I have not seen this movie and probably never will but I do have some questions. I know the basic storyline, since someone told me the ending already, and I watched scary movie 3. I also watched a few clips of the Ring from youtube. Anyways, I just wanted to know how did Samara knew how to use the phone, assuming she's probably from 1800s (the way her mother was dressed), and where did she calling her victims from? Was it the Cabin? And was there a connection between the Naomi Watts' character calling Nick, when he was about to be killed, and Samara' calling, when people view the cursed video right after? Because Samara came straight out of the TV instead of calling Nick, but it was Naomi calling him right after he watched the tape. Here's the cursed tape: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBgB2FzeY8w

The 3rd season was disappointing imo. But I hope Lina is the main character on the 4th one.

Lol. Anyone know where does this phrase come from? Which hurts more, delivering a baby or getting kicked in the groin?

X'D Let me borrow one of those sexy customs that you wore. I oughta show some more skin!

I don't know anything about cars but wish you luck that everything goes well, at least you weren't seriously hurt in that accident.

I really don't want to fail. I just want everything to go smoothly since I'm way behind for normal people at my age. For example, my 1st English teacher was just one year older than me. My second English teacher was 2 year older than me. And I know that if I take, or speed up, more classes than now, I'll probably can't handle it, especially I have to take 2 or 4 science classes in the near future. What a nightmare.. The tutoring is free here but hardly there when I need them. My brother is really good at math so I would feel at least safe taking Trigonometry, however, if I take math for liberal arts, I'll be on my own. I tried to get to see tutors for my lit class once or twice and they weren't there, so I'm not too keen on relying on them. Maybe I should make a poll and ask which class I should go for, literature or trigonometry rotfl. Maybe I should have stuck around with Brit-lit class..it wasn't that bad with daily reading and writing assignments. It was that damn essay that freaked me out. Teacher there was really considerate when I told him I wanted to drop that class and talked with me about what would be best for me if I wanted to try literature class again. Oh well, what's done is done. If I want to fail at something, maybe I'll try literature first, but not with same teacher because he told me that he usually give similar essay questions on all of his other literature classes.

I already took them and I thought it was freaking hard. :s "I had good teachers in college algebra and 2 of my English classes (the Lit class will be my 3rd English class, le sigh). Not that English is any better than Maths." I had to write essay for ITSC in class today. I couldn't finish 1 page, single spaced, because I barely knew anything about Microsoft 2007. I only made it to little more than half page and I'm really thinking, "Wow, I really hate writing essays". \ It could be changed to Biology and Geology for the Summer, and then take Trigonometry this Fall. If I fail Trigonometry then I don't know what I'll do. I don't know what to do

Hehe yea. I don't know because I haven't decided my major yet. Hmm..I don't think either would help me in the future. I just need to finish this requirements and then transfer to 4 year college. I could worry about more maths later, after picking my major (I'll probably face more maths than English, even though I'll try my best to avoid both), because I don't want to stress out on math too much right now. I mean, I already forgot how to do algebra now that I look back at study books that I bought to study, which I never bothered to look more than first page. When I skimmed through it though, the study guide was more crazy than the college algebra textbook. It could also depends on teachers. I had good teachers in college algebra and 2 of my English classes (the Lit class will be my 3rd English class, le sigh). Not that English is any better than Maths. My brother said calculus had no word problems, unlike precalc, and had easier time with calculus. Besides, I need precalc to get to calculus class. But I know that what may be easy for you and my brother, may be extremely difficult for me. Lol. Woah, even a calculus teacher has said that it will be difficult to his/her calc students, so it must be really difficult. Physic is definitely a no no. It probably inovlves a lot of mathmatic problems. I also think chemistry is a mistake for me if I decide to take the path to take 4 science classes. Arg. My classmate in Japanese class let me show me his requirements for business major. It had no trigonometry. It had college algebra and precalc and then so on with more advanced classes. He did gave me a link where I could check out the requirements for majors, but I haven't looked at it yet. Well, I'm not very confident in English, besides the fact that it is my 2nd language. If teachers didn't care about the grammar, at least I could relax a bit. I wrote 9 pages of essay, in less than 2 hours with ease (granted it was an open note/book test), for the finals in my History class last fall semester because he didn't care about the grammar and let us have write freely, as long as it was related to the question, of course. But with English, my thought freezes and I have no idea what to write because of pressures from page limits, grammar, and due dates. There really isn't any way to prepare like you do with math. With math, at least you can beat it to death with practices and homework, and expect to get a decent grade out of it. With English, without thesis and well thought-out examples and evidences, you are screwed. When Brit-lit teacher said at the beginning of the semester, "If you have 2 major grammar errors like sentence fragment, no matter how good your essay is, you will get an F", I freaked out and dropped the class as soon as he gave us an instruction to 1st Essay. But I do want to try world literature class (He explained to me that Brit-lit was the hardest of them all literature class this college had to offer when I had a chance to talk to him) because I really don't want more science classes. Lol. I thought the D was passing grade too until someone pointed me out several weeks ago when I asked him about it. ---------------------------- Thank you guys. I'm so glad I asked this question because my school described math for liberal arts as pretty basic and I was planning to register this week, although I was planning to look through its book before I do anything stupid. I'll think it over this weekend and register for summer classes next week or so. If you have more suggestions, feel free to post them up. I'll consider what you all have said. Right now I'm thinking something like this- I take Literature and Biology classes this summer. And if I *gasp* happen to fail the Literature class, I could take Trigonometry in the Fall.

Is it like a starcraft? Well, I sucked at anything craft in it, so I'll probably suck at it too. Lol!! Damn. Reading math texts because you were bored? I wish I was interested in math like you and really good at maths. When I took college algebra, I got a C on first test. Then I practiced over to death and pulled an A on the final grade. I thought I had done with and never had to face it ever again..;_; I just don't like graphing, since my calculator is little messed up too and I don't know how to reset back to normal or whatever--I messed it up a bit by playing games instead of paying attention in math class during HS. I went up to precalc in HS but I just couldn't take it anymore. That was something my brain couldn't handle at all. It was a whole new level for me urg. If trigonometry is similar to college algebra (I'm sure it's very different, since you went all the trouble to explaining it to me hehe, but at least work ethics will be the same?), then I guess it's worth a try. I had googled it before and maths for liberal arts looked very..well..look at it yourself. X'D http://www.math.fau.edu/hoffman/mgf1106/MLA1fappSam1.htm 3. The Swampy Sandwich Shoppe gives you a choice of rye bread, whole wheat or pita bread for your sandwich. You get a choice of butter or mayonnaise, and a choice of roast beef, ham, salami, bologna or pastrami. How many different sandwiches does Swampy sell? LOL. I mean, WTF. The thing about it is that prerequisite for both maths for liberal arts and Trigonometry are basic maths classes. But maths for liberal arts is listed between statistics and calculus so you could be right. I hate word problems and it sounds difficult without formula to dictate how you should solve and not just randomly. I just don't know, maybe I'll better off at literature class, but I don't mind the formula, as long as I don't have to think too much that won't confuse me. It should be much better than creating thesis for literature class that I don't give a damn about--if analyzing about stories, heck yea, if analyzing about texts or styles of literature? forget it. I had to drop British Anglo-Saxon class last fall semester because I just couldn't write 4-5 pages comparing two different Beowulf translation passages dealing with syntax, tone, and diction crap. For science classes, I'll probably take biology and geology (how hard memorizing rocks could be ). I don't think they offer astronomy here. I have to take 2 more science classes if I decided to take maths class. Gah. I can't drop out anymore because they set a new rule that you can only drop out 6 classes and I didn't even realized it when I dropped my literature class. I have to go down with the ship if I mess it up. I just need to figure out what to take for summer class. If I'm taking any kind of maths, then maybe I should avoid 6 weeks classes.

Has anyone taken one of those classes? I have no idea what Math for Liberal Arts is. Please help. Either that or I could take a literature class but I suck at writing essay^_^; But if I take another math class, which I suck at too, I have to take 2 more science classes, which I probably suck at that too.

I don't even wanna know how or why LOL

HB you hairy beast you:happy:

She didn't even move around the whole time? Damn. The toilet must have flooded or something, otherwise, there was no reason for her to ever get up..

I think it all comes down to a person's motivation, apart from personal issues and circumstances. If Pedro only wanted HS diploma, then I don't think he would care, or should complain, whether he mows the lawn or flips a burger for living. For those who want to better themselves by seeking higher education, they probably won't accept such a free pass. Their local community college should offer at least ten different level of ESL classes, so they, foreign exchange students and people like Pedro, really don't have a good excuse to say they never had an opportunity to learn English and failed to survive college because their English wasn't sufficient enough. But, of course, it'll take them twice the work than average native English speakers would, in college or society. ------------- hey gg. *waves back*

That does not sound very plausible scenario. You can't learn language in a few months, even if Spanish word order is a lot closer to English than let's say Finnish. What chance does Pedro have if he couldn't manage to do it in a year--assuming he started his American education in his senior year of HS? If he only needed summer school to "master" it, then you would have seen his gradual improvements during his regular English class. And why was he in regular English class, instead of ESL class, if he couldn't speak English? Taking English out of core curriculum? That's fantastic. Neither HS English classes teach you grammar nor prepare you for college English classes, at least from my experience. It is a waste of time, unless you were planning to become a "newspaper editor".

where is your dignity. get even:nono:

i'm no expert and dont quote me on this but i heard that when person is mixed too much, they are prompt to go nuts more than average joe. lots of white ppl claim that they are mixed with native americans at one point or the other. but i think mental disorders are more of social and cultural pressure thing. where in east asia, it's sign of a weakness so no one really talks about that kind of stuff.

interesting insights everyone. it got me thinking from statements like "we are all same", "it's only skin deep" etc. i dont know i mean, how can anyone tell? we are stuck with what we are born with. we will never experience what other races are going through. i think most nonwhites living in western countries are most self-conscious about their racial images than whites. extreme case would be michael jackson. seems like everyone wants that sharp white facial features with big blue eyes. LOL that cracked me up.

i mean like, when you wake up, what's the first thing comes to your mind when you see a mirror? what is your advantageous and disadvantageous -physically or mentally whatever- things you face daily because you are a white person? have you ever wished you were born as a different race/ethnic? if so, why?

aww that poor dog!

haha!! what a cute tail she got. hope all of them are alright

bttf^_^; 88mph in small parking lot crazy lol
