i'm going to a new high school this year for performing arts. I wanted to sign up for sports to get involved. the thing is, is that i never signed up for them at my old school, because all of the girls were very mean. Well this week there is tennis practice. It's early in the morning, and i dont know ANYONE. we're all coming from different towns, so im really scared. I also, never played tennis before. i mean i REALLY want to learn, i have a passion for it. The coach says its fine that i never played. but im worried im going to get there and be the only one that doesnt know how. it's a scary thought of being made fun of, or secluded. you know?? what should i do to get these thoughts out of my head, and try to get ready for practices ?? Thanks in advance for all your help =]

any sentence fragments?
By 1918, Walker's plans had come to nothing. His own estate on mount Falcon burned to the ground that year, in a mysterious fire. He had lost most of his fortune and could no longer proceed with the summer White House constrcution. Walker dies penniless in 1931. Few remembered his grand ambitions. Except for some of the children who had given their pennies for Walker's plans. Now grown to adulthood, they still kept the old postcards. Showing the glorious building that had been propsed for Mount Falcon. And once in a while, remembered how much fun it had been to share the eccentric tycoon's wild dream.

I know "with the exception of" means "except", what about "within the exception of"?
The original scentence is：
“Within the exception of damages to life, health and body; the liability of Pharmaplan is limited, in all cases, to 50% of the engineering fee cntracted.”
What place does it use? Can any one paraphrase it?
Thank you so much!

If I take a non-credit course next semester, will any other institutions be able to see that I completed the course, or will I have to treat it like an extra-curricular event and save it for my resume?

I want to graduate early from High School. I'm going into ninth grade now. I took my SAT's in May, and got an average of 730 for each part, Math being 750. What would I have to do to achieve this? I know it'll take a lot of hard work. Also, I see some of the benefits, but what beyond the obvious of starting college early? Also, what about drawbacks?

Thanks

I'm going on my second year in college. I attended a prestigious school with a good reputation however the experience was not fun for me. I didnt really enjoy my freshmen year and I felt alone even though I was involved on campus. I visited my friend at her school and I loved it. I loved the people, the environment, and it just seemed like they really enjoyed it there. So I visited again and again and even stayed while she was in classes and I felt AT HOME. Although only knowing five people there I didnt feel lonely. I was comfortable.

Now I'm considering transferring. I've already been accepted, but I dont know if I should go. The second school does not have as good of a reputation as the school I attend does. When I tell people where I go they are impressed and that makes me feel good...but is that enough? My parents tell me they dont care where I go as long as I am in school, but I kind of feel like I'm letting them down.

I just recieved my grade for my speaking and listening talk for english (goes towards my GCSEs). I also have a stutter (not to serious) so i'm really shocked. I just thought I would share this with the world :D.

I have never got an A* before and english is my only strongest subject so yea, i'm extremely happy!. Although, I wish I could get an A* in every subject :(

Also, my "so called friend" told me at the start of the year I could never get an A* so I can't wait to tell her!!

Sorry everyone for wasting your time reading this question, but I just felt like expressing my feelings :D

What would count for academic achievements for entry into a university that requires some sort of evidence of academic achievements?

Does anyone have any ideas? Not only awards, but anything else? Besides GPA, etc, what else?

According to the textbook, the Neolithic Revolution has caused several dramatic developments that have changed the nature of human existence. The introduction to agriculture encouraged the formation of larger as well as more stable human communities. This allowed many people to settle more permanently in one area. With better food supplies and a “more settled existence,” agricultural people could afford to build better houses and villages. As agricultural farming became more elaborate, the need for new tools sprang. Soon, the invention of the potter’s wheel came into existence around 6000 B.C.E. Eventually, this in turn, encouraged faster and higher-quality pottery production. The need for even higher quality tools came around 4000 B.C.E, where the use of metalworking became commonplace after the Neolithic Revolution. These newly found inventions freed many people from the community for specialized jobs and activities. As farming evolved, new animals were also domesticated. ....
