aww so sad. last journal of the year. i think...
this weekend i was super busy and didnt have time to take quality pictures so im ending this with a video. in this vid, im at a camp where we had kids from japan with us. this is the end of a intense water balloon toss game. to win the game, you are supposed to extend the time you catch the balloon so that the force it hits your hand is spread out over the time. i didnt want to win so i just beamed my balloon at my partner, which a lot of kids are doing in the aftermath. see how the balloon is travelling in a parabolic motion. wow. the balloons want to keep traveling in the same motion but another forces stops it, mainly a body or the ground, and it pops.
uh. this is all i can think of right now cuz the caffeine is wearing off.
bye bye

vrrrrrrrrmmm

earlier today my brother was watching a playoff game on espn while i was eating lunch. during a commercial he flipped up a channel and ended up watching drag racing. i never really watched a race before because it didnt really look interesting but it actually is because some races are determined by a few miliseconds and some races are determined by a couple of second becasue the cars are all designed differently. this remined me a lot about the mousetrap cars we had to make. the car everyone wants has a low moment of inertia because the race only lasts for a couple of seconds so the wheels start spinning easily. the equation is I=mr2 (that means squared). also, you would want wheels with some traction so that it makes your wheels spin faster initially. i dont know where they stationed the mike but i did get a chance to experience the dopler effect.

i learned that drag racing is kind of fun to watch when you dont have anything to do :)
