A Typical Week
A typical weekend
The snowball effect• You blow off your
work for one day because you are tired or having a bad day
• Instead of going away it moves to the next day
• The next day two hours of Math seems too overwhelming so you don’t do it
• At the end of the week you are stuck with 6 hours of Math
ImprovingWhen I first got started, I'd end up snowballing 4-6 hours of work each week for Saturday and Sunday. I have improved at keeping up with work, but most weekends I still have some roll over work
Chemistry: What I did:
▪ Went to class five days a week
▪ Did labs
▪ Did homework
▪ Took tests
▪ Learned
Labs
A chemistry experiment followed by a full write up and analyses.

Solving a Quadratic Equation
Who remembers high school Algebra
Hint: You can solve by factoring, or by using the quadratic formula, there will be 2 answers
A X2
1
B X
C
Steps
▪ Find factors of a*c that sum to b
▪ I.e. factors of 1*6 that add to 5 Answer(2 and 3) ( 2 *3 = 6 ) (2 + 3 = 5)
▪ Replace B with the two factors 5x becomes 2X + 3X
▪ (X2 + 2X) + (3X + 6) = 0
▪ Remove a common factor form each group
▪ X ( X + 2) + 3 (X + 2) = 0
▪ Rewrite
▪ (X + 3)(x + 2)
▪ Set each one equal to 0
▪ X+3 = 0 x+2 = 0
▪ Solve for x
▪ X = {-3,-2}

App makeing fail
Unfortunate due to fate and mac computers my app design project failed
Took Udacity course on app making with swift, I didn't like teaching style
Built some of a app in x-code
Computer crashed, and deleted work
Other computer hard drive failed
Fate decreed I take a break from this project
Next year I will try to learn to make apps again
