Calculus

I love calculus. I thought I should just throw that out there.... What I don't like however, is when you know you are doing your calculus right, but the online computer program with which you have to submit your homework keeps telling you your answer is wrong. I mean, come on people! We all know that the indefinite integral of the acceleration function -9sin(-3t) with respect to time equals -3cos(-3t) + C. And with the given condition that at t=0, the velocity function equals 1, then we should be able to conclude that C = 4, therefore the final correct answer is -3cos(-3t)+4. Am I right?!?!??? Seriously, you do it and see what answer you get because mine obviously isn't working.

Hesitation

Do you ever have those moments when you're all alone, but there are people you don't know all around you, and you really need to do something, but you hesitate because they might think you're nerdy?

Well, I just had one. But then I realized I was in the Physics building, and I didn't care anymore.

My Post-Game Comments:

I like Utah. In fact, I love them. I love everything about them. I love their program, I love their fans, I love everything... I think the whole university, their fans and their organization, is full of class... I respect them, and they deserve it.

The Chase

So the other day as I was riding Trax to school and staring blankly out the window, we were stopped at an intersection when a tall, lurpy man came into view. He ran across the street into the parking lot next to us. Well, he wasn't really running... it was more of a jog. He had long slow strides, was wearing a black hoody over his head, and was carrying what looked strangely like a purse in his left arm... kind of like a football. My first thought was, "Dude! That guy just stole somebody's purse!" But that theory quickly died because he wasn't hardly running at all. It was like he was in slow motion.... But then, another man came into view. A shorter, chubbier man who looked like he was wearing clothes indicative of a police officer or security guard. He was also running.... or at least trying to. His velocity was much slower than that of the first man, but he looked like he was pushing hard. He even grabbed what looked like a radio on his chest and spoke into it as he trudged along.....clearly calling for back up.... So I was right the first time! This was a highway purse robbery! That guy really did steal somebody's purse, and he really was jogging to get away from the authorities- JOGGING because well, that's all he needed to do. He just sort of looked like he was merely taking a leisurely prance through the parking lot, and not like he was a criminal on the run.

It was kinda funny.

At least I thought so.

But then again, I guess it wasn't really all that funny for whoever the victim was... or the officer.... I hope the culprit was apprehended in the end.

But I hope we can all learn a lesson from this one.... For all you thieves out there:
You can jog, but you can't hide.

Are you serious!?

So KJZZ is no longer showing any regular season Jazz games. What the heck? This makes me really, really mad.

Well now they can't be called KJZZ anymore. That would just be stupid. They should change their name to NOJZZ. I mean, why keep the name KJZZ if they don't even show any JAZZ GAMES ANYMORE!??!???!!!!??!!!!!

I'm just a little annoyed.

That's all.

NEVERMORE

So, I am unemployed once again. I did manage to get a job though; between now and the last time I posted anything. I worked at a lovely little company which shall remain nameless, but I quickly became FedUp with it and have since moved on.... I'm thinking outside the BOX if you will..... Yeah, that TRAILER LOADED WITH PACKAGES has been SHIPPED, if you know what I'm saying.....

Yeah it wasn't working too well with school and all, but I was able to save most of what I made which was great. I wasn't crazy about it, but overall it was a pretty good job.

Now my job is to get the money my friend owes me for mowing all those lawns for him.

The MVMM

This summer has been pretty darn lazy. For most of the time I have been unemployed. "Funemployed".... yeah ok, it was a pretty fun most of the time. However, two wonderful and temporary job opportunities were offered to me and I GLADLY excepted them.

I have two friends who are big on the lawn mowing scene. They are the grass giants, the trimming tycoons of their neighborhoods. Anybody's who's anybody has their lawn cut by these teenaged entrepreneurs. Respectively, they dominate the lawn business in their own wards.

A few weeks ago, Friend 1 went on vacation and allowed me to mow his lawns for the week. These last couple of weeks Friend 2 has been out of town and has hired me to do his lawns in his absence. I'm a lawn mowing substitute. It's a great job. All together I mowed 21 lawns at an average of $23.43 each, and at an average rate of $18.13 an hour. Not bad. Combined with the two lawns of my own that I mow, I made more like $20.35 an hour during those 3 weeks.

I did have to borrow my mother's minivan, take out the back seat, and stuff the lawn mower and other equipment in there, but it all worked out awesomely.

So if you ever need someone to mow your lawn for you while your out of town, just give me a call. I am the MiniVan Mower Man................ Yes! That's what I'll be when I grow up! A substitute mower!

Discovery

Today for lunch I had leftovers. I made a cheeseburger with a piece of ham on it. It was amazing. I call it..... The Hamburger.

Question:

What should I be when I grow up?

Last week

I mowed lawns all week. It was awesome. I hope I get paid a lot. The end.
