SAT

Todays SAT was on long and short critical reading passages where they gave you many strategies but were all basically based on the same thing which was to just skim over the passage and find out what you need to know and no excess information that'll just waste your time because they don't give a lot of time on these things. The book suggested finding out the 5 W's(who, what, when, where, why). This way you can answer all the questions and still have some time left to check over them.

Today's SAT was on how to attack the critical reading component which is what the title says, where they give you a bunch of questions on a article before and you just answer them either in grid ins or multiple choice like questions and also the answers were 2 pages long at the back also explaining why the answer is what.

School - Monday

I hate Mondays but i still have to go to school. Today's first block was science and we marked several pieces of work and the teacher did 3 demonstrations and told us to write a paragraph with 2 diagrams and a summary statement for each demonstration and explain why whatever happened, happened. Second block was English where we had a TOC and worked on our posters for the whole block. Then it was lunch time where i went to the cafeteria to get some noodles before going to gym. At gym we started wrestling in the mat room which is basically a room filled with mats on the floor for it to be safe for wrestling but the walls were made of glass and bricks so it wasn't really all that safe but wrestling is suppose to be on the floor. When me and my friend were wrestling he pulled my finger and it's still in pain right now. It's the feeling you get when a basketball hits your fingers but worse, probably 10* worse. So right now i can barely type a single letter. Next block was band and i could barely play my trumpet because i had to press my fingers down which was almost impposible at that moment. Then school was finally over but i had to walk home in shorts when it was raining because i didn't have time to change after gym because we ended late.

National Geographics

The world's biggest snake was a massive anaconda-like beast that slithered through steamy tropical rain forests about 60 million years ago, says a new study that describes the ancient giant. Fossils found in northeastern Colombia's Cerrejon coal mine indicate the reptile, dubbed Titanoboa cerrejonesis, was at least 42 feet (13 meters) long and weighed 2,500 pounds (1,135 kilograms).

"That's longer than a city bus and … heavier than a car," said lead study author Jason Head, a fossil-snake expert at the University of Toronto Mississauga in Canada and a research associate with the Smithsonian Institution.

Previously the biggest snake known was Gigantophis garstini, which was 36 to 38 feet (11 to 11.6 meters) long. That snake lived in North Africa about 40 million years ago.

Hans-Dieter Sues, associate director for research and collections at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, was not involved with the study but has seen the snake fossils.

Sues noted that humans would stand no chance against one of these giants, which killed their prey by slow suffocation.

"Given the sheer size—the sheer cross-section of that snake—it would be probably like one of those devices they use to crush old cars in a junkyard," Sues said.

In addition, the snake's heft indicates that it lived when the tropics were much warmer than they are today, a find that holds potential implications for theories of once and future climate change.

Biggest Snake Needed the Heat

Scientists know there's a link between a snake's body size, how fast it uses and produces energy, and climate.
