1. Up is down? Well, that's just maddenly unhelpful.
2. I was adorable once. Young and full of hope. Now, look at me. I'm a short, fat, insecure, middle aged thing!
3. You get what you settle for.
4, Your life, on the other hand, is like this box of ACTIVE GRENADES!
5. A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark.
6. 'Neat.' What are you, 12 years old?

Just because the school systems refuse to acknowledge that there are significantly different ways students are able to learn, doesn't mean that the academically gifted are anymore gifted than someone who is visual-spatial.

Neurologist found that we mainly use our left side of the brain or the right side. Left-brainers are sequential, and right- brainers are visual. There's nothing anyone can do to change that. They are both are crucial in society. Almost 70% of students are left-brainers, so what about the other 30% who get a100% in art, but 70% in academics because the school system was too lazy and ignorant to admit the facts and put to use these facts.

Now they say bull crap like "No child left behind" when the school is responsible for making sure all children are taught, and include all methods of teaching. I'm a visual learner and perfectionist. You can't learn to be visual, and neither can I learn in your way.

Why are academics so highly esteemed over all?

I'll be graduating in December with a B.S. in Geology and I know that I want to go to grad school, but I'm feeling burned out. I've been in college straight through since Fall '02, working full time in the summer, and I'm tired. If I take some time off, get a job, travel, whatever, will that hurt my chances of getting into grad school later? I'm worried that if I go while I feel burned out, I won't do well, but if I wait maybe I won't get in and/or I'll forget everything I've learned thus far.

Advice? :-)
