’s for the Medical Diagnostic Sonography program. 
    I did look into some other options after I wasn’t accepted because I really didn’t have a back up plan. I’m now also interested in Radiation Therapy. It’s a 12 month program offered at a hospital near me. 
    I plan to only take physics this fall and then in spring semester I will take computer fundamentals and trigonometry (because those will be needed for the radiation therapy program) and hopefully ASL2 and two other classes so I can use my scholarship (need 15 hours to use it). If I don’t use it, I’ll either be required to take a full load the next year at school or I’ll lose my scholarship since I can only put it on hold two semesters. We’ll see how that goes. 
    I’m nervous about retaking physics. At least this year it’s my only class so I can really focus on it and hopefully get an A. This summer my hours at build-a-bear were looking better (partly because I asked them to keep me busy while Trey was overseas and partly because they were still in the process of hiring another associate manager). Now they’ve finally got a new associate manager (she’s been here about two weeks) and my hours suck. I was only scheduled to work 8.5 hours this week and now I’ll have 13 hours (because Kelsey asked me to cover her). 
    I’m going to need to look into getting a second (well, third if you count the nursery) job, especially since I’m only taking 3 hours at school this fall. 
    I wish I could find a good paying job near my house that I’d like. But without a degree or special training minimum wage is about all I’m going to be able to make. Any ideas on how to make big money? I’ve joked about stripping but I don’t think I could ever do that. Especially while I’m with Trey. Gotta keep my body for his eyes only :P
    Anyways, things are going pretty well right now. Just working at the nursery, working at Build-A-Bear, working out, and hanging with Trey. My running is really good right now (well, indoors running, the heat outside and the concrete kicks my butt) and I’m getting back into benching with Trey. I feel like my benching went downhill a little since I didn’t have a spot all summer, but I’m getting back into it. 
    I kind of want to get into boxing and/or jujitsu. Trey (and his Dad) think I’d be really good at jujitsu.
    Oh, and things are a little tense with his family. I’m pretty tired of them and sort of pissed at them in general. Luckily, they’re fine with me (to my knowledge), I’m just pissed with them. I can’t wait until Trey and I can move out and we rarely have to see them again. 

  • You aren’t…

  • Rambling about something… Might not even make sense.

    I’ve been sort of busy. Well, I guess I’ve just been unmotivated to write. 

    I’ve been working, spending time with Trey when we’re not both working, working out more, and reading. I’ve been on computer, but when I have been it’s more so been just updating a facebook status or reading people stuff on here or facebook. 
    I have something I wanted to vent about from Monday at the dentist but I’ll save that for later. 
    I guess right now what I want to talk about is something more recent. 
    So Cara had her baby Friday morning. She weighed 7 lbs and some ounces. Her doctor is the biggest moron of a doctor I’ve ever heard of. He rushed the delivery. She wasn’t dilating (hence, not ready). He induced her, gave her an epidural too soon, fucked that up so they had to put her under all the way. And this was all before she was even due. Cara wasn’t overweight and she was little so she should’ve been able to deliver her naturally (which was the plan before the doctor said she “couldn’t”. 
    Anyways, Demi’s healthy and they both came home Sunday night. I got to see her in person for the first time Monday night and after eating dinner with Trey, that’s pretty much all I did. I helped change a diaper because Cara kind of put it off on me “since I’ve probably down more of these than her”. -.- I didn’t mind since it was a pee diaper and not a poo diaper, but whatevers. At least I got to see Demi. Then I held her pretty much for the next 2 hours or so. She’s so little and precious. (Good thing I’m on the depo shot or I’d want one lol.)
    But to get to the point… While downstairs holding Demi, I asked Trey’s Dad a question. We talked a bit and I said something that I told him I didn’t want him repeating. I specifically asked him to not say anything about it… if he had a problem with that he should’ve said something then. 
    This morning I went over to Trey’s house early and got into bed with him. After sleeping a little more we were awake and talking before showering. We weren’t talking about anything in particular, just silly/cute stuff, when he says “I don’t mean to ruin the mood, but… my Dad told me what you two talk about.” 
    I guess I was stupid to trust his Dad, but still, I feel betrayed. Plus, Trey got onto me for talking to his Dad about something he’d preferred I not mentioned, but he’s done the exact same thing (told his Dad and Mom stuff about me, I’d told him specifically to keep quiet). So I’m upset because 1) I got fussed at, 2) I feel betrayed, 3) there’s a double standard, and 4) when I mentioned the thing to him there he lied to my face. 
    I’ll be respectful and not mention what the thing is, but still. I’m really pissed at his Dad. I’m hoping I don’t see him or have to communicate with him for a bit. I need space from his snitching ass. 
    I’m also really upset about the subject discussed. It something silly, really not that big of a deal. But when I ask him about it, he denies it and lies! I can’t reveal to him how I know for a fact that he’s lying but I do know, 100% positive. 
    It’s not the first time this sort of “thing” has occurred and at least this time but not as bad, but I still don’t understand it. I’m going to try to drop it because bringing it up will only cause fighting and it really isn’t an issue, it just bugs me. 
    I have three possible reasons why it might have been done… one idea is not that bad, one is sort of sad, and the other idea is terrifying and horrible. I’m hoping it’s the first idea… but I guess I can’t know for sure. 
    I’ve just got to accept that I don’t know, I need to drop it, and bringing it up will only cause arguments and trouble. 
    Sorry this is so vague. If you think you know what this is about, you can send a message and ask. I won’t necessarily say what it is, but if you’re right I’ll say yes and if not I’ll tell you you’re not. I’m not trying to make this like a game.. I just.. I don’t want people possibly reading other things into it and assuming that’s what’s going on. And if this is so vague that it doesn’t even make sense, sorry. 

  • I LOVE going to the gym! :D

    Totally wasn’t feeling like it, but I dragged my butt to the gym. 


    Ran a mile in 7:15 (not my best, but definitely not my worst),
    Did 6 sets of 15 push ups and sit ups, then one set of 10 for a TOTAL of 100 each.
    Then did 5 pull-ups just because. 

    Had two guys “whispering” stuff about me while I did my push ups and one finally asked how many I had done so far (I was at 60). He asked if I was in the service and I told him no, but my fiance is. (My way of saying don’t flirt with me because my guy can fight for me lol.) He said I was impressive so I thanked him then continued because I didn’t want him trying to chat me up anymore lol. 

    Then after doing 5 pull-ups (yes, I can do more, just preferably not after doing 100 push ups [and I do male military standard push ups, not "girl" pushups]), I had a lady tell me how impressed she was. She asked if I did P90x and I told her no, I just worked out with my fiance who’s in the army lol. She went on about how impressed she was about my pull ups asked how many I could do and I joked she should’ve seen the 100 push ups I just finished lol. 

    Anyways, she was asking about my work outs and said she was happy to see I was helping keep things more balanced in this gym lol. 

    Best of all, she said I was inspirational to her and a motivation!   : ))) Awww! My day is made!

    Both :/ But I’m better now and I don’t do that anymore.

    Yesh, they have :3

    46: have you ever felt like you weren’t good enough?

    A lot! I’m working on that now.
