Introducing Bob enright
I am a senior at irondeqoit, i play lacrosse and plan on going on to college next year. I am taking regent’s physics to further my knowledge of science and also because i thought that it was an interesting topic. I would like to come out of the class with a greater knowledge of science as a whole. I am not very nervous about the class except for the new material that i have to memorize. I plan on staying on top of the work load, staying focused in class and working with my classmates.

Physics in falling
So, the other day I was walking down my driveway after it had just rained. I was in a rush to get to school because I have physics everyday, which I just love so much. While on the way to my car I slipped and fell. I fell due to the low amount of friction my shoes against the slippery driveway had, or in this case didn't have. The smoother something is, the less friction it has. This is called the nature of the surface. Kinetic friction is what friction while sliding is called and static friction is not sliding.

things I have learned in physics
I have learned many things in physics. In the first few weeks of the class, I felt very confused. As the class went on, I learned that physics is a necessity in life. I've learned things like we never actually touch anything, we just feel it. Also, I know how to find the angle at which a football is thrown into the air. We use physics in our everyday life and need it to understand how everything in the world works. Also one of the things I found most interesting is when we learned about falling cats. Cats can twist their spine while they are falling so that they always land feet first.

Schools Grants & College Scholarships
Finding out ways and means of how you can pursue your higher education with the high costs can be a cause of concern for both parents and students. But with proper research of the variousSchool Grants schemes for financial aid or college grants will give you a solution especially because some of these aids include federal school grants where the students don’t have to pay the aid after graduation and it can be utilized to cover ant expenses while attending college. Federal grants is decided on the financial need of the student taking into account the amount that the family can offer in the section of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) report; so the student has to be perfectly honest when he fill up the FAFSA application form so that we will be eligible of receiving the federal grants. Once you have been awarded the grant, it is usually deposited in your student account, deposited into your bank or paid by check. The Pell Grant and the Federal Supplement Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) are the two types of Federal Student Grants.
In many colleges they may have funds set apart as student college grants beside the two Federal Student Grants mentioned above. The details of these college grants will be available in the school’s financial aid office which has to be followed up and taken advantage of as early as possible since most of these grants are very limited and gets distributed quickly. Filling up the application for the FAFSA is the first step that needs to be done to avail Federal Student Aid of any kind and over and above this; most schools have their own forms which will have to be filled provided that you qualify for any of the local or private financial aid that is available. Be sure that you know about your family’s financial resources as this information is of prime importance when it comes to deciding your real requirement for financial aid to avail such student grants. All student grants are reserved for students whose families deserve financial aid, it is worth mentioning that if you deserve such grants, it is worth looking into all avenues including student loans and work study

Since I started taking Honors Physics this term, I realized everything we do, involves physics. This seems like an easy enough concept to memorize, but it can be wierd to think about. Bailliexx13, in his/her blog "Physics in studying midterms" on 1/26/14, made me realize that physics is involved when you are even studying. He/she talks about how moving your papers around involve physics. Just think, you are apply physics as you study it! I don't see where we would be without physics. I can't imagine anything, any task, that does not involve physics. In a way, physics controls our lives.

In response to cat density
Shabba Ranks shed light on an area enduring very high cat density. As said in their post, cat density's characteristics resemble that of mass density (how much mass there is spread throughout an amount of space) and charge density (how much charge is spread throughout an amount of space), but it deals with cats. Doesn't it seem like cat videos and physics go hand in hand?
Here is a link to the video:
P.S. I take it that "cat enthusist" is the politically correct term for "crazy cat lady"

Physics Everywhere
A few years ago, it was fall and my dad was making my neighbor clean the leaves out of our gutters. My neighbor had to climb a distance of 30 feet to get on top of the roof. While he was up there, he accidentally slipped. He fell with a constant acceleration of 9.81 m/s ^2 due to gravity. And his speed was .5 meters per second for the whole two seconds it took him to reach the ground. He was very upset after he fell, but he was alright.

Why am I in AP-C Physics?
Recently I've been thinking: Do i really want to take C in high school? So far i feel completely overwhelmed but have been waiting for that "ah-HA!" moment that seems to be drifting away. I think of the students that are taking ap econ, calc BC and physics C, and they seem to be doing just fine, so why can't i seem to handle ap econ, calc AB and physics C? I would feel quite frankly, like a lame quitter if i dropped out, and even the term "dropping out" has, "you fail" written all over it to me. But at the same time I'm afraid that i've overloaded myself and all my grades will suffer from it especially when the material gets more difficult. And the reason i'm doubting my choice to take C is that out of all my AP's, im most confused in this one. Also I researched and most the colleges i'm applying to wont take 2 ap physics credits. Also the curriculum of the degree i want (5 year professional degree in architecture) in the schools i have in mind wont even let me take physics 101 until my sophomore year (Syracuse), or don't require me to take it at all (Cornell). Which i thought was strange but all electives say "free in department elective" or "free out of department elective." But if i do have to take it again in college, are the benefits of taking it now worth all the stress this year? Additionally, if i end up using it as an actual architect which i assume i will, I would rather take it closer to when i'll actually use it so i remember the material. In short, I really don't want to be taking this course *at this time.* Don't get me wrong, i'm interested in the concepts and material, I just don't know if i can handle it right now with my other aps, the truck load of college stuff we have to take care of, and general hygiene.
sincerely
Stressed Out / Worried :banghead)
