Education & Reference - 29 January 2007

I'm currently a Senior in college and I'm a double major in Forensic Science and Chemistry. I would like to attend the School of Medicine at the Univ. of Pennsylvania to receive a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Science. I received a D in one of my classes. I had cancer a year and a half ago and had to go thru radiation treatments and medication. I felt really lousy that semester and did poorly in many of my classes. I have space to make up all of them for a better grade, but one of them is causing a financial hardship. I have to pay extra money for credit overages. And I will also have to register for my intership/research which could potentially cost me $2700. I don't want to take out a loan. I could drop this repeat class and register for my intership. The only drawback is that I will have to live with a D on my transcript which bothers me, especially since I would like to go on to grad school, an Ivy at that. My GPA right now stands at a 3.5.

I am doing research on my last name, and "-otta" is the suffix. I haven't been able to find info on it, only a bit on "-atti," but that was the closest, and I'm not sure if they are related. Any help would be great!

My 8 year old daughter is very intelligent, well-behaved, and in the top of her class. She really doesn't like school, though. I think that most kids have trouble relating with her, because she is advanced. This really troubles her. Also, she is very tender-hearted, so it hurts her feelings when she doesn't feel understood.

Should I home school, or does she need that social interaction?

Does anyone know what literary elements are present in this Sonnet and what the theme is?

Sonnet 54
Of this worlds theatre in which we stay
My love like the spectator ydly sits
Beholding me that all the pageants play,
Disguysing diversly my troubled wits.
Sometimes I joy when glad occasion fits,
And mask in myrth lyke to a comedy:
Soone after when my joy to sorrow flits,
I waile and make my woes a tragedy.
Yet she, beholding me with constant eye,
Delights not in my merth nor rues my smart:
But when I laugh she mocks, and when I cry
She laughs and hardens evermore her heart.
What then can move her? if not merth nor mone,
She is no woman, but a sencelesse stone.

-Edmund Spenser

It is true that some needs still remain, and the efforts have to be maintained in the domain of rehabilitation first, and more particularly concerning roads, bridges, dikes, drainage channels and rice fields. Indeed those types of civil engineering *productions* constitute the basis necessary to the recovery of the whole economy: achievements in infrastructures will facilitate transportation, the development of electricity and phone facilities and the re-starting of markets.

how am I supposed to tell my parents I want to drop out of college. I live with them and they paid my 3 grand for tuition. I completed 1 semester already and i am 3 weeks into my second, but I absolutly hate it, I hate school in general, I hate my classes, my classmates annoy me, I hate going to school, i know this course is not right for me, I feel very depressed and i think dropping out would be the right move for me right now, I can always go back right? I just want to work, and get out into the real world, i have already worked for a year before i enrolled in college I hated my job before, but I think i can find a much happier job for myself. i know my parents will say no, and if i really want to drop out ill have to go against their wishes wish in turn would mean my moving out, which I cant because I have zero money. what if i offered to pay them back 3 grand because I "wasted" their money, I feel like they will resent me for the rest of my life if I drop out.
