My Initial Physics Hypotheses and Questions

After being educated in the fields of biology and chemistry at the Asheville School, I have arrived at physics, what I believe to be the study of how things around us move and work.  That however, is only my initial thought.  As with other sciences, I hope to be able to further define what "physics" really implies.  I am looking forward to examining every day things, such as a basketball, or a car, and seeing how they work, as well as things that aren't just everyday items, such as a hovercraft.  I believe that the study of motion and laws is just as important as the study of living things, because if it were not for the laws of physics, our world would be much different.  Physics has also furthered the development of chemistry and the study of atoms.  I do wonder how much of physics is directly related to the environment and the anatomy of living things however.  Just as I have expectations of the class, I have expectations of myself.  I hope to improve my math skills dramatically by using them in physics, in addition to my primary math class.  I also hope to improve my lab writing skills as well as my ability to work in a group.  In the past, I have been distracted by others in my group, but this year I hope to be able to focus on the task at hand and get the job done in a timely and neat fashion.  Finally, I want to improve my test taking skills.  This does not apply solely to physics, but it is a goal of mine for every class.  I believe that my drive to accomplish my goals while studying the world of physics will lead to a great year for me, and I am excited to start.
