Physics

Professor Vlad told me a story about his friend who served in the Army in... Some country like Russia? I don't remember, actually... I'm not sure if he said that.
Here it is, roughly.

There were a lot of mines back in the day. It was said that a bunch of force will trigger them to explode. If you are walking around, usually it won't happen, but if you jump from a tree, a mine can be triggered easily. One day, a group of soldiers were all lined up. The sergeant asked them why someone can drop from a tree and trigger a mine, but not if one stays on the ground. No one said anything. The sergeant now knew that they were all very dumb. He yelled, "ACCELERATION! It is greater when you fall down!" Professor Vlad's friend, a physics major, interjected. "Acceleration is always 'g'..." The sergeant pointed and said, "Shut up."
(By the way: apparently a mine is triggered by energy of the work done, which depends on displacement.)

First to Twelfth

I emailed my mother next year's school schedule.

Her reply:
School starts on your birthday again!!!
I just remember the last time it happened was your first school year in America.

They replied!

Yes!
The first time, they thought I was submitting an essay that day or something, which would have been odd since the new application hasn't come out yet.
They said,
"So long as you are the sole author of the essay, it should not be an issue if it is found elseware on the internet."
The only thing worrying me is the use of "elsewhere," but hopefully that isn't really a big deal.

I am glad.

Waiting

I put an essay on this blog one day in order to share it with my friends. But now that I have deleted the post, I can still find it with Google. This worries me, because whether I can search for it or not, it is still floating around somewhere. I know that I wrote the essay with no outside help, so I am truly the author of that essay.
I wanted to submit it in my Common App. But there is the question of people looking it up in the case of plagiarism, and thinking that I did not really write it, since it can be possibly be found online. After looking around at the Help section on commonapp.org, I decided to email their Support. Hopefully, they give me a response, and furthermore, I hope that the response is concise.

Hi Katelyn,

I read your post about two times today. It was really touching and well-written. I am so glad I got to see it. Thank you for doing that.
I will see you later this week.

Please enjoy your life, and go after the things you want the most.

Hi

Hi. I don't know if this is going to get to Blogger. I just checked
Reader. It is very good to see that the most recent posts sound
positive. I hope everyone finds a way to relax and enjoy the break.
The thing that is bothering me right now is the small clutter on my
desk. It looks so disordered.
I am glad I got my black sunglasses because it is so much easier to
drive that way.
I still really want to live in the north again, even though people get
colds more often up there. But I miss it, and I don't necessarily have
to live there for the rest of my life.
It is already 9:35. Wow.
Ryan unblocked me yesterday. It was incredible. Incredibly surprising.
Except he barely said anything.

Hey!

Where are you, J?
I don't know if I can contact you in another way.
I will try to be more creative, but it is tough. I have tried practically everything.

Come back. Please? You said you will always come back.
:'(
