In presenting the data we have sought to create a balance between the amount of information presented so that is relevant and useful but does not overwhelm with too much detail.

My gpa is a 3.6 (weighted) and I have an SAT score of 2030. I have a few extras- mock trial, peer mediation, and a few random clubs. I've done a lot of volunteer work and interned with the Republican Party. What are my chances of getting into a UC? (Davis, San Diego, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, etc?)

Okay, this may sound like a weird question, however, every time I think about it, I cannot explain it to myself.

How many times can you repeat a sentence such as "I thought that you thought that I thought that you thought..." before it stops making sense? Well... not really stop making sense, but... when you repeat it enough times, how would you interpret it?

Of course, I realize that nobody would ever use that kind of repetition in a sentence, so I'm just speaking hypothetically.

if thats hard to understand then ill rephrase it this way:
Why is it that I am able to coherently say:

"I thought that you thought that I thought that you thought.."

however if I were to repeat it a few more times, the sentence simply isnt coherent. My question is why is true, and is there a name for it?

please keep any and all sarcasm to yourselves :)

Where is this sentence derived from? Basically, If I call my friend this, I am insulting his mom/dad. So then what would "gun" mean in this context, if anything at all?

I am current a community college students in California, i plan to transfer to some UC. But before i enrolled in CC. i had enrolled in a university outside the U.S. for like half year before i immigrated here and i had bad grade at that time(cause i didnot study hard at that time) Now i study really hard in CC in order to transfer to a good university. So can i omit my academic history in my own country and just put C.C. i am in right now as the college i only enrolled in?

Will they find out?

I am forever changing the contents of my sensory tables. Sure I'll put the tradition sand and water, but I also put felt clippings, paper and scissors, goop, cooked pasta, baby oil, etc, etc. What do you put in yours?

When I was in High school I had a teacher She was struggling to have children and had a so-so relationship with her husband. I was having a very bad relationship with my Mother so when that teacher started giving me lots of attention I was happy. She'd read my poems and cry..or she'll tell everybody about my brightness and she would even talk to me about God and pray for me in school. I was going thru depression because of family problems and She would put sad songs in class that would talk about mother and daughters!! I'd step out of the classroom in tears..and then she'd give me comfort. This went on for a whole year. After I got out of her classroom I started feeling better..not depressed anymore etc.. I stopped talking to her because I didn't feel ok being around her. Was this wrong? Was she doing good or what?
