1. This year in humanities I want to learn some more literary devices.
So far I can understand and use some devices but I want to learn about a few more. Something like symbolism or verbal irony.
2. Another goal I have is to better understand how to start a good thesis for all of my essays.
I can start a thesis but it just doesn't flow with the rest of the essay.
3. Another goal I want to accomplish is to get a deeper understanding of how I can make all of my work the best it can be.
I can put in a lot of effort but I want to know if I can make that piece of work better.

GOALS (mysics)
1. This year I want to aim as high as I can and get the best grade that I can so I can pass my grade.
The first step I am going to take will be by starting to get more help in getting a better understanding of what I am being taught in Mysics.
2. Another goal I have would be to prepare myself for whatever challenges that I might await me in the future.
I would take the chance to study for future preferences so that when the time comes for me to know something important, that I might need to know in the future, I would have the answer.
3. Another goal that I have for this year is to learn how to be able get get more focused than I already am.
Right now I can take the first step to greater focus by learning how to keep my mind on track. Due to my loss of focus sometimes, my grade ended up taking a large impact and caused me to repeat the grade. I am trying not to make the same mistakes.

Literary Device Stroy
Catching the signal from one of her friends, Angela brushed her skirt, took a deep breath and walked towards where he was sitting.
What do I do? What do I say? I've been waiting for this chance forever. Suddenly, another girl approaches Johnny. Angela came to an instant stop in her tracks. Her heart dropped into her stomach. She started to feel like her soul had just left her body.
"Oh no. I'm too late."
Angela starts to quietly weep to herself and starts to head back to her friends. What has just happened? Was she too late? No! This can't end this way. In an instant, something had tapped her shoulder. What was this? It was Johnny.
"Hey. I heard you wanted to talk to me." said Johnny.
"Yeah, I did. But your girlfriend came and..."
"That wasn't my girlfriend. She just came to give me my notes for the big test on Friday back."
"Oh. Well...I was sort of ...well... wondering if you'd like to go with me to the dance on Thursday.You know, if your not busy or anything."
Angela's Heart started to beat louder and louder with a thump- thump,thump- thump. As if it were like a ticking time bomb about to burst. Was this real? Was she really going through with this?
"I don't think I have anything going on Thursday. Yeah, I think I'll go with you to the dance."
Angela felt like she was going to burst with happiness. The guy she liked had said yes to going with her to the dance. She felt as though she had just emerged from her shell and sprouted wings and flew of into the light. This was the greatest day she could ever imagined.

Origin of Zero
What struck me in the articles was the theories there are. Some say zero came from Mesopotamia and others say it came from Babylon.
There isn't a way to decide who discovered what. It would be unfair to take sides. I believe it is a "first come, fist served" rule that decides on who discovered what first. No body knows who discovered zero first.
In one of the articles a man named Fabonacci was said to have brought zero back from north Africa, but zero's history stretches as far deeper into history. In fact, that its provenance is difficult to pin point.
No one really knows where zero came from. The guy who came up with the concept of zero didn't discover it because he needed zero to come up with the concept. Even though the person who discovered the number isn't the guy who came up with zero. There was someone who actually made zero and a couple thousand years later some one discovered the zero someone else had founded.

A light rain like trickle of little droplets of water, sounding a little like rain drops falling on clay pots. Then a rush of water, a wave of smooth water traveling over its wavy surface. A soft calm stroking in the sound and presence of quick water. Waves in the background, so soft that it calms the spirit. A quick few hard strokes along the water’s welcoming presence. The innocent soul then leaves the water and the rushing waves continue on. A sudden plunge enters the soft water and a swishing sound soon follows the deep plunge. Lastly a few small droplets drop into the water finishing the moment.

1000 lockers
There are 1000 lockers and 1000 students oped the lockers. The first student opens all the lockers. The second student changes the position every second locker starting on the second locker. Next the third student changes the position of every third locker starting on the third locker. Then the fourth student and fourth locker and the pattern continues. The question is which lockers are left open? The answer is 31 lockers are left open. This is the right answer because there are 31 perfect squares including the very first locker. The perfect squares involve; 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 225, 256, 289, 324, 361, 400, 441, 484, 529, 576, 625, 676, 729, 784, 841, 900, and 961. This is all 31 perfect squares. To get 1000 you would need to add on decimals to 31. Approximately another 30 or so digits in the decimal places. The answer is 31 because the locker number is accessed as many times as it has divisors. Ex: Locker number 6 is accessed 4 times - by the first, second, third and sixth kids. Thus the lockers which will be open are those whose number has an odd number of divisors, i.e., perfect squares. The number of perfect squares less than 1000 is 31.
