Omg, school starts in like, what, 7 days!? I'm really nervous, but I'm also kinda excited! I hope it will be a good first year of HS, to say the least. n_n
What was your first year of high school like? Did you have any memorable experiences?

Bedrooms
Have you ever really taken the chance to see how your bedroom signifies you? Have you ever really thought how much is represents you? If you can, post a picture of your bedroom and any poster can guess what you like and who you are. I'll post a pic of mine when I get the chance. Im too lazy to go out and take a picture at the moment. :P

Movie Review For Despicable Me.
Hey There!
Recently, I went to see the movie "Despicable Me", with my good friend Kelsey. I have to say, I was stunned by the movie, even though I saw it in 2-D.
Overall, the movie proved to be a heartwarming and fun experience. It really brought out the inner child in me. I realized how much I miss of my childhood, such as the fun experiences with family. Mainly, the films protagonist, Dr. Gru, takes on three young girls by adoption, however, he realizes this tasked is proven harder then he thought it would be, whilst he has to juggle taking on the villainous schemes of his evil empire, and taking care of three young girls. I honestly found this movie quite touching, for throughout the movie, you see his good side start to really shine through his evil exterior. The one thing I disliked about this film is that it lacked a sort of overall scheme. It just seemed that the movie was going on one straight course, as opposed to a twisty ride that tests your emotions. However, I shouldn't expect a roller coaster experience from a children's movie, I still think the movie should have a few exhilarating moments. However, I enjoy how the movie went on a steady pace, and kept me hooked, although there were times when I looked to my friend and began to talk to her, and she did the same. To be completely honest, I think the minions stole the show. They had the right amount of humour, and great comedic timing. I actually found their nonsensical blabber quite funny. Overall, this film proved to be a wonderful visual treat, as well as an adorable, heartwarming story, that will make you think how much it really means to be family.
Overall, I give the film 4.5/5 stars.
Despicable me stars Steve Carell, Will Arnett, Russel Crowe, Kirsten Wiig, and Miranda Cosgrove. It hits theaters July 9th, 2010.

E=MC2
Okay, alright. E=MC2 is some insanely genius equation, right? No one other than Einstein has a worthy mind for such crazy colossal calculations, right?
WRONG!
Here it is in a nutshell: (sort of)
E=MC2 is an equation that proves a relationship between an object's mass (weight) and energy. The more it weighs, the more potential energy it has. For instance, the common occurance of riding a bicycle exemplifies this. As you ride up the hill, you seem to get "heavier" due to the increase in apparent gravity; the gravity pulling down is "increased" by the opposite force of your inclination. In other words, you go up, gravity goes down, and because of this, the force inbetween (gravity times work exerted by the bicyclist) increases. Therefore, your weight seems to increase and, as a result, you have more potential energy.
What? You still don't get it? Well, let me explain for one moment about energy.
There are two basic energies: kinetic and potential. In basic terms, you possess potential energy when you go up the hill, and you exert kinetic energy when you go down it. What does this mean? The difference is that the energy isn't released when you go up or when you are stationary. It is merely stored until the next decline, when it is exerted in the form of kinetic energy. This form of energy is called potential energy because it hasn't "happened" yet.
The weight of an object is directly related to its energy. For example, imagine a 90 pound person riding the bike down the hill. Once the hill levels out, they won't coast for long. However, a 180 pound person would coast for a lot longer on the same decline. This is because the heavier person has more potential energy when riding up, and therefore more kinetic energy when going down.
But what about things with no mass? What about electricity?
That's where the 'C' in the equation comes in. It stands for the speed of light. The equation proves that pure energy, such as light or electricity, travels at the speed of light ALWAYS, no matter what. For instance, if you leaned out of a car window while going at 60 mph and pointed a flashlight forward, the light would travel at the same speed as if you were stationary when you shone it. Both situations are the same. The light travels at the speed of light (duh) both times. ALWAYS. But, perform the same experiment with a baseball, and you will find that the baseball travels faster when thrown from a car then it does when thrown from a balcony.
So there it is. But if you want the real nutshell, you might as well take the title of this post because, ultimately, that says everything I just did in 5 characters.
