sniffnoySo Mr. Liva found Robert. Or maybe Mr. DeFalco did. Either way he was found in Mr. DeFalco's room and returned to me by Mr. Liva. Yay!
The seniors decided to have a standing long-jump competition in the senior breezeway today. During my free mods at the end of the day Ryan and Phil and I tried seeing how far we could get compared to them. They didn't have a measuring thing, but they did have tape marking how far different people had gotten.
Dmitry sprayed me with something towards the end of the day. Apparently it was some sort of deodorant. It smelled awful.
I did the "Calculus Superbowl" on a team with Tom and Fan today, missing lunch (I ate at the end of the day). It was a really stupid competition to have missed lunch for. It was all really basic, and it wasn't edited. One problem referred to a function g in parts a and b and then suddenly talked about f in part c. We assumed it meant g. Once it changed a variable from d to p within the same part of a problem! And of course there was the part where it defined f(x) as an integral... which did not depend on x! We just took that one literally, as there was nothing else we could do with it. Still it seems rather strange to ask about the average rate of change of the derivative of a constant function. :P
