Sinking...?

Doc, does my extra post count for this week? Is this blog necessary? Oh well, I guess I'll do it anyway. Just in case. Ooooh. Or do I get extra credit for my extra blog? Haha. Just kidding (not really).

Okay well, prom is coming up in about a month for so, and since I'm a girl, I need things like a dress and shoes. Dress: Check, Shoes: uncheck. :( Haha. I was thinking about shoes, and my mind wandered to Junior Ring Ceremony, which happened to be the last time I wore heels. Good times. :] I wore the heels I wear to virtually every formal thing I go to. They're black, 4 inches high, and have a scary skinny heel.

I had to walk with all my heavy bags and stuff from Weinberg to the Chapel in those heels. And on the way, my friends and I had to walk over some grass. Apparently, it had rained a few hours before, and the grass and dirt were soft. As we walked across that grass, I realized that I was getting stuck in the ground with every step I took. I started freaking out along with a few of my other heel-wearing friends, while Danielle, who was in flats looked at us strangely.

This, my friends, is a lesson in surface area related to weight (mg). There was more pressure focused on that smaller area. Danielle's flats had a greater surface area than my pointy heel did, thus, I sank into the ground while Danielle didn't. Plus, my heels were high, so I added a few more inches of potential energy to myself. :] If I wore my other heels which are wedges and have a larger surface area, I wouldn't have sunk even though they are heels too.

Wow this was a pretty lame topic. Sorry about that, people. I'll think of something better next week (hopefully). Thanks for singing to me, AP physics period 7/8. I should have video taped that. Have a good week, you guys! FAIR WEEK! Live it up! :]
