well i came to US 4 years ago and learned english perfectly in 1 year
i have to accent and no one even knows that i wasnt born here
so i turned in this essay, a rough draft, and as she was going over it, she asked me if english was me second language
so i said yes, and she told me she could tell and then listed all of the errors i've made.
she said this while other students were listening, and i know i should have stood up for myself, but i just said okay
what angers me is the fact that i can write better than half the class. i mean after all, i'm going to attend a private school, so i took an entrance exam which was looking at a poem and analyzing the poem in an assay
i was excepted into english honors
so if what she is sayig is true, that i don't write well and c onfuse verb tences, why the hell would i get into honors in a PRIVATE school
i am going to tell my mom, but what is your advice as to how i should handle this
thank youuuuz

For a small fee, you can be cryogenically frozen before you die so you can be brought back when medical science is advanced enough (Walt Disney had it done and is in a freezer in the basement below the Pirates of the Carribean display). If you had this done and it worked, what would happen to your soul while you were frozen?

It seems like the homosexuals in prison would either be very popular or very unpopular for whatever reason. Do they have their own area they are segregated in?
What about people who are extremely intelligent but not as they say "Street Smart". Like for example a doctor, dentist, professor. Someone who has never interacted with the typical types of prison population.

I don't know much about subway routes / lines etc. as I am going to NYC firsttime. I know there are some websites for some information.
But is there any free online books (pdf etc) which I can download and print which has Subway numbers lines/routes and maps ? I want to keep it handy.
I guess I can get it when I reach in NYC but wanted it now as I want to do some homework before my trip and decide itinerary. So that I dont get confused when I reach there.

This is part of the physical chemistry questions related to the conductivity of the electrolyte solutions:
Part a: A solution of KCl with a known conductivity of 0.012886 S/cm (per ohm per cm) has a resistance of 24.96 ohms when measured in a conductivity cell. A sample of the water used to prepare the solution had a resistance of 1 x 10^6 ohms in the same cell. What is the cell constant?
Part b: A solution of 0.0100 M acetic acid prepared using the same water as in part a had a resistance of 1982 ohms when measured in the same cell. What is the molar conductivity of the acetic acid?

An Octopus walks into a bar and says "I can play any musical instrument you like".
An Englishman gives it a guitar, which it plays better than Jimi Hendrix.
An Irishman gives it a piano, which it plays better than Elton John.
A Scotsman then throws it a set of bagpipes...
The octopus fumbles about for a couple of minutes without a sound from the bag pipes and then Scotsman then asks, "what's wrong, can ye no play it"?
The Octopus says, "Play It? I'm gonna f**k her brains out once I get her pyjamas off!"
