The Algebra 1 Test


For the past few months, I have been studying Algebra 1 on Khan Academy. But only a few days ago I took the final test. Last Wednesday I woke up and almost immediately started to worry about the test that would decide if I could take geometry at the high school Next year. After breakfast, I spent a few hours going over everything with Baba and making absolutely sure that I knew everything that I needed to know for the test later.


After a few hours of checking over everything, I decided to go with the plan that we had decided on earlier, and I went down to our neighbor Kirsten's house to see the puppy that she was fostering for the time. I played with the puppy for about an hour before leaving to eat lunch before the test.

I ate a quesadilla with cheese, pancetta, and avocado, then got into the car with Baba to go to the high school. When we arrived Ezra and Zack were waiting on the front steps of the high school for me. We went into the front office and waited for everyone else to arrive, We turned around as, Terrence, Lucy, Megan, Angus, Evan, and a few other people entered the room as well. We talked for a few minutes before the teacher that would be giving us the test. When she arrived, she told us to follow her and we walked with her down the hallway, past the orchestra and chorus hallway and into a classroom around the corner. We sat down and she told us the rules of the test and also giving out calculators to people who did not have any. We had 75 minutes to take the test. The test was much easier than I had expected and the teacher gave us donuts from union square donuts once we were done. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and not doing anything too taxing because we had all worked so hard on studying for the test and deserved a break.

Seeing the Chateaus of France.

We woke up in our hotel room in Tours and went downstairs for breakfast. A man named Pascal and his partner ran the hotel and Pascal were serving breakfast. He was very nice and served us incredible hot chocolate, croissants, baguette, Nutella, and jam. We ate quickly then got in a cab to the Tourist Office in Tours. From the Tourist Office, we took the van to start our tour of the Chateaus of France. This is Clos Luce, the Chateau where Leonardo da Vinci died. It has many of his incredible inventions inside of it. This was his workshop where he started his paintings, sketches, and designs for his inventions. This is a lifesize model of his most famous painting "the Mona Lisa". The is Chateau Chenonceau, considered the most beautiful Chateaus in all of France.

Solar Powered

Image
In our house, we recently installed solar panels to reduce our carbon emissions and also save about 45% of our annual costs for our house’s electricity. My Dad wrote a few questions for me to answer that would attempt to persuade much more people to add solar panels to their own houses, and also to try and persuade others to add them to their own houses. Why does solar work for our house? Solar works for our house because we have multiple roof areas mostly south facing that have sufficient sunlight to make a good amount of electricity to be worth the money that they cost. What is the design? There are 19 panels on the one side of the roof and 5 on the other side of the roof above Mom, and Dad’s bedroom How much does it cost? It costs $20,000  when they are installed, but nothing every year afterward. How much electricity will it produce? Our solar panels will produce about 5946 kWh every year for 25 years. What other financial benefits? We will save ...

Day #1 in London

Image
My grandmother and I arrived at Heathrow in London at about 10:30 AM local time, and we were extremely tired. I had only got about an hour or two of sleep on the plane over the Atlantic ocean. We walked to the taxi area and got into a cab. The UK taxis are black and look old, on the inside, there is quite a large space, and three seats along the back of the car. There is no trunk in the UK taxis so we had lots of extra space inside the taxi. Even with the taxis old look, it had an intercom for talking to the driver and also an AC and window button. When we arrived at our hotel we put our bags down and immediately took a two-hour long nap before leaving for lunch. We ate lunch at the ale and pie restaurant below our hotel. I ordered an incredible beef burger, and Baba ordered a steak and blue cheese pie. After lunch, we walked about five minutes to big ben. The Big Ben This is a picture of the London eye.
