Education & Reference - 4 August 2006

Might be just a UK thing. Im trying to trace the track used on the VW EOS advert. The first line of the song is "I woke up dreaming, I had escaped". The ad has a car going down a road with everything either side blown up in size... BBQ, Flowers, coffee maker etc..

When people use abbreviations for example, or text speak such as 'c u l8r', does it make you think that the English language is basically falling apart? I ask because in my mind, as long as the intended message is understood by the recipient, does it matter how it'c communicated?

Long question I know, but I'm interested in some genuine answers (ah go on, some joke answers too!)

Continuing my rants on how I hate university, let me explain just why I do. I just don't feel in my heart that it was meant for me. I feel as if I go there, I will feel out of place just like I did in high school- with no one to relate to. I feel like I am just too different in my views from anyone else. Everyone will probably just want to take it easy and party and get drunk, and I hate the popular girls who party every weekend night and get all the hot guys and drink and have sex but secretly crave to be one of them but know I won't because I am too shy and have conflicting views. I also feel that university just sucks money out of you and sometimes the degree you get won't even get you a better job than those who haven't gone to uni. There are also other things I want to do with my life, like just having fun with the simple things - hanging out with my real friends, not those that just want you for sex and are more concerned with looks than what's inside. What do you guys think?

I really want to get into Stanford but I'm not sure of what they require for someone to get into Stanford. My family is not rich and I don't think we can afford to let me to go Stanford, but will financial aid help much? Like what do I need to do to get financial aid? How much will I need to pay for the tuition? What will I need to do in High School to get into Stanford? I'm only in 10th grade right now so I'm thinking about college and all.. Please explain clearly. Thanks.

In fiction writing, can I separate the text with three asterisks?

"Joe, tell us about your life."

***

I was born in New York.

When I was ten, I played ball.

As a teenager, I dated infrequently.

(If this narration goes on for pages, do I enclose each paragraph in quotes?)
