Natural Hair Question?
Hi. I've been wondering about my hair texture, which appear to be a 4c on the hair chart. All my life I've known to have weaves, relaxers, braid extensions,and just everything in between except for dyes basically ever since i was 3 and i am 17 now and i just started being natural 8 months ago and it is 3-4 inches now and start out less than 1 inch. I am just wondering ff this is my true hair texture or should i wait a couple of years to judge since I've been damaging my hair for years with relaxers and let it grow out? I don't know my family's history on texture.
What kind of Identification do I need to get Cosmetic Surgery?
I am turning 18 soon and I'm wondering what I'll need to bring with me to get a rhinoplasty done (nose job)? Will I need to bring my health card? I am aware that it is not covered by insurance and I will be paying from my own pocket but will they ask me for my medical history? Will they need me to contact my family doctor before they book an operation? If someone could explain the process of transaction that would be great, thanks.
Is the tuttin' plunger the most important invention in human history?
if there is a family history of diabetes in the family should you live like you already have it?
I don't have diabetes but my dad does and 3 of his sister do too. My mom says her grandmother had it. Ik a family history means a greater risk(i don't know how much greater) anyway should I diet like I already have diabetes? Or just do whT they say to prevent it?
How do you identify other success-minded students in your class?
I have a 4.0 from Spring and would like to continue that into Summer and Fall. I find it to be an easier experience if you can associate with "top" classmates and consult with them while studying.
However, my observational skills are quite poor in the flesh. For a composition class I had, I noticed this one girl who spoke up often in class so I decided to email her early in the semester and asked if she'd like to work on a paper providing criticisms, etc. She replied and seemed happy to oblige and provided contact info, but turns out I never saw her again, so I presumed she withdrew the course :|
This summer is going to be difficult - a calculus and history course. The calculus class is 3 hours long 4 days a week - so I plan to be in the library 6-8 hours a day to work on homework, which probably will be miserable considering there will be no one there with me. This is why I want to form a select, invitational group early - 1 or 2 people DEADLY serious about school so we can work together.
I'm able to see (by an ingenious method) who's currently enrolled before class starts and I'm already spying on people's FB and twitter accounts to see exactly what they're like. When class starts I'm going to be looking in the front row first. Then people who volunteer speaking up. Other than that I don't know what to look for. Is there *anything* people wear signifying membership in honors clubs? Larger than normal backpack? People who are engaged in reading before class starts instead of looking around or playing on their phone? What else should I be looking for?
@NYC kid:
I understand what you're saying, and no - this far, far from being a joke. My only "interest" at this point in life is getting the best possible grade possible - and I'm looking for the (rare) other who shares this common interest/goal. Once established, I'm hoping they're willing and able to work with ANYONE - as am I.
Is anyone fluent in German? I have to prove a point to some big-headed know-it-all at school.?
Okay, first off before you think I'm just talking, not knowing, I attended an Immersian school for (German) for four years, I wasnt allowed to attened the high school since it was too far away from my house, anyway the other day, me and my friend had been speaking about how poorly they get into the intense detail of the language in the programs in my new school. The pronunciation is horrid, and I was best friends with an exchange student from Germany- he went back home, so I cant ask him now- who even said others who think they know the language, dont have a clue, unless they have actually studied, and experianced it. So anyway, I was in class and my friend had went to the restroom and back. While she was entering she said, "Tag!" I looked confused. Thats when she told me I should know what it means. I said it meant Day in German. We started a small arguement. She was telling me how bad Teachers are at the High School, this girl just jumps in and says- "Yeah, she's right, >>Tag>> means Hello. I corrected her and said, "Well you can say, Guten Tag, or Hallo, but Tag just wont cut it." She started an arguement, restating her same words about five times in a row, then I finally just couldnt take it, so I screamed at her- "I know what I'm talking about Kaitlynn, I'm not an idiot, I attended Milwaukee German Immersion School, for four years, I visited Frau W, who lives by me all the time, after I left, my uncle speaks a little German, heck he was stationed in the army in Germany, my Step Grandmother was from Germany, an actual German that helped me do my homework when it got hard, you cant tell me something a High Schooler told you whos been in the class for- guess- 1! Freaking! Year! I know more German than the teacher who teaches it, I can at least carry on small conversation, she cant!
Anyway yeah, I wanted to punch her because the entire time she had an attitude, she though she knew more than me because I was black, and she had German in her, she didnt think twice that my family had German in them. My aunt is white as a ghost with green eyes, those traits arent from Africa, I can tell you that. All I want is a response, I dont care what language you put it in because of coarse I can read it,unlike that big-headed know-it-all. Just solve this for me please,and I dont need a history lesson, or what you think because you have German in you, I dont want to hear what youve heard. No offense but, your guessing wont, help, I want people from Germany or who are fluent to tell me, even in different regions of Germany, is Tag, a formal greeting, can you start a conversation with Tag. Thats all, thank you, Ive calmed myself a bit..
Okay let me say this a bit better, Does Tag mean Hallo, or Hello. She's telling me it means hello, in Engllish me can say whats up, but that doesnt mean Hello necessarily.
Question about Japanese radio stations and presenting music on the radio?
What if I'm arriving in Japan with a suitcase full of CDs with eastern European pop and rock music (Polish, Hungarian, Romanian, Russian) and I would like to present this music in Japanese radio for Japanese people? I would like to appear in some Japanese radiostation and make a programme about the history of eastern European rock music. Would it be possible? Would anyone be interested?
What are some differences between the Mayan civilization and the Greek civilization ?
I need this for a History assignment. Please don't make the answer to long, or too short (If you get my point). :D
So for all the anti- Laker people, do you think the nuggets can finish the Lakers off tonight?
If they stay calm and play well with little mistakes, can they pull off one of the biggest upsets in nba history and defeat the lakers on their home court? I certainly hope so, but I know it probably won't happen. What do you think?
Why are my friends so dull?
I'm 16 years old in high school. In my group of friends all we ever do is talk about sport or tv shows etc, and whilst I like to do that sometimes, other times I try and talk about geopolitics or philosophy, or history and they all look at me like I'm an alien or just act disinterested. Although I like to talk about stuff that's thought of as "geeky" I've managed to avoid being classed as a geek. But I find all of the simple stuff we talk about exceedingly boring and mind numbing. Is it me that's being weird? Why do they only want to talk about stupid stuff?
