...YOU ARE THE MUSIC IN ME!

Boy oh boy has another Sunday just flown by. After doing my homework briskly and then watching the Steelers fall at the mighty hands of the patriots. I was quiet sullen throughout the rest of the afternoon. I need of some cheering up, I found no better way to put a smile on then to explore my secret passion of singing loudly in my room. Closing my door, I put on my noise-canceling headphones and began to belt out some songs from High School Musical. "AHHHHHHH!", a scream came from someone. Why, it was that weekly epiphany. Bose DOC! was trying to speak to me, telling me to stop singing for the sake of his own eardrums. "But Bose DOC!" I exclaimed, "When I sing with my noise canceling headphones on, I imagine I'm the best singer alive!". That's when Bose DOC! explained to me that, I merely thought I was the best singing, but because my headphones were noise canceling, I could not hear my own horrid voice. He explained that the headphones work by detecting unwanted noise from the environment. A circuit then creates a sound wave that is an inverted version of the noise wave, with peaks where the noise has troughs, and vice-versa. When this wave is played through the headphones, it destructively interferes with the unwanted ambient noise. WOW! Bose DOC!, I never realized how terrible I was at singing. All this time I thought I was a rock-star. Thanks to Bose DOC!, I not only learned how my headphones cancel out unwanted noise, I also realized that I should never try out for American Idol. Lesson of the week: Never Let Tom Brady sit in the pocket, or he'll find someone to throw too. DOC! if you're reading this, I would like my $1 in a hundred pennies.

CLOCKS....CATS....IS THIS ALICE IN WONDERLAND?!?!

AHHH! As procrastination has clearly taken over my Sunday, I feverishly attempted to finish all my homework assignments at the last moment. However, never wavering from my musical studies, I decided to take a musical study break to practice some of my orchestra music by the piano (studies have shown that Mozart makes you smarter--hasn't worked for me yet but I can still try) As I was practicing, I wonder what time it was to make sure that I wasn't falling behind on time and could successfully finish all my assignments. MY GOSH! The clock said it was 11 at night, but thats when that physics epiphany happened again! Meow-Mix DOC! was trying to speak to me at such a late hour. This Cat Clock not only tells time, it shows simple harmonic motion and wave motion with its spring. Playing around with the spring, Meow-Mix DOC! showed me that it demonstrated longitudinal waves as well as transverse waves. At the same time, when I held the Cat Clock upside-down, Meow-Mix DOC! showed me that the spring stretched so that spring force was equivalent to the weight of the clock. WOW! It's like Meow-Mix DOC! and my physics teacher are one in the same. Even when procrastinating, I was still learning and accomplishing my physics homework. Thanks Meow-Mix DOC! for your help with my procrastination and for making such good cat for over the years. Lesson of the week: Let's all procrastinate....tomorrow because you can accomplish stuff. DOC! if you're reading this, I bet you a dollar that you're wearing a shirt with a tie and long pants at this very instance.
