I've been interviewing GA candidates for the past week, and there is one question that I have found particularly interesting. It reads, "You only have enough time to get to know a group of people. You can only ask them one question. What would you ask, and why?" Some of the answers weren't too special, but there were two that stood out to me. The first wa
I'm having huge problems seeing correctly. At first, I thought this article was titled "The Hot Potato Phenomenon" I thought the exact same thing when I saw this! If I knew how to post photos, I would. I've got some that look good, and some that I wish I could burn. I've never done th
Usually we say "I should have stayed in bed!". It looks like you cant even say that! I'm not Queen of the Klutz People for nothing! Congrats much on the paper. I have to present a paper this weekend at the National Undergrad Lit Conference. It's on the role of Rosaura in Calderón de la Barca's La vida es sueño. Fun times. Wow! Impressive! Mine's not that big of a deal. I was just glad that it got me
Finding Love... Online? Since writing Part II, things have changed. While Zach and I have had some communication over MySpace and Facebook, we have not spoken on the phone. We have not talked about getting together again. I wonder if he's changed his mind since it looks like I might be moving 10 hours away... Kinda sad because I like the guy, but I'm not
Very impressive! I can see why you are in the honors program! Really? Thanks! I liked it, but then I'm biased. Good intro, sucked me right in. Glad you liked it. (You could skip the use of the word "had" though...passive voice and all that.) If you only knew how much I struggle with "had" sometimes. It's my worst writing habit, I think. Thanks for p
Given whatever your ex was going through to have him want to take a break from his relationship with you, and it sounded very serious, telling him may have only added to the stress he was already suffering. That's what I thought at the time. I just didn't think he needed one more serious thing in his life at the moment. I thought he needed me to be a drama-free zone. I was his escape. It seemed cruel to take that away from him, even though it may be
I started working on this a long time ago... and I've worked on it sporadically ever since. Before I continue with it, I thought I would put the beginning up here to see what everyone thinks. I hope you enjoy it. It's titled "Elemental" CHAPTER ONE Lindarié had never felt such grief. She took the heavy crown off her aching head, but could s
I don't have much to add, because it's all been said already...but I wanted to iriterate, I'm sorry you had to experience this. Hugs! Thanks. I'm doing fine with just me. It just bothered me that I never told him, and I felt like I had to tell someone. It's been helpful to get both sides o
I haven't graduated yet, but they're already calling me to "support my alma mater". My response? "Haven't you gotten enough money out of me?"
You are so together for a college student. Wow. I should be. I graduate in May.
My first thought was at least you didn't have to decide. As sad as this story is, I think making a choice (either way) about the baby, and then living with the results would bring much deeper sorrow. You are too right. I feel very lucky whenever I think about how my life could have been. I may be pro-choice, but I don't know if I could have gone through it, or lived with myself afterwards. Please don't have unpr
Tex: Thanks. Maybe you're right. Actually, I know you're right about part of it. All the worrying and wondering isn't doing me any good. It's part of my personality to worry about things I can't control. I should really stop that. *hugs* I'm very sorry you went through all this. Thanks. PS - I had a dream about you and Michael last night. Very bizarre. That is strange... were th
Good for you that you could and did share this. You have my support and respect. Thanks. That means a lot to me. DONT! IN the end, there is only opinions. NO facts, no packaged answers. Just opinions. Dont ever feel like that. If you are right, that is stupid to feel that way. If you are not, that is a mistake. Not a Bitch. I feel like a bitch because I'm making excuses. I do think he would want to kno
I'm not sure what to say to this, except that it is lovely. And I wish I could sing like that.
Oh, and...SHE...congrats on the feature! Well said. Thanks to ye both. The question should be extended further: If students of minority groups are not up the same level of education as majority students, what steps can we take to close the gap. Also very well said. No, it is the goal. One I have no idea how we
Ah, so then is 'equal opportunity' a myth? Some children are disadvantaged because their parents don't read to them, don't speak good English and don't encourage them to take advanced classes. But these children should be held to the same standard as children who have had more opportunities? They have the same opportunities to learn, just aren't encouraged to do so. It's true that children will do better if their parents help them, but it isn't required
(((((SHE))))) Thanks San. I needed that.
We were going to get married. There was definitely a relationship there. Then he broke up with me before I could tell him that I was pregnant. Now, after lying to me, betraying me, and falling in love with someone else, I don't even speak to him. So, while there was a relationship, there will be no future relationship. Telling him now is out of the question. It just won't happen. He probably wouldn't take my call anyway, and e-mail just seems to be the wrong way to do this. And,
San: sorry to make you frown, man. It's ok, Doc. I understand. I really do. And he would probably feel the same way if I told him. I would not have had an abortion without talking to him. I would not have had the baby and given it up without talking to him. Had I not lost the baby, I would have talked to him about it. It wouldn't be right otherwise. But, after I lost it, I just couldn't tell him, couldn't do it to him. I really wish I had told him, though. L
I was wondering if the problems were in the test themselves. I don't know much about them, so are they internally assessed (assignments), one big written exam or an oral exam etc? And how about the actual questions in the exams, could they be reworded to be more diverse? The ACT is the standard test. You answer a series of questions in four areas: math, science reasoning, reading and English. The problem with the tests is not that they aren't
Yeah, Doc, it sucked. It still sucks. I wish I had told him. I honestly don't know what I would have done if I hadn't lost the baby. It didn't occur to me at the time that I was going to have to tell him eventually. I didn't think about it. I couldn't think about much, to be honest. I wasn't exactly working on all four cylinders. Would there have been any point in telling him later, after I lost the baby and he felt that his world was "still upside down"? I honestly
So the solution is to make the footing equal from the start, not re-start the race from somewhere in the middle. Can't we do both? I'm not sure we can. With the current way students are admitted to the Honors Program, there is no way to take a "top 10%". I don't think it would work out either. That would leave some students with high scores left out just because they are white and middle class. Wouldn't that be racist against them? "Oh
I hate these kinds of exercises, which means I ain't gonna do it!
Some of you will say I should have told him. Others of you will say I did right. It really doesn't matter now, as I can no longer tell him. However, I have to tell someone. So I will tell you. It was July 4th. I had gone to visit my boyfriend because I had a few days off, as did he. We hadn't seen each other much lately, so we spent little time... ah...
There was no manager, or I would have. I know she didn't care, which is too bad. But nobody insults my momma and gets away with it.
