Eragon Project
Posted Tuesday December 12 2006, 12:32 am
This is for the people who have read Eragon by Christopher Paolini:
In my (12th grade) english class, we're supposed to make a "mystery bag" of atleast 6 items that refer to the book. So far, I have a miniture dragon toy, a blue egg, a toy sword, and tarot cards (for the fortune telling). That's all I could think of.
Any suggestions on the last 2?

Racism
Posted Monday December 11 2006, 7:09 pm
Okay, I'm gonna say sorry for some of the words I'll be using but anywhos.
You know when you say like negro [sp] or nigger to an african american or call everyone from south american mexicans (which means you're ignoring their individuality) it's considered racism and rude and hateful remarks using vitriolic words? Well, when people call someone form south korea a chinese or japanese, that's considered racism too. It's saying that all the individual countries are not important enough for them to acknowledge them as seperate places.
It's really hurtful to the person recieving these racist remarks like me. I'm from south korea and there's this girl that keeps on calling me chinese or japanese and makes fun of me by sayin...

I'm thinking of doing the SAT in January or March. What I wanted to ask was, if you have done the SAT, what did you find was the best way to prepare for it? What helped you the most? Do you have any advice?

For our final for PE we have to write an essay on what job we aspire to have and how we plan to get there. I know that i want to become a young child/teenage counsoler, and i probably will want to work in a school. So i have a few questions.
What's the difference between a counsoler,psychologist, and a psychiatrist?

Forensics Team
Posted Sunday December 10 2006, 1:22 am
14/f
Basically I joined the forensics team (poetry competition thing) this year and this is my first time actually getting into the whole forensics scene. I never really tried at all in middle school but I want to this year for the team. Well, I'm going to compete in the impromptu category in the upcoming competition in January along with duo interpretation [i think it's called]
Are there (from experience) any tips for me? Like how should I be creative with an impromptu topic, hand gestures, body language, tone, mood, etc. How do I get into the whole thing so I can get really good scores? What do judges look for in competitiors for those two categories? Just any tips and tricks you guys can give me. Thanks =]

mom and school
Posted Saturday December 9 2006, 10:08 am
let me just start off by saying that i despise my school with a passion. my dream is to become really rich and turn the school into a parking lot. what makes me even more mad about it, is that when i go there, myu mom knows how much i can't stand it, and she sees me crying, and she doesn't care. I've been in this school since second grade, and now i'm a sophmore, but it's a pretty advanced school, however, the tuition is about twenty-thousand dollars. i have some type of scholarship, where i have to pay only about 572 dollars monthly instead of the one thousand seven hundred dollars. in a school at this level of difficulty, it's very difficult to pull the best grades. I'm not saying that I have horrible grades, but their definatley not what...

Parties?
Posted Friday December 8 2006, 4:56 pm
So I'm a 17 year old guy and I'm a senior in High School. I also have a good number of friends. I've never been to a party before, or even a party with alochol. Most kids at my school have been to those kinds of parties, and I just feel left out and "Un-cool". Is it bad that I've never been to that kind of party, cuz I feel really stupid and anti-social and I feel that If I don't go to one I'll be hated by the people I like or looked bad apon.

is it normal?
Posted Thursday December 7 2006, 10:12 pm
is it normal for my handwriting to change depending on what moods i am in? the reason i am asking is because my teacher recently gave me like 5 zeros because she said that hand writing wasn't mine...AND IT WAS ALL THE ASSIGNMENT! the questions were written in cursive and the answers in a loopy print....so what's the deal. i tried to tell her and i swore to her that i didn't cheat....i even tried to show here other work samples but she wouldn't have a look at them. what should i do? and do you think my handwrting is changing because of my mood?

Applying to Boarding School
Posted Thursday December 7 2006, 5:31 pm
Okay, so this is really a two part question. Basically, I'm applying to a prestigious boarding school and I have to do a bunch of stuff in order to get in.
1. I have to do a math or science project to showcase what I can actually do. Any ideas? I want to do something impressive but not too hard or time consuming.
2. I also must do another project. . . art, writing, anything like that. It needs to express 'who I am'. Even though you don't know me, what is a good idea?
I would appreciate you advice!
