Education & Reference - 14 October 2007

I am from the Philadelphia area and someone close to me is approaching college age. They are about 90% certain that they are going to college, but have no interest in putting forth any academic effort. This has largely been the result of the friends that this person keeps; they are not interested in anything, and their attitude has started to rub off. Thankfully the individual in question will not be seeing them anymore for the time being, and I want to use this time to help this person explore academic areas that might interest this person.

I do not want to force this individual into any field, but I want this person to have an idea of what each academic major offers. Perhaps this person has great interests in a particular field that went unexpressed while with this group of friends (or as I think of them- thugs). I cannot say, but I want this to be done in a way that seems nonchalant, ie- going to a museum.

Any suggestions?

Being held a food connoisseur, he may not have access
TO BREATHE SUCH VOWS AS LOVERS USE TO SWEAR.

I need to rework the second line so it fits with the rest of my parody, which has a food theme. Any ideas? What can't a food connoisseur do, or what doesn't he have access to? Thanks for all suggestions.

okay, so i am rooming with a person who is very nice and polite, but sometimes she doesn't realize that i need my own space or time alone. it gets kind of annoying sometimes, but i guess i'd prefer that over a mean person or a drunkard. should i room with them again next year? i mean, i'd be in a suite with 2 other people who are nice and respectful of each other's solitary time. maybe i should just politely let them know that sometimes i need time alone? how do i do that? thanks.

I had a math teacher in Rivers Trail Jr High in My. Prospect Ill, that changed my life. I often think of him and what he did for me...he changed my life forever and I would give anything to thank him. Coming from a very abusive home he encouraged me in such a wonderful way...he was the first person to tell me that I was smart...he made me believe in me. My words could never fully explain what his giant foot print in my life did for me...but I would love the chance to tell him.

any suggestions
