  • Does this email sound formal and respectful?

    I am letting the dean of my college know (who is also the professor that will be in charge of the class as well) that I will not be able to participate in their program and thus be taken off and not charged for anything. Does it sound alright? or should I write something more or take stuff out?

    "Good Evening (the dean's name),

    I am writing to inform you that I have spoken with my parents, and unfortunately, due to financial reasons I will not be able to participate in the Study Abroad for this Summer 2015. I ask then, that my name be added to the list of students that will be taking the class during the Fall 2015. I would also like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and wish you a safe journey this summer.

    Thanks in advance,

    My name"

  • Asking a professor for a job reference; is this a good way to approach the situation?

    There are three professors I'm well acquainted with, that I'm considering asking if I could put them as my references for a couple of jobs I'm going to apply for.

    Here's some background info;

    One of them is a former high school teacher whom I got along with very well and with whom after graduation kept in touch with for quite a while. I've known him for 4 years (or 7 total if we count emailing back and forth every now and then after graduation) It has been 10 months since we last spoke however.

    The other two are college professors from the major I'm majoring in, that I have had a class with.

    One of them I used to email asking for help on assignments from his class and met with a couple of times during office hours. I've asked as well for his feedback and help in projects from other classes which I continue to do even though I no longer have him as a professor anymore. I sort of see him as a mentor and really admire him. He has told me a couple times that he knows I care and am very hardworking. I've only known him for two semesters however.

    The third one has said as well, that I'm a very hard working student and put a lot of effort into my work. My projects were among the exemplary ones in the class and she even offered me a job to help her in a small project but a few days later apologized as she was no longer going to go through with the project and didn't need my help anymore. I've only known her for a semester.

  • How would you write this email invitation?

    I want to send an email inviting/asking my classmates if they would be interested in attending a goodbye dinner party in a specific food place on campus which I think is cheap and everyone can afford as well as show I would really appreciate it if they can make it. I'll just miss everyone and since I really enjoyed spending and having class with them I want us have like a goodbye dinner where we'll be together for the last time.

    Its kind of the first time I do something like this so I don't know how to go about it and would really appreciate your help.

    Thanks in advance

  • What is the difference between 2:1 and 1:2?

    I know 1:1 means it has the same scale as it actually is in real life.

    So 1:2 means that it's half the size right? therefore 2:1 would mean that you doubled the size, so in real life it would be twice as big?

  • What does classical "Monet" landscape mean?

    The paragraph says;

    "The villa is situated on a hill which slopes steeply toward the Seine, the Bois de Boulogne, and the city of Paris, in the residential area of Saint Cloud - a neighbourhood characterised by 19th century houses in a classical "Monet" landscape."

    I understand they are talking about the painter Claude Monet who seems to have this style of painting that is similar to where the villa is built. But what is this style? what does it mean?

  • How can I tell my mom, who gets easily mad, in a polite subtle way?

    to stop texting me every minute of the day and expecting me to tell her what I'm doing every second of the day without her getting mad?

    I'm at college now, and I get it she misses me, but she expects me to tell her when I wake up, what class I'm going to and when I'm leaving to go to that class, what time I get out, what I'm doing at the moment and what plans I have and on the weekends she wakes me up saying why I sleep so late and if I want to go to sleep early she criticizes me for it. I'm so annoyed and fed up. But if I just tell her to leave me alone she'll get mad and it would be worse. She even think people are influencing me to tell her to stop texting me.

    can someone please tell me a way in which I could do this without annoying her or something?

  • Would watching a video count?

    So I'll be using my school's internet on my own laptop, and they let us know that they'll be fining like $20,000 per song you download illegally. I get it, I understand that. I won't be downloading anything but my question is, if I watch a video, say from gorillavid or shockshare, would that count? I mean I won't DOWNLOAD anything I'd just watch it like a regular youtube video.

  • which figures of speech can you find in these song?

    Well I took a walk around the world

    To ease my troubled mind.

    I left my body lying somewhere

    In the sands of time.

    But I watched the world float

    To the dark side of the moon.

    I feel there's nothing I can do, yeah

    I watched the world float

    To the dark side of the moon.

    After all I knew it had to be

    Something to do with you.

    I really don’t mind what happens now and then

    As long as you’ll be my friend at the end.

    If I go crazy then will you still

    Call me Superman.

    If I’m alive and well, will you be

    There a-holding my hand.

    I’ll keep you by my side

    With my superhuman might, kryptonite

    You called me strong, you called me weak,

    But still your secrets I will keep.

    You took for granted all the times

    I never let you down. You stumbled

    in and bumped your head, and if not

    for me then you'd be dead.

    I picked you up and put you back

    On solid ground.

  • Question about the past, the present and the future?

    Ok, so you can't change the past, because it already happened, there's no way to change it and if you travel to the it, everything and anything you do, you were supposed to...because that's just how it is right? right

    so, if you were to travel to the future and did stuff, you could change the present but never the past right?

    of course there are it's exceptions right?

    BQ: which are they?
