Math Literacy

The end of the week meets me again, and I barely remember it starting. It went by so incredibly fast! I went to a wedding yesterday (Saturday), which was a lot of fun. It was two of my close friends, so it was a lot of fun. She looked absolutely beautiful and he looked nice, too. I love weddings. An accomplishment this week would probably be that I attempted to run... Well, I ended walking mostly. I think I ran for a total of 1 minute out of 35 minutes... It was 3.5 miles in the end, though, so something was accomplished. I so wish I were one of those people who could get up and run a marathon no problem, but no! Slow and steady wins the race, so at my pace, I'm first place! I went shopping with my sister, for the purpose of finding her an outfit for the wedding. One huge challenge was going shopping without buying anything (Spoiler: I bought two dresses). With that said, I believe something I learned was that I am a shopaholic... Isn't that terrible? How does a person fix th...

      Ah...I have officially made it through another week. Honestly, everyone keeps telling me how terrible I must feel to be taking a summer class, but I am not upset about it yet. Math is by no means, a favorite topic of mine, but this class in particular is enjoyable to go to. I will say, not a lot of interesting, blow-your-mind, experiences happened this week; because I was constantly studying and doing homework. Nonetheless, it was a pleasant week.        I was so excited to see an email on Friday that said I was accepted into DAAP for Fashion Design! That was probably the biggest accomplishment of this week. It is so difficult to get into that department, so I have been stressing over when I might get the acceptance or decline email. I went to UC Clermont full-time my last two years of high school, and these past two semesters were my first "official" college semesters. During all of that time, I have been so worried about getting the perfect s...

        This week has been pretty busy; however, I have had some personal accomplishments. I painted for the first time in almost a year this past week. It was wonderful. Due to an immense amount of school, I did not have time to, so this was very rewarding. As far as challenges, there have not been many. The worst thing I could possibly think of is that I got mud on my brand new pair of white shoes. How awful is that? In terms of learning, of course, I learned in this Math class. Most of it I have been taught in the past, but due to a long period of not practicing it, it has been lost. As for a question on a test or quiz, there are so many to think of, but here is one, fraction problem: To obtain a certain shade of paint, Zack Packanack mixed 1 3/4 gallons of alizarin red paint with 5 gallons of burnt umber brown and 5 gallons of true ultramarine blue. How much paint did Mr. Packanack have?
