A final update

No, not the final update. This is an update about finals. The first final was the Hebrew one. It was nice. I enjoyed it. There was all sorts of interesting things on there. Great evidence that I learned plenty on this little trip of mine. Next we had the first half of the J-hist final. I answered everything in hebrew except two questions. That's just a little show-off thing that I do. No one else does that. Next we had the math finals. I am of course AP calc. The test had something like eight questions and all of us had similar qualms at the end about mean-value theorem and local linear approximation. Next was AP physics. That was a toughy. I worked on it and skipped what I didn't know to come back to it later. There were two free response questions with multiple parts each worth 35 points. Then there were eight multiple choice questions. Each was worth 5 points. That is a total of 110 points out of 100. The other AP physics kid compared notes with me afterward. Mind you, she is in AP physics B and I am C (she has Basic math and I have Calculus). In any case, we had a bunch of similar questions. We compared what we had for this question or that and either we both got the similar ones wrong or right but we had the same answers. Finally, this morning, I had the second part of my j-hist exam. Essays. One was Israel themed and the other diaspora themed. I wrote about my theory of the twelve tribes and Levi and Yehuda and other interesting things (that was the Israel one). The other one was about the loss of the Jewish creativity (in America) that tended to identify Jews in exile. That creativity is lost, we remain a creative people but the creativity is American not Jewish. We need a modern day Shalom Aleichem. אוי ועי וחבל

I suppose this was a pretty boring post. Sorry about that. I just wanted to write something now. We are leaving in a few hours for the Negev (the big desert of the south). We will hike for five days or so. I am personally looking forward to it. Oh, one last thing. I have school vacation for about the next month. Heheh.
