"Scientists at the world's largest physics lab said Thursday they have clocked neutrinos traveling faster than light."This event has scientists from all over buzzing, some skeptical and others just in awe. If the conclusion they made that this "oddball subatomic particle " can actually be faster then light then it will change some of the foundations of the science community and will also prove Albert Einsteins 1905 theory of relativity equation ( E (equals) mc2) to be false.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research or CERN, have observed neutrinos "smashing past the cosmic speed barrier of 186,282 miles per second".CERN fired a neutrino beam from a particle accelerator near Geneve to a lab 454 miles away in Italy and found that they traveled 60 nanoseconds faster then the speed of light.
CERN is allowing the scientific community to research and explore there findings and see if they are fact true. If in fact these findings are found to be true, it will shape the future of not only science but also life in general.

Bipolar High
My high school years were very interesting to say the least. I went to Colton High school the first two years and went to Yucaipa High School the last two with the additional two college courses in my last semester of my senior year. These two classes were taken at Crafton Hills College.
In my first two years I was considered an "outcast". I didn't want to categorize myself into a specific group and also being "white" was another reason to why I wasn't liked. Some would think I was rich just because of the color of my skin and would try to steal my belongings. I would be harassed, bullied, and just disrespected. With all of these conflicts I was also well known or in other words popular. I never understood this, maybe I was well known because of my humor or friendliness.
In the last two years of high school, I considered myself an outcast because it never clicked to me that I actually belonged although many cliques accepted me and actually wanted me to interact with them. But by the last semester I was so busy with classes that I completely ignored everyone and just focused on my studies. It was mostly a way to escape from problems at home.
My high school years were extremely different on a daily bases and almost everyday I felt like I was getting whiplash. The constant drama, violence, and strange events/encounters make me believe I was stuck in a room full of bipolar individuals, some with medication and some without.

My Behaviours
Before this assignment was given to use, I never would have thought of how I interacted not just with others but also by myself or more so how I truly speak. I realized during class I am as proper as I can be and have to focus so much on the words and phrases individually that there is a few second relapse from what I am trying to say. When I am with friends or people I feel comfortable with my vocabulary changes more to the dominating language. When I am alone I noticed that my own vocabulary or language is mainly more on the proper side and sounds very much like my elders from when I was growing up. So when I am being 'me' I am more proper.
