Recently Chicago has been making an effort to integrate more schools in chicago, but still the schools are segregated. At this day and time the world should be ashamed of its self. Minority schools are still without resources that there white youth have. How can we fix the system if you think it has a problem?

Think about the last time you attended a lecture or were in a classroom. Applying the information processing model, why did some things make it into your short-term memory and some things into your long-term memory? How can knowing this process increase your learning potential? How would you reduce the likelihood of forgetting important information?

I have been having strange dreams for the past week about me in different vehices, like a space shuttle, a submarine, and a boat. In the dreams, I go to weird places like stadiums and other planets. The past week, the dreams come in "episodes" where each is a continuation of the next. Do I need a shrink?!

This morning, very early, my fiance was having an apparently vivid nightmare about his duty in Vietnam. He was talking and twitching and tossing around. I wasn't sure how to wake him. I know that he has a history of PTSD, but he has never had a nightmare about his service since I have known him (nine months).

I got very close and kind of blocked his legs with my own and then placed my hand firmly on his arm. I expected that he would wake scared and might try to hurt me because he wouldn't remember where he was and might think that I would hurt him in that few seconds between sleep and waking fully.

He did startle badly and turned over quickly, grabbing my hand and arm hard before coming around. His heart was beating fast and he was a little sweaty, but coherent.

I left him quietly to get ready for work and when I left he was soundly asleep again, so I just gave him a kiss on the head and left without waking him.

More details below.............

Recently I've been so irritable. People in school think I'm the sweetest thing ever, but they don't know my other side. Sometimes I'm ready to explode. I have so much emotion that I just want to rip someone apart. I don't want to do anything that's irrational so can someone give me advice. Don't tell me anything about medication because that's not the answer. i will be seeing my school counselor pretty soon. I could be a complete ***** sometimes and I hate that about myself. My own actions which seem uncontrollable sometimes make me cry. I just want to explode. Maybe i have to much time on my hands. I'm not so thrilled about my environment. I don't have the good friends that I want and guys always send me mixed signals. People see me as a very sweet and understanding person, yet they don't know me at all. I don't want to take crap from anyone. So much anger.

i'm hoping some-one can shed some light on this behavior....
my husband frequently "corrects" me on how to do basic things....
for example this morning i was sweeping the floor and he takes the broom and proceeds to school me on the proper way to sweep...in the past i've recieved lessons on how to make a cup of coffee and how to fold t-shirts, among other things.....i am confident that i am not inept at performing these duties (i have worked as a house-cleaner, worked in a clothing store, and ran a cofee bar.....)....i understand that we all have our own preferred methods for performing certain tasks......but personally if i am picky about how something is done, i do it myself instead of trying to bend the other person to my will......

why does he do this?????

girl in canada, she was 19 and i got really close to her in that year...but i made the mistake of being to clingy and obsessive/ possessive with her. i felt we established a relashionship even over the net and even though im 29. but i made the mistake of sulking at her asking her all the time is she seeing any boys, then eventually she admitted to it, she gave to guys head at her house, i was deeply upset. she even told me she would come to the uk to see me...now i keep wonder what she is doing..& the realisation is, i couldnt have a girlfriend with the psychological probs ive got right now...plus i live in small flat with not alot of possessions, what girl would want me?? she was the sort of girl i want to, pale white skin, chubby& plump, pretty sexy face....now my imagination keeps torturing me wondering what shes doing...i imagine her now on a canadian afternoon in hamilton, where she lives, at say, 2:15pm, its grey drizzly there, shes taken the day off work & shes gettin porked

I am scared that if people see my symbol of my faith (pentacle) that they will laugh and call me a witch, devil worshipper etc, all the names under the sun because even though my faith means the world to me i keep thinkingstrange things like the chain will break and it will fall on the floor for everyone to see or it will just pop out of my t shirt without me noticing, insane thoughts like that.

See what i mean?

I'm trying to remember what a friend explained to me once on how Some smokers live life to the full, because they have accepted their own mortality. Can anyone explain the theory better?

I have a cd that teaches you french through conversation. I was thinking of playing it at a low volume to myself in my sleep. Does the brain still learn when your asleep as I heard that your senses shut down.

You're on a hotair balloon travelling to some adventurous place. Unfortunately, the hotair balloon is overweight. And you needa sacrifice two brave souls to save the rest of the 3people.
You are require to state why you SHOULD NOT be the one who sacrifice. May add in humour and ridiculous stuffs.

Every morning and evening its the same thing. I have tried everything I know to get her to follow the same routine that we have had her whole life. Unless I follow her around 24/7 she won't do ANYTHING. I know she is just a kid, but as a single parent I am getting too frustrated to deal properly with this. I need a creative way to help get her into a routine.

I am friendly and have a lot of friends. But, I hear all of my friends say they went out to lunch or talked to their friends for hours on the phone.

I don't have that. It seems like everyone I know is too busy. Yet they have time for their good friends or best friends.

I invite my friends places, try to help them when they need it, take an interest in their lives, tell them about my life. I don't build myself up in front of them so I don't make them jealous. I always talk about their accomplishments and will mention a few of mine so I give back when I'm with them.

I don't understand why I don't have friends calling me? I keep going on though and inviting friends to lunch, parties... and figure maybe one day it will click.

I do think people like me because I am in groups with them and they alwasy seem to want me to come and invite me to their group and seem happy to see me and talk to me. Just not be their best friend?

I must be doing something wrong?

I don't normally post this sort of stuff but I had a close call today so I thought I'd warn others.

As I was walking into B&Q, a man in an orange jumpsuit asked me if I wanted decking......





fortunately I got the first punch in so I was Ok but others might not see it for what it is!!!
