Ok, as the radius of the courtyard is approximately 15 feet, and the circumference of the circle is 15pi2, or 30pi, and if I travel at a rate of 1ft per stride, at 2 seconds per stride and D= R x T, then 30pi=2sec.per ft x T then I should be able to walk from here, assuming I am at 130 degree arc from the door, 13/36of 30 pi div. by 2sec. per ft = Time so I should be able to arrive at the door in 17 seconds with a marginal error of 4 seconds.
I glanced at my watch and started walking. 16 seconds.
“Hey Vaughn! What are you doing?”
I ignored the voice and entered the door. I walked to my friends and then I saw her. I began calculating, using Tangent, Pythagorean Theorem, and the Distance formula how long it would take me to walk over to her. Ha, like I had the guts.
D=square root of (tan(36)2 +202) R= 2ft per sec T= variable
God she was pretty, why did I have to be such a nerd?
Inspired by
Ok, so I have this idea.
It’s a series of series, called the ‘I am’ series of series.
They will be called:
I am Nerd
I am Slu…A sequel to An idea- and writers block.
About the author
Dreamer
Lost in a Paradox.
I came up with the penname Dreamer from a fantasy story I used to tell my friends. ‘Dreamer’ was a character based off of me that could make characters in books and movies come to life. Yeah, I know, I wish.
Current Mood: headache. sigh.
Words of the Month (one for each week because I’ll probably forget to update it weekly): (guess what my theme is this month)
Pomology- the study of fruits and fruit growing
Etymology- the study of word origins
Entomology- the study of bugs or insects
Phrenology- a psychological theory or analytical method based on the belief that certain mental faculties and character traits are indicated by the configurations of the skull. (I might add that this study is almost completely wack. They did get one thing kind of sort of right- that aggression is in the forehead… but, um, so is your personality, so when they cut that part of people’s brains out [if they were too aggressive in jail] then the people became like living zombies with no personality. creepy.)

Series I’m writing (wrote):
NEW ‘Losing Focus’- a random series of events of a teenage girl’s life. An irregular plotline, it simply gives you glimpses of her life- from the pettiest of details to her more important issues and problems. She hasn’t any outstanding story, she’s just a normal girl. I don’t know if anyone will like this, it’s an experiment I’m messing with. Link to first:

The current ‘Remembering’ series. The ‘story after the story.’ This is a sequel to the ‘Just a Little’ series (see below). This is what happens after the tragedy. This will have a happy ending. I promise. :). Fiction. Link:

Courage is the judgement that something else is greater than fear. The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all.
