Education & Reference - 21 October 2007

I live in Los Angeles County and would love to stay close to my family after the recent loss of my mom. I am a junior level transfer student and was graced with admittance to both UC campuses at Irvine and at Davis for Winter(I start in 2 months).
I took the answer one Yahoo member provided me with (thank you!) and went to visit the campus at Davis. I have visited Irvine, but did not go on a campus tour and left with a bad vibe.

My major is definitely History...but I will probably double or triple major/minor in Political Science or International Relations or Italian or English.

I felt that UC Davis put on a better show than Irvine, but then again, I spent my visit at Irvine in the counseling office, trying to figure out my school situation and didn't see much of the campus.
I have to decide by the 31st.

Dining at UCI looks awful
Davis has no lights
I like the beach
I like people a lot
I like being busy
Parties are OK
I love being involved w/ school
I adapt easily
Irvine is safe

There's this creepy guy and unfortunately we have something we need to discuss over the phone, stuff about legal papers, but I don't want him to find out my new phone number. I already had to change it. Is there a way to make my phone automatically hide my number? I have a Razr.

Or

Can I make it seem like I'm calling from one place but I'm really not there. Sort of like disguising an area code? Because I don't want him to know where I live. Or will my whereabouts show up on his phone bill? Ackkk.

"Ain't" seems perhaps more commonplace in speech in 2007 then is "ginormous." But are there any settings where "ain't" still sounds like an vulgarity? In other words, could you still get in trouble or at least be frowned upon if you use "ain't" in speech? Can you say "ain't" in debates, speeches, or presentations? & I dunno if this is used often, but if "ain't" is typed or written, is that unacceptable in some practices? (e.g. thesis statements, reports, columns)

I left a school in another state where I taught high school biology to mostly 10th graders. There were a few students I had that came from foster care, or similar rough backgrounds and I am still worried about them, and concerned because no one seemed to love them. Sometimes I worry to the point of tears. Am I just a huge emotional over reactor? I keep in touch with a few of them on myspace (they initiated contact) but I seldom hear from them. It has been over a year since I moved away.
