By living with his parents and brother in a cramped flat in north Kensington, with the help of a £1,500 scholarship and with fees paid for by the state, he’s got fewer debts than most second-year students. But if Jad were starting student life in the autumn of 2006 he would, he says, be far, far better off. Even though universities will be allowed to raise tuition fees to £3,000 a year, for clever kids the future looks surprisingly rosy. " u wondering why they picked hi…

    SAT is in the morning. That means I have to get up early and spend three hours filling in bubbles. At least I don't have to write an essay. Sucks to be the next group of people taking it. Wait, I am good at essays. Damn, we need one.

    I was thinking today about the way humans (generally speaking) view themselves as a seperate entity to nature. I mean we refer to things like artificial and man made but really we are a product of nature so everything we think about or create etc is a reflection of nature. What i am trying to get at is, is the universe in some way self understanding or using seemingly intelligent beings to self regulate as (theoretically speaking) we could one day alter large parts of the universe. U could also argue that global warming (which is attributed to man) is really what the earth is doing to itself as we have evolved due to the thing which we are now destroying. I know it is a…

  14. I was watching a Discovery channel thing yesterday and here's a summary of it. When she was a little girl, she saw a ghost named Mr. Gordi. Her parents called a parapsychologist William Roll over to investigate. He showed her 10 pictures of men that could've been the man Heidi, the girl, described. Heidi picked out the picture of Mr. Gordi, a man who died on the property years before the family moved in. William Roll then talks something about "place memories" where energies are stored or something I can't remember. In other words, spirits or fragments of their memories remain. Years later, Heidi and her dad continuously have claw marks on them. Heidi sees a s…

    We recently completed a lab in biology concerning diffusion. We placed half of a carrot in fresh water and half of a carrot in salt water. We observed that the carrot in the salt water lost mass, and the carrot in fresh water gained mass. One of the discussion questions is would you get the same results with a potatoe? I am not sure about the answer. My thoughts are that you wouldn't b/c of the different skins. Please help me out!
