we meet again.

so i haven't done one of these in a while, i just finished a thesis paper on why beowulf is sexist, good shit, good shit.
PG: today i deserve a 100 because i helped finish the marketing plan, and although i was absent for most of the freshman periods, i was off bettering my pre-calc skilllllzzzzz with ms. vaksman, the best math teacher on the planet.

6 characters, wow. it's been a while. is it odd that i'm finding it hard to actually get into this one? i'm kinda sorta lost, so i started back from the beginning. i think it's because today has just been an off day in general. the only thing that i've been able to get today was the pre-calc stuff, so i think i'm just going to write about that. honestly i think if i write about anything else, it's going to sound like poop. now i'm scared to read that thesis paper. anyways, in pre calc we're working with domains and ranges of functions. so if we take a problem like x+6 over x-4 we can establish the domain and what not. first, we're given possible integers to see if these could appear in the graph. you just plug the corresponding integer for x. for domain you would set the denominator equal to zero, unless you had a picture, you would just pick the biggest and smallest x's on the graph. make sense? and the same thing with range, the biggest and smallest y's on the graph. then you find the intercepts. if you want to find the x intercept you set the whole equation equal to 0, but really you only have to work with the numerator, and the y intercept you just make every x in the problem 0 and solve. and sometimes we set the f(x) equal to another number, and them you set the whole equation equal to that number. i'm actually really staring to get this. it it weird that this is my journal entry? can you show this is ms. vaksman? i want her to know i'm trying and that today during 7th period something just clicked with me. i really appreciate all her help, like mad woah. wow. i never thought i would be in a pre calc class, like ever.

6 characters... so in act 2, when the characters are acting, are they actually acting out their life story, because i know that's what they're fighting about, i think. oh my god. i need to read this again on the bus in the morning. i will get back to you. at least something made sense today.
