I've had good grades forever but the 3rd marking period of 8th grade has been really hard on me. I've been getting D's and C's instead of A's. I just don't feel motivated like I used to. What can I do?

I don't know the proper spelling, but I'm sure we've all heard the swear word / phrase: FUKINAY. I know that's not how it's spelled but hopefully I spelled in phonetically enough so that people know what I'm talking about and it makes it through the Yahoo Answer sensors.

Anyway, what does that word or phrase mean and where does it come from? I know what the first "word" means, the word that rhymes with "truck" but what's with the "in-A" after it. It's a phrase I've been hearing for many years now, just never knew what it meant.

Any insight is appreciated, thanks.

If the three angles of a triangle are x/3, x/3, and x, what is the value of x?

I tried to do it like this:

X/3 + X/3 + X = 180
(X/3 + X/3) x 3 + X = 180 x 3
3X= 540
540/3 = 180
x = 180

Obviously that's not right. So how do I do this? I don't know what to do...

I am a senior in college majoring in psychology. Upon graduation my GPA will likely not be any higher than 3.0. I know I am intelligent and can handle intense work, just a lot of things got in the way during my undergrad work. So far, I haven't done any extracurricular activities and I have almost no work experience. I plan to start an atheist student organization on campus and to do a research project of some sort in psychology.
In addition to these things, what can I do to really impress the admissions board at a law school despite all my weaknesses? The gem of my eye is Duke Law School even though it is extremely hard to get in. Please help!!!

Expected GPA: 3.0
Time left: 2 semesters
Expected LSAT: 160+

For a Spanish class presentation on Friday, I have to make an illustration of the proverb "do as I say, not as I do" to show the class. In addition, I have to describe this proverb and tell its meanings, examples, etc. Anyone have any suggestions on how to go about this? Or what I should consider drawing in order to explain the proverb visually? Thanks!

Here is the topic: [Being Unprepared] Because you have been sick, out of town, busy at work, or working on other homework, you didn't have as much time to study for an important test as you needed. Think of a specific test you took that you felt unprepared for and narrate the events. Tell your readers about the preparation that you were able to do, the reasons that you didn't get to prepare as well as you wanted, taking the test, and any significant events that happened after you took the test. Your paper should help readers understand what it felt like to be unprepared.

Now here's the question: How can I catch the reader's attention in the topic sentence/first paragraph? Can you help?

Hi everyone. I am so confused as to what to major in. I love so many things but this year is very critical to me. I want to be able to get a better paying job with a Bachelor Degree (I have no problem getting a Masters but I'd rather not HAVE to have one) and I'm not sure if Criminal Justice or Marriage and Family therapy is the best one to go. Which one will pay better?

Serious answers only. Thank you so much.
