Education & Reference - 21 November 2007

I am a single mom and I currently taking university and my loans are ALOT as I need over $2 000 a month for living expenses for my kids on top of tution. WHen I am done university and working, I will have 4-6 years of loans to pay back and I will still be taking in more money after paying loans than I am used too. So if people can still live comfortabely and pay off loans, why the pressure to save for the kids college fund?

I know there is no "ideal" pre law degree, but some degrees HAVE to better than others. I know I should just do what I am interested in (the humanities) but which major would help the most in law school, or be similar to law school. I have heard everything from accounting to English.
Advice?

Ok, last year, tenth grade in Biology I had a straight A+ average...even on the exam I got a 98 and I only studied for 3 hours. I thought I wanted (and even at the beginning of this year I wanted to go to college and become a neurosurgeon)

Fast forward to this yr...AP Bio. II everyone got a B and I was one of them w/ the exception of two kids who wanted to be neurosurgeons also (They got As)...and the teacher even told the A+ one "He's our next neurosurgeon" which completely made me want to change career paths.

I think I am able to get an A but i'm the only one in the class that is also in Honors English which takes sooo much work...but that is not an excuse.

I still like the brain but I have absolutely no interest in carbs etc. so that didn't help either

And bascially, am I still cut out to be a neurosurgeon since being 1 means being the BEST...not avg...

So should I choose something diff. or just stay w/ it?

THANKS

I'm an eighth grader taking ninth grade Algebra and my teacher goes very quickly and I am so busy I can never schedule extra help sessions with him. Are there any websites that explain Algebra well so that I can understand the material we are learning in class and even go ahead?

I know she has been on the show for years, but she is very quiet and she only seems to talk when she reads out the meanings of the words in the dictionary and when Des O'Connor speaks to her and Carol Vorderman talks all the time and also interuppts Des when he is speaking. I just don't like seeing people on a TV programme like Countdown who don't talk very often when other people do.

I have an assignment to complete 48 equations. Unfortunately, I have only completed 47 and have 1 left. Please try to figure it out and let me know if you come up with anything. The problems are below:


24=B.B. in a P.


Thank you so much and it can be anything from math to nursery rymes. Thank you again. If you don't know how to do it, here is how-

Ex.- 26=L. of the A.
This means 26= letters of the alphabet.
There are 26 letters in the alphabet. Each equation contains the initials of the words that will make the statement correct. To solve the equation, just supply the missing words.
If you still don't get it, here is another example-
24=H. in a D.
This means 24= hours in a day.

I am writing a paper which is mostly a historical look at unions in the united states. I have found one really good book and am basically following the same outline that the author uses. Although the majority of my paper is paraphrased from the one book, I do not want to have to footnote every sentence but i am scared of getting in trouble for plagiarism. Since most of the info contains numbers or facts, it is not common knowledge but when do i footnote and when do i not?

I don't understand this quote and need some help - it's for an English essay. I just need somebody to phrase it another way so I am then able to interpret it.

"As an allegory, the story has one enormous failure: the persons of Lenin and Trotsky are combined into one [i.e., Snowball], or, it might even be truer to say, there is no Lenin-pig at all. Such a stupendous omission cannot have been accidental.... Orwell in his essays was fond of saying that both Lenin and Trotsky bore some responsibility for Stalinism; by eliding this thought... he may have been subconsciously catering to the needs of tragedy."

Thanks in advance!
