  • Is it a good idea to go to an in-state university for a year before going out of state?

    I am torn between going to an out of state college (University of Hawaii) and going in-state for a year before transferring to UH. UH is a much better school than my in-state, but im concerned that both the transition to college and leaving everything that I know behind is too big of a transition for me all at once. I have an excellent relationship with my parents and if i go in state, i will have a couple of high school friends to hang out with if i get lonely and I'll be rooming with one of my best friends. I'm one that finds it hard to make new friends (I've known most of my friends for 5 years or more) and I tend to be introverted. My thought with going in state for a year is that I can get adjusted to college while still retaining a lot of my support structure and then transferring and only having to deal with the transition to a new location. My thought for going to UH is that itll force me to be more independent and make friends and get over my introvertedness. I dont want my college grades to suffer though if i find it extremely difficult to make all the transition at one point.

  • How do out of state students make university of hawaii work?

    I wanted to go to the university of hawaii, but with their strict residency policy, i dont see how. You have to live in hawaii for 12 months and during that time, you cannot take more than 5 credits per quarter or that time is not valid. they say they have 20% out of state students, but how do those students make that work? do they just pay out of state tuition for 4 years or what?

  • Can you come up with an interview question that determines if a person is too self-centered?

    Im an interviewer and I wana have a question that will determine if someone will put their subordinates before themselves or not. He needs to be able to take care of himself while also being conscientious to the needs of his team members and when he needs to, put the needs of the team before the needs of himself in both everyday working conditions as well as during stressful situations and I need a question that will determine this quality as well as be a question that will show the applicant's true nature, not just get an answer that will be what I and the other members of the interview board want to hear.

  • How hard is it to transfer from the reserves to active duty in the Coast Guard?

    I'm a junior in high school and I'm thinking about doing the split training program where i would go to basic training this summer and be in the reserves through senior year. The only problem is that the recruiter said that it's not a guarantee that i would be able to transfer to active duty after i finish high school. I understand that there's no guarantee and it depends on how well my evaluations are but what's the realistic probability that i will be able to transfer over? Do people do it all the time or is it really competitive and only the best are able to transfer?

  • what is the meaning of The Fish by Elizabeth Bishop?

    I caught a tremendous fish

    and held him beside the boat

    half out of water, with my hook

    fast in a corner of his mouth.

    He didn't fight.

    He hadn't fought at all.

    He hung a grunting weight,

    battered and venerable

    and homely. Here and there

    his brown skin hung in strips

    like ancient wallpaper,

    and its pattern of darker brown

    was like wallpaper:

    shapes like full-blown roses

    stained and lost through age.

    He was speckled with barnacles,

    fine rosettes of lime,

    and infested

    with tiny white sea-lice,

    and underneath two or three

    rags of green weed hung down.

    While his gills were breathing in

    the terrible oxygen

    --the frightening gills,

    fresh and crisp with blood,

    that can cut so badly--

    I thought of the coarse white flesh

    packed in like feathers,

    the big bones and the little bones,

    the dramatic reds and blacks

    of his shiny entrails,

    and the pink swim-bladder

    like a big peony.

    I looked into his eyes

    which were far larger than mine

    but shallower, and yellowed,

    the irises backed and packed

    with tarnished tinfoil

    seen through the lenses

    of old scratched isinglass.

    They shifted a little, but not

    to return my stare.

    --It was more like the tipping

    of an object toward the light.

    I admired his sullen face,

    the mechanism of his jaw,

    and then I saw

    that from his lower lip

    --if you could call it a lip

    grim, wet, and weaponlike,

    hung five old pieces of fish-line,

    or four and a wire leader

    with the swivel still attached,

    with all their five big hooks

    grown firmly in his mouth.

    A green line, frayed at the end

    where he broke it, two heavier lines,

    and a fine black thread

    still crimped from the strain and snap

    when it broke and he got away.

    Like medals with their ribbons

    frayed and wavering,

    a five-haired beard of wisdom

    trailing from his aching jaw.

    I stared and stared

    and victory filled up

    the little rented boat,

    from the pool of bilge

    where oil had spread a rainbow

    around the rusted engine

    to the bailer rusted orange,

    the sun-cracked thwarts,

    the oarlocks on their strings,

    the gunnels--until everything

    was rainbow, rainbow, rainbow!

    And I let the fish go.

  • What is the best racing game for PC?

    I'm thinking of something similar to Forza Motorsport 3. It needs to have excellent graphics, realistic cars, a large selection of cars, and car customization that includes being able to buy specific parts for the cars like camshafts, drive pulleys, turbos, intakes, etc; not just "tuning level 1, tuning level 2"

  • Which is better, DiRT vs DiRT 2?

    They both have excellent graphics and I don't care about multiplayer, so which has a better career mode? I think DiRT has more cars than the second as well as car customization to set suspension and other stuff so is there anything that DiRT 2 does that makes up for the lack of that?
