I am playing a game called Mass Effect and in the game reffering to a blue star the description says it "burns at half again the temperature of Sol". Since our star (Sol) is yellow i'm assuming that it means one and a half times as hot as Sol, but this is just a guess.

anyone know the answer to this?

I remember reading somewhere a quote by Raven Symone that was like "If other people are making fun of you, think 'are what they saying about me true?' If not, then why let it bother you?"

I am now a Junior in highschool, and I'm going in to the second semester of the year. My GPA has gone from bad, to worse throughout the 3 years ive been in highschool, and now that i take time to think about it, it really makes me feel like a failure. My gpa freshman year was a 2.8 or something, sophmore was 2.4, and this year its about a 2.0. The reason my grades have fallen is due to personal matters outside of school that make me want to kill, and have almost gotten me killed. These problems are not to be explained to anyone, due to the fact that what I did was illegal, and people would look at me differently. My question is, how bad should I really feel? both my parents have been on my a$$ my whole highschool career, and even though I listened, I never quite took advantage of it. If i got a 4.0 the second semester of my junior year, would that make a significant impact for getting accepted into a somewhat decent college, or should I just do the same as I have been?

Not listing these in pro/con format, just stating facts.
-I'm about 5 quarters from my M.B.A. right now (killed some post-grad stuff while doing Bach.).
-Will cost me about 22,000 dollars, and about 15-16 months of work, to finish my M.B.A. (doing night classes, so I can work heavy part time for money).
-I can get loans that will cover the whole of that. Unsure so far if I can get any scholarships/grants or other "Free money" to offset how much that would be.
-I am already about 15K in the whole on student loans.
-My degree is in Criminal Justice, so the MBA will at least broaden my education (CJ is a one trick pony for getting jobs)
-In the long run, I do want a law degree.
-My school is not a big name school, it's a small private one. It IS accredited through a regional collective, that is accredited by the U.S. Department of Education. I checked to be safe.

I'll post the questions off these in an add on... running out of room here after listing details. Give me one sec.

I've seen adults even not using grammar...i'm not even 13 yet and I feel like i'm smarter than half the people on the internet..

Just..sad and pathetic.

It doesn't take that long to type out a full word.

'Chatspeak' makes you sound stupid and lazy.

Nobody will take you seriously when you use it, as well.

Example: lolol i jus scord 8 ptz at teh bbal gam3 lul im so kewl.

What is the best way to know you have a good chance to get accepted into UCLA. Im from australia and we dont have any college prep courses. Also would I need to take the sats or could I just use my op score (op score is a test all australian's need to take to get into a university depending that your op is high enough)

This ACT college planning site for High School Students(www.actstudent.org/college/plancourses.html) states:

"The courses you take in high school show colleges what kind of goals you set for yourself. Are you signing up for advanced classes, honors sections, or accelerated sequences? Are you choosing electives that really stretch your mind and help you develop new abilities? Or are you doing just enough to get by?"

What does this statement mean to you? And how does this relate to graduation requirements?

Thanks in advance!!! :)
