Well after anticipating all year, it's finally here. My last few days of high school. First I just want to say how bittersweet this class was for me. The class itself, i loved it! The people, the messing around, the stressing out, the late night mini van trips, it was unforgettable. I really enjoyed getting to know everyone and love our ability to have fun yet still get a lot of work done. Now for the bitter part...the actually calculus. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say i suck at it. But hey, it's not the end of the world. Don't worry, i don't plan on building bridges or roller coasters in my future, so y'all should be safe ;)
Now onto the "concept" that never gave up on me and kept running into my skull until it finally got into my brain...
what else could it be..... AVERAGE VALUE!
It's just such a simple integral problem, how can anyone get this wrong. The formula is 1/b-a bSa f(x). You simply just plug in to the formula with what you were given. And half the time it's in the calculator portion so you just have to plug the integral in your calculator then times it by 1/b-a. Voila, you get a beautiful answer that you actually think is right :) AMEN to that.
Just so i don't seem like i only accomplished one thing in calculus all year, some other things i understood were average rate of change, mean value theorem, simple derivatives and integrals, HORIZONTAL TANGENTS, and i'm sure there are a couple of others.
So onto my farewells:
my seniors- We've had an amazing run. We're all so close and we worked hard to get where we are. No matter how mean i may come off sometimes, I love each and every one of y'all and wish every one luck in their future endeavors. Now let's finish this year off right and make a name.
oh let's doooo it
the juniors- i absolutely love y'all. i never really talked to y'all much before this class but i'm so glad that we had it together. Every one of y'all cracks me up, and i know y'all will be successful b/c of how determined you are. Keep it up and don't slack off, and have fun in calculs bc next year. I might miss you guys ;)
B-robbbb- thanks for putting up with me these last two years. You believed in me and kept pushing me even when i said it was impossible to stick this what i call "garbage" in my brain. I know i didn't catch on to a lot at first, but i did try and i truly believe no other teacher could put up with us as well as you did. You're an awesome person and i truly admire you and all of your accomplishments. Thanks again for everything :)
Now i think it's time to close this blog, my LAST one.
Goodbye Calculus, Goodbye Riverside, Hello Life :)
