I have considered both occupational therapy and physical therapy (Master's in OT, or PTA) I know both can be rewarding careers, but I don't know which is right for me. I am going to try to shadow both sometime in the near future. Any advantages or disadvantages to either profession (salary, stress, schedules, etc)? I know getting my Master's in OT would take longer and probably be more demanding (I have my Bachelors in a related field, though) but is it worth it in the long run? I'm not concerned with the prestige of having a masters vs. downgrading to an associates. I just want to be happy with my work.

Here's the deal: A little while ago, I emailed my professor for the first time and called him "Dr. ................." But soon after in his office, I called him by his fist name - it just slipped!

Then in a subsequent email I adressed him by his first name because I already let it slip in his office. (He never said anything - he didn't seem bugged by it - but I'm sure he noticed the change).

Now I feel uncomfortable, though. Lile I crossed the line. He's really young and doesn't act "professor-like". Should I bring this up to him and ask him how he prefers to be called? I feel really weird.

I work 25 hours a week and I have to spend a longer time getting ready for my day because it is an office job, I am taking 16 credits, and living in the dorm so I don't have to cook my own food but I still have to do laundry. I am in an undergraduate research program that takes up 10-15 hours a month. And my classes aren't easy. I have to study a lot. Any good time savers or time management techniques to make everything go a little more smoothly (and give me some time to sleep)?

Prompt: Akira Kurosawa's film masterpiece Rashomon portrays several people who have witnessed a death. As each observer recounts the event as he or she witnessed it, we come to realize that each person's story varies greatly from every other account. Watching the movie, we reflect that the truth of an experience and perhaps all truth is different for each person.

Assignment: What is your opinion of the claim that truth is not objective, but rather is determined by each individual? In an essay, support your position by discussing an example (or examples) from literature, the arts, science and technology, history, current events, or your own experience or observation.

Which is better? I go to school and I have a tendency to procrastinate a lot. I'm trying to get rid of that habit but I'm not sure if it's best if I stay up as late as needed to get the work finished or wake up early tomorrow. It's bad to put things off but I've also heard it's bad to go to sleep late on a regular schedule...What do you recommend?

Hi,
Every time when I'm in class either my mind is looking at some girl or thinking about some girl. And sometimes I stare at the professors ( she is hot) and my mind goes somewhere. And sometimes there are professors who sound bored when they talk and my mind doze off.

How do I keep myself focus ?

Well I dont really know how to U.S education system works, because I am a Canadian student. Right now I am planning on applying to a business school, and I am seeing what options there are in U.S.

A little background:

My marks in Grade 12 is basically:

Calculus 93% (repeated), Business 93%, Accounting 93%, English 86%, Geography 91%, World Issues 90%, Chemistry 60%, and Data Management 70%.

I have done some extra curricular stuff, such as played Rugby and Football in my junior years, and played hockey in my senior year. Also I am a part of two clubs (one of which i am a VP) in the school.

Also in case it matters, my grade 11 average was 80%.

I am wanting to know how do the universities in the US look at repeated courses in high schools (do they take the higher mark, or an average of the two marks). Which university in the U.S. would be good for me to apply, considering the marks I have.

In Canada, the universities here take usually the top 6 marks in gr.12..Is US similar?
