i'm about to apply to graduate school...like everyone i have the choice to either stay in-state or out-of-state. the thing is i think it would be better for me to stay in state and also near my home for financial reasons [because come on tuition is not the only thing i'll be paying and for graduate programs you will have to take loans]. but people keep telling me to go out-of-state and just get a bigger loan and just pay it later...that sounds good but for some reason it seems irresponsible to me..i dont know maybe i'm over-thinking about this...what would YOU do if you were in my shoes???

In my English course, we write responses papers throughout the semester.

It's only gotta be 250-500 words.

My last free-write topic was about Enron, and I did that just because I was learning about it in another class, hah.

But my professor mentioned if he had to read about papers about abortions again he would have to kill himself. I'm assuming he doesn't want a common topic.

Any interesting topics that I could write about?

I was thinking about Yahoo! Answers (hah) or animal cruelty.

I volunteer at a preschool two streets away from me every Wednesday, Monday and Thursday (it's the same class and they only have class on those dates).
Yesterday, one of the children was eating his snack when he came over to me and asked if he could have a grape soda instead of the milk that was given to every child. I didn't know what to say so I politely told him that there wasn't any soda here. He shrugged and said, "Maybe Monday."
He then returned to his table and continued eating. I asked the teacher if that was a good decision and she said yes.

I didn't want to lie to him, but what could I do?


He's four years old, what do you think I should've done?

She was unlike other teachers who would give out less homework to avoid extra work for herself, but gave out homework that would force students to apply themselves and realize what they were capable of achieving, even though she didn't really have the time to grade all of those extra papers.
