WOW. is miss jollivans class informative. i seriously learned a lot a bout data today. the sad thing is that i didnt want to. shes a wizard like that. she makes u learn things u have no intention on learnin once u go in but then next thing u kno she uses her magical wizard powers and SHA-ZAM!!!! she made u learn it. for example....yesterday in NINTH PERIOD(best period ever) we learned bout DATA and how rich ppl can use it on their BIG SCREENS to show things like global infant mortality rate. there was a lot goin on on that graph becuz this WAS NO ORDINARY GRAPH! i honestly didnt kno wat was goin on at first but then that funny lookin guy walked me thru it like he would a stupid fourth grader and i understood wat was goin on for the most part. there was cirlces...of different colors and sizes and they were EVERYWHERE and i was like wats happenin on that funny lookin graph?!?! but then he explained that each circle represented a country and that the size of the circle represented the size of the population. ok gettin close to understanding it...then he explained that the x axis was average number of children the average family in that country had. that made sense cuz the INDIAN circle was far to the right anound 14 per fam. no seriously. the y axis was the mortality rate of kids below 15 in that country so the higher your country was the more kids died in that country. the last thing that popped out at me was the year. it was in faded grey bold letters in the back of the graph. it started out in 1964 and progressed to the year 2008 or 2007. i saw the progress as he changed the year and the graph and it was actually really interesting. thank u miss jollivan for not teaching the exciting subject of ALGEBRA at the usual boring pace. i learned a lot about how data progresses over time and the possibilities that our new tech opens up for displaying the centurys data. seriously that graphing program he was using totally PWNS watever our calculators go on. its like his runs on MAGIC!
thats all i have to say. comment NICE THINGS if u liked it like a normal human being would and keep your mean comments to yourself. honestly. dont waste my time.
PEACE OU!!-In13ensiebel
