Exactly. I find some subjects are easy for me. Instead of taking an AP class with 9 months of homework, labs, and tests, I could instead maybe study topics of my choosing, or topics most likely to appear on the test/have the most problems of instead of doing nothing (lag time between summer ends and real school begins, and after winter break too). I don't see the point of doing a lot of work if you can cover and learn the same information in less amount of time. I'd just take AP classes(our school has an 8 class limit and so many AP) if I'm not really good at those subjects, saves time and I get to learn a lot of materials yay.

I think it's almost for any non-profit organization you can get community service hours for. If you're paid it doesn't count as community service though. Just wondering but what requires 60 hours of CS, middle school to high school?

I was just wondering if, where you live, you can take the AP test without taking the AP class. I'm not sure about where I live, some people say yes, others say no, others think it's a waste if you just apply for the test and not the class. So, test without the class, yes/no?

Yeah so that's why I'm trying to teach myself. If I don't do good, I can drop it without any...negative results in a way. Anyways, no links?

Explain.

Lol, my bad for being too board. I'm definitely not going to try to teach myself a foreign language, too hard for me. As for academics, I'm thinking about physics, chem, bio, some math (maybe trig and calc, may not do at all), euro history, us hist, and that's all I can think of right now.

Basically I'm trying to teach myself some kind of academic subjects. The reason why honors is a bit...well weird. I had honors and my teacher gave me these review sheets, they were easy. Then final came in a few days and I was drawing a blank on like 10% of the problems. They weren't even covered in the review sheet OR the book. Although the book doesn't surprise me, rarely goes over anything. Sooo...no credit, hard work, and/or do that whlist taking honors. I think that's correct. So, know any companies that offer good textbooks to teach yourself with? Hopefully can get at library.

Hi, just making this topic because my school is... weird. Regular programs at my school are easy and slow(takes 2 days to cover a topic, seems good but then there's projects and stuff too). Honors programs have no depth review, basically glide along the basics of everything. Basically I'm thinking about trying to teach myself certain subjects, hopefully easy ones, or ones that are not boring, or have versions that arn't. I'm thinking about, learning subjects all by myself, or refer to self-teaching books as I take the course. What do you think is better? Also, does anyone know good brands or certain books that are good for self-teaching. I've found a very small amount of books, and yes I used search engines. Any ideas would be great(unless they're very negative ones).

Bleh I'm a procrastinator too. sorta... The first thing above all is an environment that suits you where you can work is. That is very, very, important. It's pretty hard to work when someone in the room next to you is arguing with someone else *cough parents and brother cough*. Next is yourself, can't give good tips about that... Remember, you play a really big part in procrastination, but fighting it when you're in a bad environment is a bad idea. Try to go to the library to work, helps me.

A rubik's cube is basically a hard logic problem. If you are self-taught, I congradulate you. There are books out there that teach you how to solve a rubik's cube. It's basically, if this should happen then... do this. I think the world record is 12 seconds :P Here's a few under 12 seconds: 7.9 Seconds 5.71 Seconds Amazing..... These are set up, obviously. The people already know what steps they should make, then they make them. In the world record someone else who is neutral messes up the cube. If you watch closely, sometimes, the creator does the reverse of what he did to mess up the cube.

Someone already mentioned that joke in this thread and they were insulted because it is only funny the first time. Also zombies are attracted to living flesh not brains so dressing up as paris hilton would have no advantage. Read it myself. A good book and I agree with 99% of his recommendations. Where's book, givme like anyone?

During the early stages quite a few people would be bitten trying to help or 'restrain' zombies. These infected people would then become reanimated spreading the disease around even more unsuspecting people. Also when people get scared they would mass around Hospitals and police stations. Both places would likely have large concentrations of infected people already present. Ahh, good point. Helping people leads to infecting them.

They might be slow but they have endless endurance, no fear, and only direct trauma to the brain kills them. They are also 100% dedicated to seek out and attack living flesh. They have excellent hearing, smell and sight. Also only the slightest of wounds from one would almost certainly cause infection and the victim would wake as the living dead. Like already mentioned they also often occur in very large numbers. Yeah, but first they'd have to infect a lot of slow+stupid humans first. Or just trap em/catch them off guard. On a more realistic note. I'd probably die. Hopefully I don't encounter zombies that can jump from rooftop to rooftop(I'd be killed within minutes). Best thing I can do is try to use my shotgun to create holes zombies can't get through at entrances. I'm of course, suspecting there are huge amount of zombies wandering around getting ready to pwn me. If there are, I won't be able to make it anywhere without running out of ammo/attracting so much attention that they mass me. And if I get into a car, mass of zombies will probably slow car down enough so they can get in.

Why?

Lol, how do you know you'll have a mansion and a couple of resturants, unless your parents own them. I thought you need 12 years total to get an P.H.D. or am I getting it confused with something else? 1st: As for me, I'll be 26-27ish, still in some kind of college for a specialist degree, possibly medical field. Basically I'll try to look for a high paying job I at least somewhat enjoy and hopefully retire asap. And I'll still be alone (most likely). 2nd: Alternatively, I study so hard, I lose most of my friends and rarely notice them (paranoid about people with same goals might sabatoge me \ , I'm crazy like that), but I have this super high IQ, test scores, etc, then I make it to some workplace like google. Literally sleeping where I work and eating all my meals there etc. But I bet it's the first possibility.

Oh comon, that was an obvious answer. Either the person was really...well not smart, or she was thinking way to hard, maybe thinking the "moon" was some sort of furniture or something.

Ehhhh..... there's a whole globe full of water. That's drinkable and won't have acute side-effects? Recycled water is drinkable and does not have acute side affects. It's been done in Singapore with no apparant ill affects whatsoever and the science behind it is sound. I was talking about how the writer remarked there's a whole globe full of water (including sea).

Can't argue with that. I believe the standard of parenting these days is on the decline. Both parents working more often, more time in front of the idot box and overall less time spent with kids can all contribute to a lack of guidance and heightened rates of delinquancy. I know kind of ironic in a way. Parents are complaining about how T.V. is very violent, causing all these outlashes, and video games too. What they fail to see is what's in front of them. They rarely think, hmmm, maybe I shouldn't have stuck them in front of the T.V. every time I was doing something else? blah blah blah Pray tell, what idiot child would not adapt to this simple form of punishment? It's very easy to hide small entertainment electronics. Once a child figures out how you operate, they can break you down. Disciplining a child is about their ability to, for a lack of a better word, adapt, willingness to pay attention to you, and mental schemes. If you lecture them, they tune you out. If you try and take away their stuff, they hide it. If you ground them, they'll most likely have a plan. If you're soft, they twist you around and see what they can get out of it. Well that's a certain case... Anyways, I think a jolt of physical pain makes them aware and pay more attention to your lecture if they didn't listen the first few times.

Uber-rare true, but uber-pwnage. AB- is universal receiver, unless they're something wrong with my biology education it's the blood type that can accept ANY OTHER TYPE OF BLOOD. Just some info, still, donate the blood, you never know how useful it may be.

False. An albatross can sleep while it flies. You mean like half asleep? or totally. A crane can sleep with one eye open and have awareness of surroundings. I just got it off this a couple of days ago. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/367990/animal_facts/ TBH I don't know if the facts really are facts though. :anxious: After watching it, I had a question about one of the facts too. I thought less than 1% of animals ever to inhabit earth are still alive today. I might be wrong though...

300 years is definatly enough for me :P Ooo Armadillo : I don't know much about them but they look cool, do they sell them at pet stores...? :-s lol Lol turtles live for 200 max I think, forgot which species. Seems like u chose a lot of low-maintainance pets, woot.

I thought your organs were useless when you're dead. Hmmm heard that from my friend, anyone confirm/deny with source? Haven't you ever heard of a heart/kidney/lung transplant? Read:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_transplant To be honest, no I havn't, except in those comedy movies but I don't trust them. Yeah, my bad. I think my friend was trying to say if person is brain+heart dead without life support or anything for some period of time.

Yup, people who do fall for them either take them very seriously, or want to encourage behavior.
