Vacum Society!!!

So David and Joan Webb from some science place that dedicates their studies to vacumes came to our class on tuesday. They were an elderly couple and they were very nice. They were explaining that the vacume reduces pressure to a lower pressure than atmospheric pressure. It was very interesting to learn about vacumes, and I got to show off my common sense knowledge for the class when he was asking questions =P. I learned that there is no such thing as a perfect vacum. In the sports world though, we had a track meet today and I did really good. I got first place in long jump, 18 feet 5 inches, first place in the 400, third in the 200 and first in the 4x400 relay. It was very exciting and I felt really good about the meet

3/15-3/20

So I was stressed out this week because I was deciding wether or not I should do football or not, and I think I have some legitimate reasons. I really want a job this summer, and if I do football then I am not going to be able to have any time for myself because of summer conditioning. I also feel like I wouldn't be doing it for myself, I feel like I'm going to be doing it for my friends and that isn't right. I could go on all day, but the point is is that I've decided football isn't for me. Soccer is my LOVE!!! I'm going to find a class 1 CY team for summer and go on tournaments around the state. I'm getting jealous of my best friend because he's been going on all of these tournamens and he is in San Diego as I speak, for a tournament. And another friend is at the State Cup!!! A few weeks ago, he played the Idaho State Champs and tied them...I've been getting soooo jealous, so this summer I'm going to focus just on soccer.

I have been a little stressed lately because of my parents, they're just getting on my nerves and it's getting to me. I have started track and today is my first meet at Terranova, I am very excited because I am a very good runner and I'm sure I will do excellent. Chemistry is hard!!!!! it's not fair! It doesn't make sense at all!!!! My brother and I went on our first snowboarding trip this weekend and it was amazing, we went to Tahoe and snowboarded with his friends, it was awesome, It was warm the whole time we were up there.

So I havn't blogged for over a month, and I don't really have a lot to say!!! Soccer has been in full swing and were having an okay season. I have 3 goals, and many many assists, you can look at the PAL standings at http://www.smcoe.k12.ca.us/pal/. I'm doing track and football next, so Im going to be very busy in the coming months :)

Like Dissolves Like

Like dissolves like means that substances are more likely to dissolve in other substances with similar chemical properties. It is most often used when discussing polar and nonpolar solvents. For example, oil will not dissolve in water because oil is nonpolar and water is polar. Basically, a polar solvent will generally dissolve polar solutes and sometimes ionic solutes, and a nonpolar solvent will generally dissolve nonpolar solutes.

This week has been just a little hectic in school, all of my classes are cramming in for finals. It's a little stressful. I have some ligament problem in my knee and the coaches are'nt letting me play which is annoying because I've played with it for a long time. We played Riorden on Wednesday and we won 5-0, which is good, but it's annoying because I wasn't there to share a win with my team, I was really mad. I'm going to the doctors on Monday, but i really wanna get back on the field. Long week for me, UGH!

Late again...sorry!

I know that I havn't been on wth my blogging, but that will change i swear! and I havn't been on since the 8th of November, so i'm going to blog from then until now! The 3rd of December!!! in November I was sick for a few days, so i fell behind in school a bit and ended up with a D in chemistry and my parents really started getting on my case with my grades. But i knew that the blogging, test retakes, and the molecule project were coming up, so I started focusing on those and i think that I did a very good job on them, so i'm not really tripping right now. Thanksgiving was AMAZING, the food was really good. I don't have a big family at all, so it was me, my parents, my half Brother, his Dad, and his Grandma at my house. We had a 17 pound turkey, AMAZING MASHED POTATOES, some string beans and bok choi with broccoli. I made pumkin pie for desert and it was really good, i'm very happy with that. But two days before Thanksgiving I got in trouble. (duh duh duhhhhhhhhhhhh) I was out at 1230 to see a friend, at night, but I had to sneak out to do it. It was in Hillsbourough and I was getting frustrated because I couldn't find the house, so I was speeding. This cop THOUGHT that I was drunk but I wasn't, I was completely sober. Anyways he pulled me over and asked for my liscence and registration and made me call my parents to come pick me up (which they weren't too happy about since I snuck out) and he called for backup, because he thought I was still drunk and high and he called for backup. THANK GOD my friends mom was on duty; she was the backup. When she got there she put in a good word for me, so he didn't pull my liscence until I was 18 AND I didn't get a speeding ticket. So I dodged a huge bullet. Of course my parents got mad at me, but I'm not really worried about my punishment(s) at all because I can focus on school now. The day after that happened I had a soccer game against Carlmont, which we tied 2-2. I scored the first goal of the season for Mills Frosh Soph team = ). I also started talking to a new girl that i'm pretty fond of. My friend Ally introduced me to her and we've hit it off great, so I'm excited about that. We also played Sacred Heart at Mills on the 2nd this month; we lost 4-0. and i got cleted in the shin really hard!!! I have a FAT bruise, which sucks. Well that's all I have for now; BYE!!!
