Education & Reference - 19 November 2006

So about a year from now I will be applying for financial aid for college. At this moment I am currently thinking of investing money into a bank Certificate of Deposit which will last for 11 months. So by the time the CD matures it should be around October 2007. If I take out the CD as it matures in October and then apply for Financial Aid on January 2008. Would the CD that matured which I have withdraw affect the amount of Financial Aid I will be able to recieve for college?

I live in the US and have a good friend in Haiti. I would really like to get him in college here in the US as an exchange student. How would I go about doing that? I know there was an exchange student from Haiti when I was in college a few years back, so it can be done. I don't even know where to start. He's in his last year of high school right now and he is top of his class.

I posted this question earlier..BUT I didn't get the answers I was quite looking for.

They were excellent suggestions..but it'd be a little difficult to write about the selections given (Thank you to those who answered!)

Anyway. I need to write a short story..less than 5 pages...and it can be about anything.

It can be happy or sad, a mystery, or thriller.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much!

I'm currently applying to universities (in Ontario, Canada-- mainly McMaster and Waterloo)... and I can't decide between Civil or Mechanical engineering. I've done so much researching into both areas, but I don't know any engineers personally, to ask questions... Anyone have any pros and cons for civil and mechanical engineering? any advice towards which one is better? (to anyone with experience in the programs in school or in the work force) And being female, what kind of competition should I be expecting?

This girl likes shopping at the Georgia Mall.
When compared to me, she is really tall.

I would say that for sure she’s quite smart.
She also has an interest in art.

She likes to go to the beach and have fun,
laying out underneath the coastal sun!

Cookie Dough ice-cream is the best to her.
Say she is ugly then I must concur!

Dancing was her best in the early years,
But all she does now is tumble and cheer.

Her boyfriend is the star of the team, and
When they’re together their smiles beam!

I need help interpreting some Thoreau quotes from "Where I Lived and What I Lived For":

-"Pause! Avast! Why so seeming fast, but deadly slow?"

-"And we are enabled to apprehend at all what is sublime and noble only by the perpetual instilling and drenching of the reality that surrounds us."

-"Be it life or death, we crave only reality."

-"Shams and delusions are esteemed for soundless truths, while reality is fabulous."

I have an idea of what Thoreau means, but I am having trouble explaining it coherently. Could you please paraphrase the quotes for me?

I'm stressing out there!! I'm in college and classes are cancelled Wednesday for Thanksgiving break. I orginially had 2 classes on Tuesday, one from 8:00-9:50 and the other at 12:30-1:45. My 8:00 class was cancelled and since I hate my 12:30 class (and it's seriously pointless!)...I was going to skip it and go home tomorrow instead! However, I just got an email from my teacher, for my 12:30 class, saying we're going to be doing this reference thing on Tuesday and we should not be absent! In this class, we make up our own assignments and due dates and we haven't gotten a grade for anything yet (I guess we turn it all in the end)...I don't do anything in that class because I have all my projects on my computer and the only reason we go to that class is to work with your group (if you're doing a group project) or if you need the teacher's help. He says he wants to check our reference list, but I don't think we're going to get a grade for having it...
