Education & Reference - 13 August 2007

I know that, technically, redemtion means 'the act of redeeming something', but I can't quite relate to that at all. Scenarios would be very helpful to me to understand this word more fully.

What subject in school do you think is the most boring?

For me, it's history - I thought it was very repetitive. Thankfully, I'm taking civics next year...I think that will be interesting

Switching universities at 2nd year.?

I am about to start my college life at a university about 7 hours away from my home and in the fall of 2007 i will be a freshman.

This past weekend i just went to a 3-day orientation and the school wasnt exactly what i imagined and i missed my family so much that i wanted to cry. I am a very shy person and its difficult for me to make friends and talk to people and i have never met before because sadly, i dont talk too much. i regret going to this university now, i picked it over another university that is 1 hour away from my home.

so now, i want to transfer to that university after my freshman year is over, but i have no idea if that would work. i heard it is very hard and i just need some help! i am currently a psy & social behavior major and i want to be a school teacher.

ok so down to the question - how can i transfer after freshman year from UC to UC? should i apply as a transfer student in nov?

What is the English word describing a person who dies on their birthday?

I'm asking this question for a friend. She insists that in high school she read across this strange word that describes a person dying on their birthday -- either down the road, or on the very day they're born. I'm not sure what part of speech (noun, adjective, etc.) the word is, but she's adamant that it exists and she's been wanting to rediscover this strange word. Are there any English-language savvy people out there that know this one?

please help rewrite this paragraph it sounds bad.?

Normally web pages are descriptive. Websites are categorized in different types, for example Professionals, Educational, Service based. While designing website, programmers must know the types of visitors so that he will design structure for website. If website is for education then definitely visitor for web are student then programmer needs to develop web which will attract students. If site providing web services then design of site must content easy navigations. In short, programmer must know survey of market.

what would you think of this type of professor, is it not ironic?

ok i had this professor on one occasion, who assigned us certain rather long and tedious passages from textbooks, essays, what have you. i had read the books that these passages etc were taken from in their entirety as to understand the coursework better. So one day i decided to go to their office to discuss some of what was written in them with the said instructor, but they hadn't read them at all- NEVER. I was really sad that a teacher would assign passages from books they had never actually read themselves. Needless to say i was rather discouraged since I couldn't actually talk to them about it. Is this lazy? or common among academia types?

please help?

ok um I was on lunch break ok my friend who's a girl sent me a message on myspace ok anyways, I kind of came home for my lunch break to check it, I came home and kind of saw my dad with his clothes off, watching playboy and well masturbating in my room on my bed. he didn't expect me to come home and I saw everything. I kept quiet pretty much all day. I felt so idk how I felt but I kept quiet, I never thought he would I guess idk. After he saw I was in the room he went into the bathroom right away. I did what I had to, went out without saying anything and left. I forgot my cell came back and he tried to be really nice to me, he offered me $50 to keep my mouth shut to not tell my sister, but I didn't take it. I honestly don't know what to do I don;t know how to feel towards this. I'm pretty sure he's embarassed, I know I would be, i'm not that open to discuss what I do with him, I feel thats private, but idk please give honest answers, it's a personal situation. and it's not a joke.
