14V: Investment!

What is it to make an Investment?
รจ  The action or process of investing money for profit or material result. Not always does it only include money. Its really applying anything such as effort or energy in order to get something you desire in the end.

Articulate- This is having or showing the ability to speak fluently and coherently.. to pronounce and enunciate your words properly.


Ratification- It is making something valid by formally ratifying or confirming it.

14B: Thanksgiving post

Hmm what exactly am I truly thankful for that’s taken place during my first semester of college? Well for starters, I’m thankful for the fact that I found a group of friends that I can relate to and that are literally just like me. That was one of my major worries coming into freshman year.. what if I don’t find a friend I can relate to and hangout with?! IM thankful for the fact that I have yet to have any true issues in the dorm and that I get along with my roommate.. why on earth would I want to have a roommate that I don’t get along with? Imagine living with someone for one WHOLE year that you did not get along with!!
Coming into college I worried that I would be stuck with a group of professors that were hard and unwilling to work with their students.. safe to say this is far from the truth. I was lucky enough have almost near perfect professors (except for one)! Fun and flexible are really the only words that can be used to describe my professors. They understand each students strengths and weaknesses in the classroom and are willing to find a way to work with the student so they are better off as a student and are able to have success in the near future.

I’m thankful for the fact that Im not doing horribly thus far.. by no means am I doing great but it could be worse.. I’m glad I’ve made it through the first semester without failing out of the university. 

14A: Preparation over Break

                There’s no better feeling than going home after not having seen your family and friends in nearly a month. It’s always a good time when you go back home for the first time in a while; and though I’m 30 minutes from home.. I do get home sick. So getting to sleep in my own bed and have a home cooked meal was something that couldn’t be replaced.
                Having a week off gave me a bunch of extra time to get myself prepared mentally for finals week, which is one of the most dreaded weeks in all of college. Finals week shouldn’t be too hard for me seeing as I only have one final where I actually have to step foot into a classroom! (thankyou professors) This week mainly consisted of me gathering information and filming some things for my next video in inquiry. I sat down and really had a lot of time to myself to brainstorm how I would go about handling my final project in this class. Though I didn’t have too much work to get done or even have any finals to prepare for, I took the time to really plan for this inquiry final because my grade as of now isn’t exactly where I’d like it to be and if I get an A on this final It can really boost my grade.

                Thanksgiving came and I took the opportunity to be thankful for the fact that my math teacher is sending out an extension until December 4th to finish all late math homework.. talk about a life saver. So once this is all completed and I ace this math final, I can walk away from freshman year happy and maybe end on terms that I choose myself, maybe I can walk out of the first semester satisfied with what I did as a student. 

13I: Registration..

It seems to me like everyone had such a hard time registering for classes in the spring.. I wish I felt your pain. Athletes at SCSU are given the opportunity to register 3 weeks earlier. What’s tough about registration for athletes is the fact that we usually are limited as well. Most of our schedules have to be free by 2 pm everyday, and that simply means morning classes… I’m not really a fan of that at all. I want to wake up late and finish around 4 or 5 and not have to worry about anything else at all.. While on the topic of registration, SCSU should maybe develop a better system for it.. because the one they have now is awful. 

13V: Vocab for the mind

What is your Purpose?
Will you strive to make a difference and stand for something? Will everything you do and aspire to be in the future have a sole purpose? Or will it be random acts that don’t stand for anything useful? A purpose is the exact reason something is done or created; all important actions in life are handled with a purpose.

Speculate-  Form a theory or state your exact opinion about a subject without firm evidence.


Adjunction- The asserting in a single formula of two previously asserted formulae….. Someone please better explain this to me in class on Tuesday.. thanks.
