Glad to hear! So English begins tomorrow?
June 16, 2009 9:33 pm at 9:33 pm #679612moish01Memberone of my cousins went. if i want to i could ask him. don’t know if i’m into being depressed. i don’t need to fly to europe for that 😉
June 16, 2009 9:41 pm at 9:41 pm #679613areivimzehlazehParticipantlet me clarify that this Europe trip takes place in the summer
June 16, 2009 10:26 pm at 10:26 pm #679614areivimzehlazehParticipantIt’s far from depressing moish. It’s emotional and life changing. The irony is that this of all things lends chizuk and strengthens emuna. It gives you the right perspective and priorities. It also matures those that aren’t (not you per se)
June 16, 2009 10:57 pm at 10:57 pm #679615moish01Memberi don’t think i could handle it
June 16, 2009 11:27 pm at 11:27 pm #679616anonymisssParticipantmoish, you seem like the kind of person who can handle quite a bit. Is it possible that you’re underestimating yourself?
~a the real one~

i don’t think i could handle it
In what way moish?
June 17, 2009 4:24 pm at 4:24 pm #679619kapustaParticipantmepal, NICE! thanx. 🙂
anyway, day 1 update: I found it ridiculously easy, the first essay was writing the pros of dog therapy on the elderly. (there werent any cons) and the second one was why its better to use a bike over a car. simple as that! 🙂 tomorrows the biggie…
June 17, 2009 5:16 pm at 5:16 pm #679620mepalMemberWOW kapusta, so glad to hear! Hope tomorrows’ as easy as todays’ was!
How’d you manage to figure out what to write for part one? Sounds pretty strange, dog therapy on the elderly?!?
June 17, 2009 7:12 pm at 7:12 pm #679621moish01Memberi’m not exactly a cold guy, areivim
June 17, 2009 7:38 pm at 7:38 pm #679622areivimzehlazehParticipantYou’re saying that you’re afraid of emotion. Why is that- is my question
June 17, 2009 7:43 pm at 7:43 pm #679623kapustaParticipantmepal, I hope so too. thanx for the continued support!
It was weird, but they listed a whole bunch of benefits, provides company, love, mental stimulation (I found that very farfetched) that dogs can do for older people and it was fine. It wasnt the longest essay I’ve ever written, but it wasnt too bad.
June 17, 2009 7:54 pm at 7:54 pm #679624squeakParticipant…and how does it make you feel
June 17, 2009 7:59 pm at 7:59 pm #679625moish01Memberdunno. i just am.
June 17, 2009 8:13 pm at 8:13 pm #679626mepalMemberkapusta- oh, good! The best part of part one is that they spoon feed all the info. You just gotta put it into some kind of essay.
June 17, 2009 8:20 pm at 8:20 pm #679627areivimzehlazehParticipantThis fear (of the unknown?) is stopping you from moving forward- in any area. You want to do a lot of things, you’ve said so yourself, yet each time you think too much about it you start to hold back and then let it slide for lack of… ‘courage’ I don’t think is the right word…
I understand these feelings; almost every teen has these insecurities.
What will convince you moish? To stick to working on a midda, to go back to yeshiva, to go on an inspirational trip, to let go of some pride and talk to your parents and show them you really want this change but don’t know how to go about it… (a ramble, read again)
I don’t read minds and to your relief- I’m not a kiruv pro. So what to do?
I made contact with that yeshiva and I’m doing a little research on your behalf (Now you’re thinking “Who asked you??”. ME! That’s who. Maybe I do read minds ;))
June 17, 2009 8:38 pm at 8:38 pm #679628moish01Memberdon’t kill yourself. i’m only going to disappoint you.
June 17, 2009 9:08 pm at 9:08 pm #679629moish01Membermepal, by the way i think it’s “a regents” in singular too. like one fish two fish.
June 17, 2009 9:47 pm at 9:47 pm #679630areivimzehlazehParticipantwhat’s up with the mood moish?
June 17, 2009 9:48 pm at 9:48 pm #679631areivimzehlazehParticipantPS- moish, I’m not afraid of disappointment
June 17, 2009 10:04 pm at 10:04 pm #679632moish01Membernothing major and nothing you could help anyway. plus i don’t need the entire CR’s mussar at the moment
June 17, 2009 11:00 pm at 11:00 pm #679633areivimzehlazehParticipantmoish- I make a pledge not to annoy you or give unsolicited mussar (for the time being so that you can unload). Who’s with me?
June 17, 2009 11:14 pm at 11:14 pm #679634kapustaParticipantmoish, ready and able. jk cheer up and hatzlacha in dealing with your life (I would guess it somehow related 😉 )
June 17, 2009 11:15 pm at 11:15 pm #679635an open bookParticipantsqueak: you read my mind 😉
June 18, 2009 12:15 am at 12:15 am #679636moish01Memberi’ll pass for now. thanks anyway.
June 18, 2009 12:26 am at 12:26 am #679637mepalMembermoish, I beg to differ. As in, ‘I took the English Regent today’. You wouldn’t say ‘I took the English Regents today.
June 18, 2009 1:05 am at 1:05 am #679638an open bookParticipantmoish: come visit the pressure-less atmosphere of the hangman thread 🙂
June 18, 2009 1:16 am at 1:16 am #679639moish01Memberyou sure? check the cover of the Barron’s review book
June 18, 2009 1:38 am at 1:38 am #679640JaxMembermoish: ha! when did you last look at a regent book buddy!?
June 18, 2009 3:55 am at 3:55 am #679641JaxMemberi’m convinced AZ’s thread gets updated the slowest!
June 18, 2009 4:24 am at 4:24 am #679642kapustaParticipantwell, I hate to break up a good fight, but I actually did take the regen__ today. I would agree with me pal mepal but honestly, I think both of them are used. I’m not sure which one is correct.
June 18, 2009 1:14 pm at 1:14 pm #679643mepalMembermoish, maybe it says it in plural there since there are like 6 regents in the book ;). Not sure…
June 18, 2009 3:50 pm at 3:50 pm #679644moish01Membercheck the title of one of the regents. i just looked on regentsprep.com it says
The University of the State of New York
REGENTS HIGH SCHOOL EXAMINATION
http://www.nysedregents.org/testing/socstre/socstudarch/ushgjan03.pdf
June 18, 2009 5:15 pm at 5:15 pm #679645mepalMemberWow! someone does his homework 😉
June 18, 2009 5:25 pm at 5:25 pm #679646moish01Memberjust two quick examples from wikipedia – check out the grammar
If a student’s cell phone or any other electronically devices may make noises the student’s test will become void, and he/she must retake that regents at a later time.
The English Regents requires four essays, each structured differently.
June 18, 2009 5:25 pm at 5:25 pm #679647moish01Memberand yeah i always do my homework. ever since i quit school 😉
June 18, 2009 5:29 pm at 5:29 pm #679648moish01Memberfeivel, any more creations coming up? it’s been a while.
June 18, 2009 5:40 pm at 5:40 pm #679649mepalMemberyeh moish, check out the chemistry regent thread.
about the regents, are you shocked the NYS govt doesn’t know grammar? I’m not! 😉
June 18, 2009 6:02 pm at 6:02 pm #679650kapustaParticipantmepal, I finished!
I connected a quote that I interpreted as conformist/non conformist, to (get this, you sitting down?) mordechai refused to bow down to haman. stopped laughing?
I used huck finn as the other one.
June 18, 2009 6:10 pm at 6:10 pm #679651June 18, 2009 6:10 pm at 6:10 pm #679652mepalMemberaaaaaaaaaah!! Picking up my jaw from the floor RIGHT NOW! Kapusta, good for you!! You’re so brave!
June 18, 2009 6:59 pm at 6:59 pm #679653moish01Membermepal, you know you lost this one. just face it 😉
June 18, 2009 7:04 pm at 7:04 pm #679654mepalMemberaaaaaaaaaw, shucks!
June 18, 2009 7:18 pm at 7:18 pm #679655kapustaParticipantmepal, I had to, it was a weird quote, but it was really funny writing it out. Start an essay on a regent, “in the book of Esther…” 😉
moish, how can she face it, part of it’s on the floor. 😉
June 18, 2009 7:27 pm at 7:27 pm #679656yossi z.Memberkapusta: i would have actually done it (wow! that much show how much i miss it!) but there are two problems 1) i wouldn’t be allowed in a girls school (sorry don’t know how to mask a beard no matter how small) 2) english, although i may have done well on my regent (yes i was in new york for high school) it still is not the subject i am best at (but in all seriousness there are regents in august? mine were june-ish)
June 18, 2009 8:28 pm at 8:28 pm #679657mepalMemberRegentS make ups are in August and January.
June 18, 2009 8:32 pm at 8:32 pm #679658mepalMemberKapusta, just try imagining your teachers face while she reads your essay….
Unless she told you that you may use books from the ‘scripture’ before the regentS.
June 18, 2009 8:59 pm at 8:59 pm #679659yossi z.Membermepal: in my days oh, say about a year ago it was spelled regent for singular and regentS for plural and i refuse to change in that matter (thereby backing out of machloikes (yeah right :))
in regards to my most recent post on this topic THIS DOES NOT MEAN I LIKE(D) SCHOOL I AM JUST BEING NOSTALGIC (not to say i was totally repulsed by it.-i think i can start a thread on this topic)
