– Pro.
When I tell you, you will need to remember. It makes things easier for us that way. Now, it’s me and she and I and her and him and he and they and us. That’s it. That’s the story. At its simplest and most distilled state; packed and compressed. I’ve waved my hand in the clouded room; pushed away the smoke and steam, and have given you the one clear glimpse that you need. There it is, can’t you see it? The conclusion and the coup de grace, the finale and the resolution; sitting and waiting just right here for you. It’s me and she and I and her and him and he and they and us. So now that we’ve begun with the ending, let’s end with the beginning.
Feel it and let the hairs prickle up against the skin.
– 1
Feel it and let the hairs prickle up against the skin. It’s that cold: that chill that comes with a late autumn. With the sweeping and uneven winds that rattle at the trees and grab hold of the branches and leaves. It’s that molded smell, that composted earth and soiled air; the one that crackles and fizzles, sinks, and weighs down the tongue. Taste it. The untouched ground of a thousand years, the unchanging and melancholy of fields and valleys in rural New York; intruded on, defecated by, Hidden Hills. By the white walled, white speckled, white cuttings of its buildings, grounds, and people. This is the hospital. This is the prison. This is the Hell, that houses patient #91912844.
And the gilded light of an early morning contrasted the stark bite of the air. The resonance of snapping leaves; the wisps and curtails of cigarette smoke; the mild, almost hushed, chattering of teeth all did well to fit this morning niche. Her name was Dianus Romme. Her pace was slow and simple: dedicated but not purposeful.
These were her rounds; her routine. These were her grounds; her path. And her fingers trembled as she brought the cigarette to her mouth. With forced deliberation, she inhaled and masked her face with sheets of smoke. Beyond her, through a mesh of crossed wire, was the open and waving grass; the unrestricted and uncontained world. Delicately, she laced her fingers over the links; and pressed her palms to the fence. Her head rested against the post and she felt the soothing touch of metal. Her sighs fogged the air and, in a moment of weakness, closed her eyes and remembered.

Hi,
I am writing an essay and English is not my native language. Please, check my text for mistakes, thanks:
“The State also promoted the reduction of the levels of negotiation by activity branch, favoring the companies where the union power was less. Other norms promoted by the State were: a strike hyper-regulatory mechanism that leaded to declare them illegal most of the times, the instability of the collective agreements as to the time of the agreed benefits and the integral revision of the existing ones, and the possibility of receiving just one compensation before an arbitrary dismissal, becoming difficult to reach the reinsertion to the job, among other measures.
What effects did these changes have in the labor organizations? According to the report of Smith, in terms of its relation with the environment, the DGTB was unable to avoid the disaffiliation and reach that new sectors affiliate to company labor unions.”

I currently attend a state university in U.S.. My major is Biology/Life science, and I plan to take some advance science courses and maybe a couple basic course. First, Korea University is actually affiliated with my home school, so it will be easier for me to go through the process, transfer credits, and it will also be cheaper. But I also hear good experiences from Yeonsei. The thing that worries me most is the difficulty level of these schools since they are one of the top schools in Korea. I’m looking forward to the cultural experiences, so I don’t want to be stuck at school studying hardcore 24/7 but I can’t let my gpa go any lower because I plan to enter med school after I graduate. I’m also fluent in Korean but I want to take all my courses taught in English since I’m more used to hearing all those scientific words in English 🙂

I live in Philadelphia. I’m trying to find a major in web development, not so much the design part (wouldn’t mind it, though) but the coding (php, jquery, and all of those fancy stuff including basics like html and css, etc.)
The only college/university I could find was Drexel, but Drexel is a private university and it’s EXPENSIVE. I need to attend a state affiliated college but I can’t find one with the major I want. I talked to my counselor and he seem a little clueless about web development.

I met a young woman 10 years ago when we first started college. I failed to have the confidence to approach her and upon the day in which I did, she dropped the course. Eventually, I found her on MySpace. She rejected me saying that she was “having problems with the male race”. I probably terrified her.
As a relatively private introvert, I did not take it well and made some drastic changes the following years. I ended up finishing school in another state hoping to greet social change. It was indifferent. After school, I worked for a petrochemical company in Japan for 2 years before finding my niche in derivatives and forex. I returned to the states a year ago and my social life still does not existent.
I have tried dating. Coworkers and long time acquaintances have introduced me to friends and family and they have never worked.
I do not know why I admire her so much. Perhaps she is just so smart and conscientious that I cannot let go. Or perhaps, what the shrink says is true and my inability to let go and fail has become a detriment to my mind.
I have a wedding to attend in winter. I’ll be lending my GT2 to my older brother. He tells me if I really cannot give up, try one last time since time has passed. Perhaps a coincidental car accident preferably when she is not in her vehicle leaving a note to contact me.
We would meet at a bank and I would act as if I knew her once. Unfortunately, this is wrong in many ways. Materialism, manipulation, invasion of privacy, and especially stalking which I believe it what she feared. They are all morally wrong and still do not guarantee anything. In the end I just might end up with a two way $20,000 repair and compensation job which is easily 3 months insurance.
So, I am curious if the masses of people think that the plan is worth it, and if any of you have amoral suggestions.
I expect some insults and jokes. That is fine as well. •))
