Intense coughing fits at school!?
**********************8IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ THE WHOLE THING THEN PLEASE READ THIS SUMMARY: i am having intense coughing fits where I cant breathe and my face turns purple/redish. My throat gets a tingley feeling in the right side before/during I start my coughing fit. This has happened 3 times.********************
FULL STORY:
Today at school, I had 3 coughing fits. The first one was at lunch and I was just sitting there and it started. (I have been sick but my coughing was never this bad.) Anyways, I was coughing, and I could get any time in between to drink anything and I practically couldnt even breathe. I got up and ran to the bathroom, feeling and still felt like I was going to die because I couldnt get enough air. My eyes teared up a lot and my face was red and maybe a bit purple but then faded away after the fit stopped. Then in math, the same thing happened in the middle of talking about the one at lunch with my friend katie. It continued for what seemed like forever but was probably about 3 minutes of feeling like Im going to die. I got up and got water when the fit settled down. After that, I went to science then language arts. In language arts, I was talking to my friend keiran about my coughing fit in math and I started having one when I sat down. I was coughing and people were asking me if I was okay and I ran out of the room coughing with out being able to say anything to my teacher or anybody else. I had to stop in the hallway in front of a classroom and some kids in the hallway; they were all staring at me and asking if I was okay. (The kids in the hallway were the ones asking.) I went as fast as I could, still coughing, to the bathroom and kept freaking coughing!! This one went on for about 3 minutes or more.
These fits arent really painful but I cant breathe and its really scary. It seems like when I talk about it, then I have one but that probably has nothing to do with it. Right before a fit, I feel a kind of ticklish feeling in the right side of my throat. It doesnt really tickle, but I can feel it in my throat (not with my hand, but my throat feels it if that makes sense.) Also, when I have them, sometimes my throat makes noises like im going to throw up but I never do even though I have plenty or liquids and foods in my system.
PLEASE HELP. THESE COUGHING FITS ARE EXTREMELY SCARY. I WANT TO DO AS MUCH AS POSSIIBLE TO GET RID OF THEM. ANY ADVICE WELCOME.
Thanksss<3
I need to know about these types of energy?
I have a worksheet for homework (science class), and its asking me about types of energy and stuff. Heres what it says:
Pick the item that does not belong and explain why it does not belong.
1.thermal,sound,kinetic, light
2.biomass,wind,geothermal,potential
3.data,hypothesis,conclusion,question
*I know that problem 3 has nothing to do with energy, but i would like it if you answered it.
thanks
Would you attend this college?
I am a graduate student wondering whether there could be a college or institute established in the USA strictly for the study of mathematical sciences and with industrial internships built into the program. It seems that so much of what one learns is irrelevant, and tuition is too expensive for what you get in some cases. This is a pipe dream, but why not ask whether anyone would attend this if it actually existed?
Teaching:
(1). BSc degree in Mathematical Sciences, Mathematics & Economics, or Computer Science only. 100% hard mathematics and science coursework.
(2). No "gen ed" courses - only science courses.
(3). Courses are assessed only by an annual final examination, allowing students who genuinely know the material to receive credit.
(4). Option to obtain an MBA at the end of 4 years of study.
(5). At least 5 mandatory, real-world industrial internships during the degree program, totaling at least 2 years of part-time work experience.
Location:
(1). Lectures meet "on-site" only, M-F, 9:00AM-4:00PM (e.g. no distance learning)
Financial Aid:
(1). Students pay nothing until they find work after college. At this time, they pay 10% of annual salary for the next 10 years. This ensures that the college believes that graduates are employable.
Degree Award:
Validated, perhaps, by the University of London or Wales (don't know who yet). Thus, equivalent to RA in the States.
Need help for this friend problem?
So honestly this girl I'm talking about is really disliked by everone (exept for like her bff's) due to her insulting attitude. I was best friends with her for about a few months and then we started to highly dislike each other do to stupid reasons. For one thing, she's angry at me for sharing her "secrets" to a close friend of both of us. This girl created a Facebook account called "KMSHackerlol" and her whole purpose for doing so was to know if people were talking shit about her. Anyways, since she sits on the next table to mine in science, and I occasionally go to their table to ask questions. My presence must've really pissed her off b/c she told the teacher I was "bothering" her even though I was asking other ppl on her table, not neccessarily her. The teacher then moved me all the way to the front of the room, away from my friends, and I'm stuck with two guys that aren't at the least fun to hang around. Anyways today we had a substitute and when I went back to my old seat (the teacher didn't say if that was my permanent seat) and the girl said " You aren't suppose to sit there," and started acting all smart-ass. Now I really hate her guts and basically her in general. I don't want to keep being like this but I hate sitting away from my friends and stuff. Is there something I can do to talk to my teacher or something? I have no clue what to do so help me please.
What comes to mind when you think about Scotland?
Before the 16th century, Scotland was the poorest country in Europe. After the invention of the printing press and the Reformation, it had the highest literacy rate in Europe.
In science and technology, Scotland gave us James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, James Clark Maxwell, the discoverer of electromagnetism, Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin, and Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone. Do you have a bicycle, a refrigerator, or a television? Thank the Scots.
In philosophy, Scotland was extraordinarily productive. It had an enlightenment when England did not. Adam Smith, David Hume, and Francis Hutcheson are some of the most famous philosophers to have ever lived. Even the most famous English philosopher, J. S. Mill, and the most famous German philosopher, Immanuel Kant, were of Scottish descent.
The Highlanders were some of the most feared men in the British Army, and Scottish regiments bore the brunt of the fighting in WWI. Robert Burns is one of the most celebrated poets worldwide. Scotland's ancient universities are some of the oldest and most elite in Europe.
Even in everyday life, people around the world play golf, drink scotch, and sing Auld Lang Syne every New Years'.
What do you think of this beautiful nation?

sorry for misspelled word
Should I Consider going Into a Forensic Anthropology?
I would like to be a forensic anthropology more than anything in the world, but everyone says there are no jobs in this field. More than anything I would like to become just like Dr. Brennan from bones.
I'm only in grade 9 now, but I'm trying to plan out my courses. I have good (96) science marks, and I would even like to improve these. If anyone has any information about what courses I need to take, what University's over good programs (preferably in Canada) and were I could get a job in the field please leave answers. As well, if you have any other suggestions for me, I would like to work with the human body, but I'm not into flesh or fresh dead. (: thanks!
Science question? Smart people please help! One paragraph due tomorrow!?
Ozzie is a chemist. Ozzie lives cereal. One day he decides to prepare a bowl of his favorite fruit loops. He adds milk and then pours 15 spoonfuls of sugar. Ozzie enjoys the cereal yet when he finished there was a great deal of sugar still in the bottom of the bowl. Use the words mixture, solvent, solute, and saturated solution to scientifically describe ozzies meal. Also explain why Ozzie has sugar left in the bottom of the bowl when he was finished eating his cereal.
