Whille everyone else is beginning or going back to college, I am entering the eighth grade Tuesday. Going to be a lot of algebra, some grammar/spelling/literature, American History (yay!), and science. I love school, but I don't love the homework.

For the first six grades, I went to public school... last year and years on I will be in Private school studying under the A Beka Curriculum.

Wow - the 8th grade seems like a whole lifetime ago for me!  How did we ever manage to survive that age?  :)

It's wonderful that you have such a strong interest in meteorology at such a young age.  If you choose to make this your career, your early enthusiasm will certainly pay off.

EDIT: Forgot to say, you need to have FF and or SeaMonkey to view the icons' animation, because other browsers dont support animated PNG  :hmm:

You know you're in college when you have a 2-3 page paper, 98 math problems, a worksheet and a quiz to study during  the first week of classes. Organic chemistry= death. I don't know why this subject even exists, it's worser than multivariable calculus.

We've been prepped for that already - last year (which was the first year the school even started, none of us had already been exposed to such a curriculum). We had 1000-word-essays, over 100 math problems... the essay spanned over a week or two week period because it was a long-term research subject, but the math spanned for a day or two. Can't quite remember.

I can say this, math isn't my strong subject, but it isn't weak, either... and sadly math is needed in meteorology. That was the only thing that turned me away, but quickly reminded myself that there is this new thing called LEARNING.

I wouldve been a meteorology major had my math skills were strong. I still need to take Calculus I though..so maybe it's prep for me

Best of luck, WeatherWitness!

As for the math, it is NOT my thing.  I almost gave up my dream of meteorology because of math, but I just wouldn't have been able to live with myself had I quit because of math.  Just go in with an open mind, ask questions and get help when needed.  Eventually something will click and you can get through it :)

Dear God, help me. I haven't seen the Wiggles since I was six years old. I didn't even know they were still around.

High wind is causing problems for Alabama Power to restore power to those affected by the storms today...

We're doing what we can where we can. High winds in some places have made it unsafe to put our buckets in the air.

So I started my flying lessons today. The wind wasn't that great, which made for a rather bumpy ride, but otherwise it was fun. A few basic turns, and then we did a landing where we bounced down the runway for a good distance. Oh, did I mention I got sick mid-flight? I'm fine now, but for a little bit, a little white bag was my best friend.

Well, my laptop is destroyed. The roof in my room leaked from the rain and all the rain poured in where my desk was, consequently where my laptop was placed in (the desk was behind an Ethernet Jack) right now my laptop is dried off but I can't get to turn on. I took the battery out and turned the  power supply off. The laptop was off when it was under water but I don't know for how long. It probably was for 2-4 hours
