Sept. 16: Learn something every day for a year

[ndayday]

There's like a million possibilities in crafts. :D

Voodoo dolls? I don't know...maybe one of those Native American dreamcatchers? You don't have to make the stuff out of real materials, either. Duct tape, balled up paper, and some string could build you a model of...something.

Why is another name for average, the mean?

 

[Insetick]

Here are some things you can try-

Learn how to do a back flip.
Learn to play Don't Stop Believing on piano (totally worth it)
Learn to whistle very loudly
Learn how to sing a song in tune

Why is another name for average, the mean?

An average is just the "middle" point of a set of data. It can be expressed in different ways, including the mean and median. So an average is not always a mean.

 

[L__]

I thought

Arithmetic Average = Arithmetic Mean

Oh well

 

[ぱみゅ]

I expected too much from this thread (it's supposed to inspirate me to inspirate other people! XD)... I wonder if it is already death...

 

[SuSa]

No, I've just decided it's basically impossible for me to do.

I'm still learning new things, but now it's at a "One a week" pace, and I'm two weeks ahead. So I'm practicing the 3 things I know until it's time for me to start again.

One a day was... well.... impossible. :/

 

[Prawn]

Learn how to make the delicious snack of firecrackers.

...you'll thank me later.

 

[highfive]

Perhaps you should try your hand at drawing? I like to draw occasionally (drew a picture of Duck Hunt, took 3 days and about 2 letter grades) and it's also a good stress reliever. Try starting out with simple pictures and then go complex. You probably already draw and I probably just wrote this in vain
/doesn'tknowSuSa

EDIT- Firecrackers sound delicious. So are dry ice bombs....

 

[SuSa]

I'm in Art 1 and am required to draw every other day.

I also really, really suck at drawing.

oh... I hate art class. I despise it with a passion. How can you grade art? That's like grading how you breath or how you walk. Isn't art that which inspires and that which is ineffable?

Perhaps caligraphy?(spelled wrong?) It's really pretty and looks great on a birthday card.

Firecrackers is just a nickname for the snack

I don't think I'm allowed to talk about it on the SWF though :o

Google it.

EDIT: Nevermind you get a bunch of random shiz. lol

oh. Very misleading.

Another suggestion to SuSa:
Perhaps you could also try making those cool nintendo necklaces. Those are BAMF although the monetary input is a bit deterring.

You cannot really grade art, but how else would they do the class?

Even if it "looks bad" so long as you did what was asked (drew what you were supposed to drew, and attempted to shade) you get an A+. So it's basically an "all or nothing" class. No real grading.

Your grade for each assignment is F or A, and depending on how many you don't do is your grade in the class. =p

Also my writing is far worse then my drawing. In fact, I can't even read my own writing. :/

I know. two years of honors art before I realized it's pretty pointless.

Okay. So your writing isn't great. Maybe you could try pottery. I hear it's pretty cool. I wish I could do pottery but I can't until I'm a Senior next year.

Or maybe you could try and make kites. That's pretty simple and it's pretty fun too.

:x I let it die because I stopped caring. I care to much to let it be deleted however.

I make kites with my Dad. Back when he only had visiting rights we'd always go fly kites/airplanes.

- Learn something of a new, random language in one day. Not the whole language, but stuff like: "Hi. How are you doing? I'm doing fine."

 

[SuSa]

Konichiwa, anata wa ogenki desu ka? Watashi wa nemui desu.

 

[L__]

Wow...

I'm just learning Japanese :D

I feel proud to say I actually know what that meant

Particles suck

In Chinese.

Ni hao ma? Wo hen hao. :\

 

[SuSa]

I don't mind particles all that much.

I hate when you have to know when to actually specify anata/watashi in a conversation. If it's a given, you aren't supposed to. But I do anyways.

Also I took 3 months, so I know the basics.

 

[L__]

I officially started today

My friend's teaching me the hiragana alphabet and helping me with my pronunciation.

=D
