The Teen Era

Its been a long time since I started blogging, back then I barely knew what blogging is. I had to write every day, I don't do that anymore, even though I probably should to practice typing and writing. My sister says that I am a teenager now. I'm twelve. In my school district, 6th grade is still in Elementary, but elsewhere not so much. I think I act very much like one as well, though I'm not sure what that means. I haven't shown myself that I'm responsible or what not, so yeah. I thought it would be different.

Computer

My dad has 3 computers at home right now, my mom has 3, and we have a bunch of unused desktops lying around and gathering dust, not to mention the amount of mobile devices. In light of this, when we were assigned a math project to interview, I decided to survey my classmates on how many computers they had at home, I expected at most 10, but some people had as many as 27, and when I further probed, I found that only a small fraction of them were actually used on a day to day basis. In the future, I have to take this info and do boring stuff, such as find the average, the range, and "analyze" it to make a poster, but enough of that, I was legitimately interested in this sort of stuff (my dad, on the other hand, compared this topic's usefulness to eating food).

Does this prove that we use computers too much? kind of, at school we had this other survey question "How long do you spend on the computer each week on non-school related things?" Answered varied from 0 (probably a lie) to 40. 

Okay, finally, I would like to share a bit more about the results. In class, lots of people asked me questions on what counted as a computer "Like my computer, or all the computers in the house?" and "Does it have to belong to me?" This inflated the results a bit, but it gave me more info.

Thank you, that was a summary of my survey's summary. I don't know why I did this.

Laze and Craze

The past spring break was very interesting. I was out a total of 5 out 9 days for vacation. On this topic I have extremely mixed feelings. I really wanted to do my projects, but my dad pointed out that a few days wouldn't affect much anyway. Now coming back, the turtle rock academic challenge is an extremely pressing issue. Its technically an optional project, but I have to do it anyways. It includes 3 school run events, writing 5 book reviews according to a template, and doing 8 hours of math, and 5 hours of typing not including things done at school. I am just starting to pick up steam. While it has been hard, right now it seems like just another nail in a complicated school year.
