Hello, and welcome to the World of Physics. Considering this is my first post, I feel it necessary to describe myself a little. First and foremost, I'm a huge fan of gaming, so a majority of my posts will likely discuss their insane simulations of physics. In addition, I'm a Boy Scout, currently working towards my eagle rank. I'm great with technology, and took several classes in programming over the course of my high school career. In the future, I hope to study programming further, as well as game design, and I would ideally like to break my way into the video game industry. For a slightly more realistic career choice, I simply want to be a computer programmer. This is part of the reason I'm taking Physics C this year. Especially in the case of game design, understanding physics allows for the creation of much more realistic animations and events. On the other hand, I also really like learning how a lot of stuff works. This year, I hope to learn much more about physics on the quantum level, as I find the lack of decisive data on the field interesting. Aside from that, I have no idea what to expect from this class, so I guess I'm excited simply to see what it holds. Well, that's the end of that. If you managed to sit through that entire wall of text, you have my utmost respect. Take care, and you'll be hearing from me again soon.

My name is Peter Martin and I'm a senior this year at IHS. I am captain of the IHS X-Country team and I also like to swim and play tennis. Other interests I have are based in music and art. I want to become a musician with my focus instrument as Guitar though I also Trombone, Bass Trombone, Bass, and dabble in Banjo and Ukulele. I like to write songs and sing. I want to go to college for music performance. Fun fact about myself is that my dad lives in Hamlin so when I go to his house I get to walk to the lake and see goats in my backyard. I wanted to take Physics because I wanted to have a science class this year. I wanted a science class because after you take them you can always view the world in a better understanding. I know in physics there will be a lot of opportunity for hands on projects so I'm looking forward to that. I look forward to learning more this year though admittedly, not always the homework!
