The result of studying...

I RECITED IN PHILOSOPHY. AND IT WASN'T JUST THE "YES." and "YUP." KIND.
AS IN I KNEW WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT AND I COULD HAVE SHOWN HER WHAT SHE WANTED IF SHE CALLED ME.

:]

I'll just whip out my guitar and go, "Its Essential cause is Yamaha and its formal cause? Well, this is the CS 1116 version of the guitars they make. You want the material cause? Okay. The top's made of Solid Spruce. The back, sides, and neck are made out of Nato. Finally, the fingerboard and bridge is made out of Rosewood. Oh yes, and the final cause of my guitar is that it's meant to be played."

TAKE THAT.

And this is how I answered Physics' Essays.

#1. Suppose a barge was caught in a canal lock. If it threw some of the iron it was carrying, will the water level rise, sink, or remain the same? Explain your answer.

OMG HEY YOU KNOW WHAT THERE WAS AN AESOP'S FABLE THAT WAS ALMOST LIKE IT. HERE, I'LL TELL IT TO YOU. ONCE UPON A TIME, there was a raven who was thirsty. She found a jug on the side of the road and so she decided to drink from it. But she couldn't since she couldn't reach it. The water level was too low. She threw a pebble in and looked at it. It didn't seem like anything happened... MANY PEBBLES LATER, the raven was able to drink since the water rose!

Moral of the story: Hardwork's rewards aren't seen... right away.
Lesson of the story: PHYSICS! Blah blah blah submerged object displaces water equal to its volume blah blah yadah yadah! =D

So yeah. The water level in the canal lock would rise, though it's not noticeable. =]

[Remember the time I was reading Aesop's Fables in Maica's house? YES, RANDOM FACTS STICK IN MY HEAD. XD]

#2. This was... some kind of... um... problem. Not essay.

#3. Your mom wanted to buy a ring from the new jewelry store in town. But she wasn't sure if it was pure gold. How can you tell if it's pure gold without damaging the ring?

[I was laughing inside when I read it.... YOUR MOM--]

HEY, THIS IS LIKE THAT DUDE THAT SHOUTED "EUREKA!" AND RAN AROUND NAKED! Only in his case, the king wanted to check if his crown was totally made out of gold. So that guy told the king to dunk his crown in a container of water and dunk gold of the same weight in another container and measure the water displaced and comapare the results.

So for my mom's case, we'd prolly fill two shot glasses with water. We'll drop the ring in one and a lump of gold that's the same weight in the other, measure the water displaced, compare... and done.

[Aren't I so screwed? :D Okay, I didn't really answer in all out INFORMALLY, but it's still informal-ish on the paper. But not as bad as how I typed it here.]

Oh, while I was typing this... Maica's on my street. She texted me, telling me she's at her lola's house and that she could hear my dogs barking from there. D: Sorry.

[I want to randomly add that my uncle laughs weird. He laughs like a wheezing dog.]
