what I did is take one class at a time. Amounted to about $4200 a year at a private school. Federal stafford loans more than cover it.

I wouldn't say its like failing, because you don't have to re-take the class unless its a B- or below... its more like getting a D in high school. Passing, but barely.

it can be fairly easy, depending on what and where you'd want to teach. you can teach college after you have your master's. Once you're well into a PhD program, you can get a job at a university. a straight A average is pretty much expected in grad school. Bs don't cut it anymore. But, its not hard to get the A. You don't have to go above and beyond, just do what the prof asks for.

why'd the gator cross the road?

if you really want to help with womens' rights, consider a law degree, like Lawrocket suggested. call the career office where you went to college. find out if they can set you up with a civil rights lawyer that you can talk to and find out more about the job, kinda a mentor.

"If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us. In every country, we should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness." -Sagan

volunteer in the field you think you want to go into, if you haven't already. It'll give you a good idea. For people considering becoming teachers, I advise them to volunteer as an aide, or work as a substitute for a while to get a taste of the classroom... I see so many people go through the whole teacher-ed program and then spend two days in the classroom and think "damn...I just wasted four years in grad school." and quit. If you're thinking about law school, work as a clerk or legal secretary for a while, if that's an option open to you. If you're thinking about social work, call the county and ask about volunteering to get a feel for it.

nope, just here, and I do see other sites regularly.

I saw a girl with a fantasy style dragon wrapped around a sword... very cool...

ROFLMAO!!!!!!! So very true!

I was pretty sure my malfunction wasn't fixable... but since it was stable and flying, I gave it a go anyway and surprised myself. Had it not been stable or flying, bye-bye main.

thought this was interesting... With the advent of probability theory especially vis a vis Werner Heisenberg and the mathematics and logic that followed, it became apparent that proof is not possible. The reason being, and I"m stating this as simply as possible, we cannot know if and when something else will come along to disprove that which we thought we knew... The Uncertainty Principle of quantam mechanics is such that we cannot ever know with absolute certainty that a relationship exists which we think exists, at least not in any absolute form... Karl Popper demonstrated that although we cannot absolutely prove anything, we CAN absolutely disprove relationships in the world... Science then realized that if we are at least capable of disproving, we can disprove the opposite of that which we think is true, and although we cannot conclude that anything is absolutely true or relational, if we can at least disprove the opposite, we can conclude that a relationship is highly *credible*... This is science today my friend. My undergraduates have a hell of time believing this when I first tell them...they're like "You mean you don't directly PROVE in science?" Nope, sorry...can't do that...can only disprove. -Tracy Keating

You can't prove. You can draw a conclusion based on the data that the current hypothesis is not disprovable at this time. that's about it.

science CAN'T be the pursuit of truth. Science cannot prove. it can only disprove.

ROFLMAO!!!

la-laa-la-la-la-laaaa-la-la-laa-la-laaa My bro took one look at my tandem pics, and his first words were "what's with the smurf suit?" body of the suit was blue with white grippers. LOL

According to Hostess, it takes forty-five seconds to explode a Twinkie in a microwave.

perris? that looks like one of their smurf suits.

I play djembe (an african drum) but I sing a heck of a lot better than I play, and I can't do both at once. LOL.

I prefer ding-dongs. Twinkies are kinda limp and nasty.

because I looked at the knot and thought "there's no f-ing way this is gonna come out." It surprised me.

but that does make it less than random... if it were completely random, then *poof* the entire sample could be gone in an instant, or it could stay forever, and that isn't what happens...

"da plane! da plane!"

even if you believe that the initial writers were divinely inspired, obviously all the translators were not, since there are so many different translations.

what about the decay constant? or am I mixing up my science? (a distinct possibility)
