Yeah, I'm kind of desperately wanting June 2010 right now, when I finally graduate from IB. So, all you lucky 09'ers and everyone else, what do you plan to do the summer of your graduation year? And to those university kids who already graduated, what did you do? I plan to: - travel (hopefully Paris, Istanbul, Moscow, all the nice big cities in Europe... not very likely though, considering how broke I am) - TRAVEL MORE (yeah, more realistically, road trip around where I live?) - SLEEEEEEPPPP

I know that there are people who actually enjoy the work IB thrusts upon them, but there are things that people like IB in general. In this post I was wondering if like, well, let's start a game. Post your favorite things about IB, whether it be the people you meet, the memories you make, etc. Be specific! I'll do mine... My favorite part of being an IB student is the family you create with your other students. You all lean against each other for everything it it's awesome. You get to make awesome memories (Like running through the halls to your ex-biology teacher and getting her to print your parts C and F of your IA...) and stuff. Your turn!

Do girls really have more shoes than boys? Rough estimates don't count. Get up, go dig them out from under your bed/from your closet/the basement and count. I'm a girl and have 26 pairs.

The concern whether it is ethical to use the custom essay writing (link removed) services or not is one of the major matters of discussion among the college students and academic teachers. Now that I have realized the complexities of the current scenario, I have decided to put this article to talk about the issue of hiring any Custom Essay writer as compare to working on it individually. I believe Custom Essays writing services to be ethical but how students use it is certainly debatable and controversial. Students should take these services as part of their tuition. It is just like usage of computers or television which are legal to be sold but these accessories can be u…

[size=4][b]I want to ask my orthodontist to file my teeth to make them as straight as possible. he wanted to take my braces off in a month, but my 2 front teeth were touching and had a small gap that annoyed me. I asked him about it and he talked to me about filing it and later performed it. I love how it turned out, and later that day i noticed my bottom teeth also had little gaps inbetween where food would get stuck. first off, i don't really want to annoy my orthodontist with it but i want to file inbetween my other teeth and at the top to make them as straight as possible. can this be done for free? or will i be too bothersome? i believe since i paid him lik…

I'm using windows vista but I do not want it to download updates automatically. I changed it to "check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" but it changed back to "install updates automatically". Does anyone know a way to stop it from doing this? Is this proof that windows is spy ware, by downloading/installing things without my approval? Also, I know windows is a piece of crap, that's why I dual-boot ubuntu but I need vista for my homework (calc book on CD and can only be run on windows or mac, already tried using programs).
