Hi there:) I want to know which characters/names you think are best! It’s a love story
Paige
She has a great sence of humor and wit, a sweet and gentle girl from Pennsylvania. She is a total science nerd, meaning she is incredibly smart, and succeeding in Biology at Cornell University. She has petit features, a cute face, ski-slope nose dotted with freckles, lightly tan skin, light buttery brown hair with natural blonde hilights, and green eyes.
Now for the boy she will be with. I am stuck! Here are my options:
Benny (Ben)
He is extremely charming. Not only romantic, but kind and understanding. Funny and patient. Friendly. He is very handsome, with tan skin and thick dull-brown hair. He has a light beard that traces thinly up his jawline. A sexy smile, and a smooth, lulling voice. The bluest blue eyes you could ever dream of. He is young and ambitious. Youthful and athletic. Extremely fit, not by going out to the gym, but pure labor. He will laugh with her, carry her, and be her best friend.
Will
Is a guy who looks like he has served in forces. He has fair skin, short buzzed blonde hair and blue eyes. He has a strong jaw and a sweet smile. He is very mysterious and mature. He is kind and just, more romantic than Benny. He carries himself well.
Well that’s all I could think up! Tell me what you think!
PS, I really love Benny as a figure. To me, you don’t see him in average novels. I’d like to keep him, but what do you think of the name Benny? What about Danny? I dont know, I’m still on the fence about it. Let me know! Thanks! :]

I’m currently signed up for Stanford’s online course for Machine Learning.
(http://jan2012.ml-class.org/)
The course is open to the public with the caveat that you have a some familiarity with linear algebra, as well as a programming language. When the class officially begins (tentatively schedules for early March) you’ll have weekly assignments to complete which you will send in and get feedback on (I’m not sure if you’re graded).
What I am wondering is if anybody knows of any other university/organization out there that are offering free courses to the public. I know about free online resources such as Khan Academy and MIT Open Courseware; I’m curious if there are any other (ideally free) structured online courses out there that allow you to get feedback on the assignments you complete.
I have a feeling the answer is ‘no, nothing else exists’. Thousands of people have signed up for these free classes from Stanford, and that’s a pretty big administrative burden/time-sink to have to deal with that many assignments from students. Not sure how they’re going to manage it honestly…

I’ll start at the beginning.
In middle school I was in a high school credit/honors STEM program, I didn’t much care about my grades, and I struggled with yet undiagnosed metal disorders, so though I was capable of doing the work, my grades were low for the most part.
Despite this, I was accepted into the IB program at a local high school. I tried to kill myself the first week of school. I missed a ton of days, was socially withdrawn and isolated and ending up withdrawing before the first nine weeks was over, receiving “incomplete” for all my grades. After this, it was decided that I would enroll in a less stressing program at a different high school. However, I got a computer and the plan changed to doing online classes with FLVS. I was horrid at it. It was terribly hard for me to keep focus on the computer, and some of the assignments were absolutely ridiculous. So I stopped doing anything productive at all in my life. I gained twenty pounds and spent most of my time sleeping, eating, or just wasting my time on the internet. I disgusted myself, I hated the feeling that I wasn’t normal.
I had these feelings despite being on antidepressants. I missed a psychiatrist appointment, and was without my pills for the net three months. The feelings of not being normal continued to grow. I insisted on enrolling in Plant again. I insisted that I could do it this time, be normal, get good grades, socialize. But I couldn’t. I was extremely shy, and socially awkward. I sat by myself at lunch for 4 and a half weeks. I was scrapping by on C, D and F grades, talking to only a handful of people. Sometimes almost having panic attacks at lunch. So again I withdrew.
Fast-forward to now. Homeschooling on workbooks and books from the library. My mom doesn’t really like it. She doesn’t understand.
I have a couple of options, and this is where you guys come in. I need your help and advice.
I can continue homeschooling, eventually make my own diploma and transcript, and hope to be accepted to either University of Tampa, or USF.
OR.
I can get my GED, get an associates degree at HCC, and then transfer to either of those schools.
I don’t know what to do.
I like the GED plan, I was very positive about it, but my Yale educated (albeit bi-polar, and sometimes a drunk, who with his education, has become a waiter) says that an associate degree (in aquaculture) from HCC would be the equivalent to marine biology 101 at any real college. He says I wont know anything, and wont be prepared come time when I enroll In a higher university.
What should I do?
I don’t know anyone to ask.
Thank you for you help.

I have applied to a number of American universities (two of which are of the Ivy League variety). Notification of decisions go out from the start of February and through the start of March. I’m coming to the end of my third week of waiting for a reply. Is having to wait this long a good sign or is it neither here nor there? Also bear in mind I got a decision letter from Princeton a little under a week into February. (I applied to Princeton, Boston Uni and Yale.)

I guess you need to know a little background information first.
I am a 19 year old university student in his second year of study.
I was raised in a household where I was taught to be nice to women, treat them with respect, and to never be mean to them.
I have never been in a relationship, yet have been on a few dates.
Now to my question…
Why is it that I can’t find someone who can love me for who I am?
Being in university, I have found that the girls I am interested in are either dating a$$holes or are not interested in me altogether.
Girls always say they want to date nice guys or find their “prince charming”, but yet they still end up dating guys who hurt them or treat them poorly.
Why this happens, I have no idea.
It truly does bolster the saying that “nice guys finish last”.
Sometimes I cry at night thinking how alone I am.
I have never found a girl who was interested in me enough to go out on more than a few dates and possibly get into a relationship with me.
Now don’t get me wrong, I am not shy at all when it comes to talking to girls.
I am very comfortable with striking up a conversation with a girl.
I just haven’t found anyone who can love me as a person.
Any suggestions?
I just don’t know what to do about relationships anymore.
Any help is much appreciated.

I’m making a project about education in Canada and I need your help. Please answer these questions:
1.Do you study French at school as an abroad language? 2. Would you like to study abroad after finishing school? 3. Which university, in your opinion, is the best (I mean, in Canada)? 4. Do you have one sex schools in your city? If yes, how much (approximatley)? 5. What do you think about education at YOUR school? And finally, a question I was trying to answer for months: Do you REALLY like those ketchup taste chips you make? I’ve seen such only in Canada, and I still wonder, how that’s even possible to eat them…

I’ve met a lady in university class. She’s gorgeous, bright, thoughtful, and matches my wit… everything I could desire. She’s also single.
In just four weeks of knowing her, I’ve met her and hung out with her maybe even more than I do so with my best buddies, mostly at her suggestion.
We bust each others balls all the time. We’re comfortable with each other physically: touching, hugging, wrestling, tickling (mostly her being the one to initiate). Additionally, when we talk sitting together closely, she often looks from my eyes to my lips and back, especially when she came by my place (again, at her suggestion). Normally, that’s pretty much a dead give-away, and I’d go for the kiss.
A few things are holding me back: she constantly says that we should hang out to become friends, or become better friends, the emphasis being on the word “friends”. Also, she says that she’s the “no sex before marriage” type. I don’t have a problem waiting… except that I have decided never to marry on principle. She knows this, so why the hell does she keep giving me signs that she’s attracted?
I’ve given her several hints that she’s confusing me about what she wants but she doesn’t get them, or is pretending not to.
Despite being quite good at telling whether a woman likes me, her innocent nature puts a veil on her intentions and I’m utterly baffled. She could be the type to want to really know who a person is before she dates me, but for me, it’s become more of a frustration.
So, now that I’ve bored you to tears, does anybody have any serious suggestions about how to coax her intentions out of her? I could ask her directly eventually, but it’s preferable not to.

Im thinking about university accommodation.. can other people stay if you have your own on-suit? Otherwise id hardly see my boyfriend as he doesn’t want to go uni.. Im thinking of going kent.
