we're doing biomimetics at skool again..

i looked at bikes and how they have tubular frames and are usually made of metal, but I wanted to explore other ways of making fast bikes from looking at nature.

Bicycles need three things in order to be fast.  light weight, stiffness, and aerodynamics.

The best example of this is seen in the toucan.  It

mr matthew i think this idea is quite interesting (and i was reading it pretty long to nnderstand all), if it will not work, you'll learn at least a lot of new things about materials, and structures and so on.
i like yor're inspired by nature.
and i'm jealous how create is your school.when i was last time at school, i just told to teacher, taht it's lecture is really boring and i don't understand a lot.so i was pretty annoying and ask something almost every 5 minutes.
later then, i wrote 4 pages to dean, how shit is this school and how boring and uneffecient is education process and put some ideas as well and i signed it.but still no answer haha.

hahaha, i have the same issues with my school though. I find I have to try really hard sometimes to see where they're going with their lessons. One teacher's idea might be brilliant but if they can't translate it into a lesson that's interesting then there's no point.

you're really smart though, i could never do what you did. I failed high school physics hahaha

i'm even not afraid what consequences will be after, but it was all pretty pure true.and i started like, despite of fact i'm tired of studiing at this school...blah, blah, blah...ok, i'm little afraid, but i've arguments because it's still like bloody komunism here.
my classmates were in austria for an half year and as we compared those two systems of our and theirs school i just started to be deeply disappointed and i did that "letter" without thinking about consequences or something.
i think a lot of people (teachers) are realizing this situation, they just lazy to do something.here teachers are the poorest people (funny salaries) so they've no motivation to change something.
i don't know why i love this stupid country....
did you really fail high school physics!?...you'll be another Einstein maybe!

[groening]

hahahah funny salaries...you mean they're poor. we're both einsteins!!

this is really effing interesting. it is in my "memories" now. don't delete your journal ever.

i haven't checked livejournal in a few days, so now i'm just going over a select group of people's most recent posts. AND I MUST SAY, your journal (or life) just gets increasingly entertaining. i like it.
