Randomness... and TUBAS!!

Okay, I'm back from vacation, I have a new little brother, and I've started 7th grade. ALSO, I get to try out the tuba on Monday!!! YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY-YAY-YAY!!!

Too crazy for you? Okay then, I guess... I'll... be bored.

LINK TIME!!!

OKAY... now I'm bored.

(P.S. I'll post more stuff later, when I can actually think of something other than tubas and boredom.)

The Days Grow Shorter...

Confusing title, right? Well, I'll explain it, then. The massive earthquake in Chile actually moved some of the Earth's mass around, making it a little bit thinner, which caused the Earth to spin faster. That doesn't mean that one day is now 23 hours, it just skimmed 1.26 millionths of a second off the day. It'll take 2,174 years for one second to have been lost. According to my calculations, that amount of time will be 68371430399 seconds instead of the normal 68371430400 seconds it normally takes for 2,174 years to pass. After 4,348 years 136742860798 seconds will have passed, instead of the normal 136742860800 seconds, since the Chilean earthquake. That's a lot of math!

ISAT's! Fun, fun, fun! Yea, right.

Well, since the title's confusing, I'll jump right in. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday last week, and today(Tuesday) and tomorrow this week, have been set aside for testing. ISAT testing, really. My least favorite part of the year. At least it's not crammed into one week like it used to be! At the Junior High, there are 3-4 parts, depending on a particular student's grade. 6th graders take Math, Reading, and - my least favorite - Writing. 7th graders take Math, Reading, Writing, and Science - my favorite subject, other than lunch - but I'm not in 7th grade. 8th graders take Math, Reading, and Writing. But I'm in 6th grade, so that's beyond the point. And that's the only personal info I'll give out on here other than my personal opinion. So... ISAT's... well... WIKIPEDIA TIME!! Oh, and the fact that I call them ISAT's does NOT give away what state I live in, because 2 states call them ISAT's. Illinois and Idaho. So... Wikipedia link now! (Actually, I correct myself, 7th graders do not take the Writing ISAT's.) Link: Ok?

Pi - The number with a billion+ decimal places

Pi is a very interesting number. It is equal to the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi <<http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=pi&aq=f&oq=&aqi= <<
P.S. If this post sounds kinda weird and formal-like, it's because I'm not used to blogging. Hopefully my posts will get more casual soon!
