Look at President Bush, he graduated from Yale and he can't even conjugate verbs in his own language.

And if an American were to earn a degree in Latin America or Africa, wouldn't there be a 'the boy's got balls' factor?

I know this word, but for some reason it's just not popping into my head. It means that instead of improving as time goes by, you're kind of going "backwards" and worsening. There's this big, fancy word for it...
Please help!

The study reported on the condition, gynecomastia, in three boys aged 4, 7 and 10. The boys were brought to their doctors with overdeveloped breasts that looked like those of girls in early puberty. They all returned to normal when they stopped using skin lotions, hair gel, shampoo or soap with the natural oils.

I'm writing an essay on epiphany in literary works. In "Epiphany in Modern Novels" Beja pointed out 5 types of epiphany, but I think there must be more. Would anybody tell me the types of epiphany, and hopefully, point out some literary works for example.

I was planning on majoring in Molecular biology and Spanish. Is a double major a risk even though I feel confident about these two majors. I really do like Molecular biology and Spanish. But for pre-med I think it looks good to double major in something you like right?

Personally, I think it's a good idea. If you missed an important equation during lecture or so because you just couldn't pay attention, you should be able to learn it on the Internet. That's what technology is for right? Just as long as you LEARN IT, not just get the answer (you're hurting yourself anyway through the latter). What do you think.

erm i wrote an essay for an argumentative essay class for college... was generally a thorough essay... everything was done well... the only criticism the professor gave was... that my quotes needed to be contextualized or "framed" more clearly...
honestly... i have NO IDEA what this means... coz he said that my peer reviewer commented on that... and what my peer reviewer said was "there are a couple of places that quotes mayb used out of context. please be careful to make sure that the author's original voice is heard"

oooook now i m reeeeeeeeeally confused...

forget the lame peer reviewer... but what does my professor mean? O.O
