Alg 2 question for umm... I forgot. c;


So um... the top part is just a visual to myself to see what the question is asking for. I might have gotten rates mixed up but that doesn't matter.
Okay, well the chart is just there to organize my thoughts.  Basically the equations (based off of d=rt) I can make from the given information are:
(because idk how to do subscripts here, let a= the first "time". Let b= the second length of time.)
d=45a
d=40b
Oh, and I guess I better clear up that d=x.
Okay, so. According to the chart, if:
a+b=4 (hours) <----plug this into "t"
Then x+x=2x. <----- plug this into "d"
And we also add the rates! (40+45=85 mph) <----- plug this into "r"
So we plug all those values into the formula d=rt, and we get
2x=(85)4
2x=340
x=170.

Believe me, just looking at the work is a LOT simpler than how I explained this.  Look for me before school tomorrow if you still don't get it! I can probably explain it a lot better face to face than on here... gomenasai!  >.<

Well, now that I've read all my manga updates (Goong was so awesome omgomgomgomgomg!!!) I am now going to actually do my own homework... that is, the opening statements for mock trial, the  chem worksheet + studying for the chem test, ch 3 cornell notes for history, my TRF forms, read and review the acadec section for my lecture tomorrow, oh and not to mention ALL questions, summaries, and learning logs for the last week and a half. *sigh* They work us like dogs here...

Same old, same old

I woke up at 2.30 and took a shower, came upstairs because I got so hungry I didn't care that Caroline was probably causing a ruckus up there.  And causing a ruckus she was. No. IS.
She misplaced her phone and, like always, is blaming the rest of us, saying that we took it.  Then she threatens Mom and Dad saying that if they don't start treating her with respect then she'll leave again. "I've done it twice before, I can do it again." I'm sitting at the computer eating a salad thinking LEAVE! PLEASE! WE DON'T CARE! because honestly, what kind of threat is that? Because she was making such a racket, Mom gets pissed and starts looking for the phone too and complaining that  Caroline is a thief.  As before Caroline left for Missouri, Mom is the one who finds the phone and Caroline starts screaming "DON'T THROW IT DON'T THROW IT!" So Mom doesn't throw it. She puts it in her pocket.  But Caroline immediately assumes Mom did something to it so she starts screaming to Dad.  Dad is trying to get some sleep so he shouts at Mom and gets the phone from her.  He throw the phone on the couch and goes back to sleep.  I was cleaning up in the kitchen so I don't know what happened next but Mom was telling Caroline to leave because Mom can't push her out, Caroline shouted don't touch me, ran to the other side of the room and threw something, then went wailing into her bedroom and slammed the door.  As I'm blogging about this, Mom shows me her arm, with 3 or 4 red scratches.  As before, Caroline inflicts some sort of injury on Mom that could legally get her in big shiiii, especially now that she's 19.
This is just for the record.  Thought I'd let you know just why I hate Caroline.

Sorry for the really bad verb tense agreement.  I'll post something light-hearted in a few hours to make up for this crappy entry.  Here, chew on this until then:
The question I'm asking myself is, "Taylor Swift?!". I don't know why I have to post this song, since I'm not a big fan.  I guess I just do.
*sigh* What a cruddy start to my day.

The Thing (no, not the one from "The Adams Family")

So, the big "Thing" which has been wrecking my sub- and not-so-sub- conscious lately: I am still  putting off my summer homework. Seeing how it is 2.42 am on Friday, August the... 6th (?), and I start school at 8 am Wednesday the 11th, I am soon to be in big BIG shi..itake mushrooms!
Anyway, the other "Thing" is... my dearly beloved sister has come home from Missouri and I am oh so overjoyed. Especially because she broke up with her lame boyfriend and keeps complaining about that and keeps telling me to get my eyebrows done and tells me to get the hair dryer from the apartment downstairs and I had to gather up all my clothes from upstairs and lock it downstairs so she wouldn't steal it like she always does and she keeps accusing me of stealing her iPod. Sorry, was that a run-on sentence? I kinda just needed to get that out there.

On much brighter, less stressful notes: manga/anime commentary!
Shiki: I am absolutely lovin' this series. It's like, so... what words should I use to describe it? Mystery, suspense, Japanese, bishie, and vampire!  But like, not in the cliche, Twilight-and-the-like-inspired sense.  You know how people seem to be obsessed with strange and mysterious epidemics that suddenly hit the modern world?  Well, it's kinda got the feel of that, but only because the villager doctor and monk don't suspect something supernatural... such as vampires. By the way, the "vampire" thing is so NOT a spoiler.  It's super obvious from episode 2 that the deaths are a cause of vampires or something, which makes me more than a little frustrated with the main characters.  Then again, they weren't exactly expecting something that's not supposed to exist... but COME ON PEOPLE, HAVEN'T YOU EVER WATCHED A HORROR FLICK? [link to show page on Hulu]
Trace: Speaking of typical Sci-fi, you've probably heard the template for this storyline over and over.  You know, the "30 years ago supernatural creatures came to Earth and caused utter destruction, ruthlessly killing human lives.  For some strange reason, some humans were mutating and also started having supernatural powers..." cliche?  Yeah, that's pretty much the basis of this story, except that this is pretty much my first time reading a Sci-fi manga with this type of storyline, so I'm pretty interested... for now.  I mean, on top of the not very original story idea, the presentation is just a little confusing (although that's probably just the fault of me reading in it's unofficial form), and the art's not particularly aesthetically pleasing.  In truth, I'm only reading it because I caught up with the "Noblesse" updates, but well... I think it's progressing okay enough. [link to manga page on Mangafox]
Black Butler II:  ♥!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If ya watched the first season and were disappointed with the outcome so ya decided not to watch the second season: WATCH THE NEXT SEASON YOU'LL ABSOLUTELY LOO~VE IT.  Claude (the new butler) is totally on par with Sebby! But Ciel is way awesomer than that brat Alois. [link to show page on Hulu]

Um... well, there's more I want to say but Becca seems pretty annoyed and Mom and Dad just woke up and will probably be mad that I'm on the computer at 3.10 am so BAI!

I Forgot

That I have a link to this blog on my Facebook. This normally wouldn't be a problem, but I have contacts there that I would rather not see some of my posts, seeing how I don't necessarily speak in the most polite manner here.  Well, in the end, I don't really care.  They ought to know that I have this kind of side to me, too, right?

Anyway, I went to the morning service at church today! The first time since mid-June, so it kinda feel weird.  Plus, none of the rest of my family could make it today, so I was by myself.  I'm not really close with the other kids, I guess... probably because I don't show up for months at a time.
Ah, well I wanted to post my notes on the service here, but reflecting, I don't know if I should, seeing as that's also stuff I don't want all my Facebook contacts to see... and not because it's "bad", but because... well it's a different kind of "bad".  It's also kinda corny and makes me look kinda... slow, I suppose.  And as I said in an email I sent recently, "I'm an inherent egoist! Why would I ever do that?"

So, that's all I'm gonna say.  Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, everyone! :)

EDIT: WAIIT!
But, but... I don't WANNA sensor this blog just because I'm scared of what some people'll think of me. (HAHA, I sound like one of those corny teenybopper books that I used to read all the time).  So, I think I will post my notes. Later!

Laughs-a-doodles.

Yeah, I know. "Enough with the ridiculous titles!" Gomen. *does the dogeza*

Recently I've been obsessed with the dogeza, for two reasons. First, because I'm recalling certain episodes of "Skip Beat" (that Kyoko is so quick to bow down and apologize to Ren! He must be so amused...), and second because I'm reading "Ocha Nigosu".

Summary: Funebashi Masaya often gets picked on by delinquents and gangsters because of his scary demonic appearance [picture provided to your left], and in order to avoid getting beat up he knocks them out first, and is thus sucked into "a chain of violence".  However, he's actually a kind, peace-loving, Lohas kind of guy [what "Lohas" means, I have nooo idea] who wants to stop his violent lifestyle.  So anyways, he joins the tea ceremony club.  End of summary.

Anyway, yesterday I finally got the notice about OneManga closing down.  Although I mentioned this subject in an earlier blog, I wasn't sure if it was actually closing down since I only heard about it from comments on the OneManga facebook page and e-mails from friends (oh, now's a good time to play "I Heard It Through the Grapevine". I've been playing that like crazy on Band Hero. LOL).
Of course, listening to this reminds me "Kung Fu Fighting", which I also play a lot on Band Hero.  Is there something up with me and this type of music?  Recently I've also been playing rock stations really loudly in my room, like some sort of delinquent. And dressing in tight black clothing and wearing multiple bracelets! And sleeping at irregular hours! I think I've become a problem child! PSHT. As if.

Whatever. I gotta go!
