We are the Seniors!
Ok. so. being a senior is great and it gets better once you figure out you best, most likely to, and known for! This of course, is for the senior pages. If you don't know what I'm referring to by Best, Most Likely To and Known for this is a brief explanation.
Best: not like best smile or best laugh. something that highlights a unique characteristic of yourself. like ellie could be- "best fog-horn" or t could be "best 'buddy'"
Most Likely To: This is pretty obvious. Don't make them too serious but make sure they are witty. wittiness is fun. And if you say "most likely to never think of a most likely to," that is a counterexample of wittiness. don't say that or else.
Known for: Can you mold a brief list of your interests into one sentence? Or what is something you do a lot that is either funny or you can phrase to make a funny statement? I apologize for my awkward sentences but you get the idea. It can be short and sweet, too. Just make sure it isn't boring. For example... hmmm... Michael- Known for being a cat.
Next... quotes! NOT a long philosophical quote someone else said like "they can because they think they can-cicero." no. something funny you've said in the past, or say a lot. example: salvador: "i crack myself up like a chipped teapot." he did say that on aim. or, following the latter suggestion, ella: rick, stop it! don't do it! NO STOP IT RICK!
Lastly. A general message you leave to the class. Nothing elaborate or too specific. But try to mean what you say. A weak example is: "I will miss each and every one of you! Don't forget me!" Make it better than that though. This part really shouldn't take more than 1 minute of thinking. Really. Not much brainpower needed.
Here's the deal. By friday during science you will have an strong idea of what you want and we will take 5 minutes out of the class to get them in order and have them written down and ready for the yearbook. So start thinking. If you need help thinking about it ask your friends what's most memorable about you or something like that. Because after all we DO want to remember YOU. well most of you. jk jk. Alrighty then. C u 2mrw!

GIRLS!
Hey!
So, I am officially inviting all the senior girls to my house Saturday, March 1 -- Please meet at the Majestic Crest (see info below) for a 12:00 PM showing of "The Other Boleyn Girl". The film is PG-13 so everyone should be able to see it! Also, it is starring Scarlett Johansen, Natalie Portman, Eric Bana, Jim Sturgess (Jude from "Across the Universe") and Kristin Scott Thomas! I read the book a while ago and it still remains one of my favorites, so I am very excited to see this "sexy, good-looking political bodice-ripper with an almost flawless cast at the top of its game." Hehe. okay, enough about that....After the show we will somehow figure out how to get all of us back to my house for the photo shoot. By the end of the day, everyone will have a headshot they love! I am so determined. You will walk out with a new favorite picture of yourself even if we have to work aaaaall day long! I have some other fun things for us to do up my sleeve... ;) Anyways, my address is...
2261 Manning Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90064
Pickup can be anytime that is convenient for your parental units, however 8-8:30 should be the latest I think...
The movie theatre is...
The Majestic Crest
1262 Westwood Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90024
Please keep in mind that even though the show starts at noon, we have to buy tickets and make sure that everyone is sitting together, so please arrive a little bit beforehand!
Thank you all! and thanks to the boys for tolerating this long, girl-centric message on the blog!
I'm so excited! :)

Two Very Important Announcements
1. Friday is crazy hair day for the seniors. Go crazy with gel, pins, hairspray, ribbons, clips, get an absurd hairstyle or whatever. Just do something different.
2. Just a reminder for the girls about the Zoey Headshot House thing. I don't have the details because I'm not Zoey so you should ask her and then edit this post so that it has all the information. Or Zoey can do that herself.
By the way... for those of you who have been absent.... that would actually only be Nick but... as of today, it seems we're doing Seussical. Why do I come to such conclusion? Because that's all we've been singing and because Mr. Maynard has only positive comments to say about it. The only negatives he had was the harmonies are hard to get. And because the reason he hasn't yet told us what the musical is... is because he's waiting for the scripts from New York. We know he has the Music Man scripts, Lucky Stiff scripts, and How To Succeed scripts, plus a Seussical DVD... but no script! According to a certain faculty member who will remain unnamed on this blog, he is waiting for TWO scripts. He must be waiting for Guys and Dolls and Seussical and since we haven't sung anything from Guys and Dolls... you see where I'm going? Also, according to that same faculty member, the most considered is Seussical. Lastly, today afterschool a few other seniors and I were chatting with Brennan... and we said "guess what Brennan it seems we're going to do Seussical!" and he said "oh yeah! i saw the-" we cut him off at that point with a loud "WHAT DID YOU SEE?" At which point he said... "hehe. nothing." Yeah. Just thought you'd like to know. Most of us agree that we're doing Seussical anyway. Well have fun doing homework (especially mr. sewell's class). see you tomorrow!

Character Roles
Ok. I think I know what the four female and 3 male leads or supporting roles will be... if we do How To Succeed, which I think we will. It took me a while to do this but I found out what all the character's voice ranges are... so that helps. Ok here we go.
Finch (lead)-Nick
Biggley (supporting)- Salvador (both biggley and salvador are bass/baritones)
Bud Frump (supporting, antagonist)-Alexander (baritone/tenor)
I'm not sure about the rest of the male roles because they are mostly baritones and we have more tenors than baritones. Ok now for the female roles.
Rosemary (lead)- Maddie (mezzo-lowerish... maddie IS soprano but she can sing low too)
Smitty (supporting)- Evan (Both Smitty and Ev are the lowest female roles or singers... so naturally...)
Hedy LaRue (supporting)- zoey/ella (intuitive)
Miss Jones (supporting)- T! (After all, both Miss Jones and T are sopranos)
Ok well i could be wrong but i think this is it! After all I AM psychic. Well actually I based it partially on last years rolls... it'll probably be pretty much the same i think, no matter what musical we do. We'll see... what do YOU guys think?

Represented by an arrow drawn to scale
Examples of a vector quantity: velocity, force, acceleration
Scalar

Examples of a scalar quantity: mass, volume, speed
Working with Vectors
Vectors in the same direction → add
Vectors in the opposite direction → subtract
Nonparallel vectors → use parallelogram rule
