I'm trying to think of this term I learned awhile ago and have somehow forgotten. My history teacher used it to describe the 1920's and how people were to "eat drink and be merry because tomorrow we may die". I remember he said the word or term came from some group or person in ancient times who really supported that idea. He also mentioned something about the story the Grasshopper and the Ant.

1. Please say me the difference.

2. Please tell me the difference.

If both are right, tell the difference. If either is wrong say the reason.

I will be graduating with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice in August of 2008. I want to become a firefighter but am recently burnt out. I want to move to Oahu for one year and live my dream. I have wanted to move to Hawaii since I was at least 17 (now 22). I am this close to buying my one way ticket for September. Only thing is I am worried about my parents, they want me to get my paramedics license, and get everything now. They are sort of strict. I have quite a bit of money in the bank and will be using that. I feel if I tell them what I am doing they will say no and not let me go. I think if I buy the ticket now, wait until May when I graduate and tell them, it would be too late for them to stop me. I want to have a roomate before I move to tell them I found a place. I am just worried about my parents stopping me from doing this and not letting me use my bank money. Plus I will be 23 when I leave and just turn 24 when I get back. What should I do?

I really want to go to the University of New Mexico (UNM) but I am afraid I won't get in because I read on their website that to get in you need to have a 2.25 GPA in all your high school courses, I am a good student but I kind of had a bad spot in my life during my sophmore year and so I did not earn the 2.25 GPA in four of my classes but have the 2.25 GPA + in all my other classes, so do you think they will reject my application because of this? Do you have any advice on what I should do next?

or "flock" the collective noun?

I applied to both UofM and MSU... I'm leaning toward UofM but I'm not sure. I'd like to do the honors program which both have. I want to go into political science/pre-law.

Any input/insight to help my decision process?

I'm really clueless about what UC's require, but I still really want to get into one.

Um...so I'm really in a slump about my grades and I don't have all A's this year as a sophomore (A-, B-, B-, B+, A, A) which disappoints me. The B's that I do have though are in AP classes (AP world history, AP biology) and I hear that in UC they add extra points for AP. I'm also not doing any extra stuff right now like clubs, sports, community service.

I hear its tough to get in...So can I still get in? Do I have a chance? Any recommendations, advice? I plan to join some community service clubs during my junior year...

Just asking, so I can be prepared. I don't want to wait. I'm planning what I'm gonna do and need to know what I need.

Also, I'll know what kind of books they are and know what I need to study.

Thanks ;)
