Open Question: Are student exchanges worth the money?

Oct 31, 2011 @ 06:52 pm by

I am a second year high school student who is interested in going to an exchange to a French speaking country, most likely Belgium.

I do not think I will be going on a 3 month exchange (S1 travels to S2’s home for 3 months while attending the S2’s school then S2 travels to S1’s home for 3 months while attending S1’s school) as I would have to do too much catching up in school and other activities.
I am, however, considering a summer exchange in which the exchange process is the similar but is for 1 month rather than 3 months and is during summer rather than during the school year.
This process is more of a cultural exchange than a linguistic exchange, so I would not be learning the language as much as I would the culture, which I think would be equally interesting.
My family usually goes vacationing in the summer anyways to the mountains or somewhere else that is nice. We take our RV and stay at campsites, so space wouldn’t be an issue.

The only concern I really do have is me. I am a bit of an introvert around my friends and classmates, usually because I am not interesting in the things they are talking about.
When I am camping with my family, we do not do something every day, some days we just sit around and read or play board games. I am not sure if the student would be okay with that, or if it would just bore them? I am sure if I did decide to do this, I would plan with my family so we can do more travelling so they can see more of Canada rather than relaxing (this is all of course if they agree to it).

Basically what I am asking is it the summer exchange worth it for me (from what you can from this)?

Resolved Question: Probability Problem, permutation or combination?

Oct 31, 2011 @ 02:39 pm by

There are 326 students in the class. If each student shakes hands with every student, how many handshakes will take place?
If each student gives every student a Halloween treat, how many treats will be exchanged?

I’m not sure whether to use the equations for permutation or combination. Also, wouldn’t the answer for both be the same :s

Resolved Question: There’s a drop bear in my back yard?

Oct 31, 2011 @ 07:27 am by

I keep finding evidence of drop bears near where I live (in the bush in a remote part of Victoria) and I’m wondering if I should to try and catch one. I’ve been finding their bloody claw-marks on trees, their droppings, hearing their calls at night and around dawn, footprints at the edges of puddles and ponds when they come down from the trees to drink. We lost our last Japanese exchange student to one. I’ve lived in Australia my whole life, so I’m not exactly their usual prey, but I don’t know what would happen if I cornered one. I’ve got a screwdriver helmet just in case and plenty of Vegemite - not to mention I’ve been practising hopping on one leg - but these *are* dangerous creatures. Is it best if I leave them alone, or should I try to catch, or at least lure one out, in the name of science? They are, after all, majestic and fascinating predators, and one of the last remaining species of marsupial carnivores.
Oh, but Trolley, I don’t WANT to elude them! I want to find them. It’s a triumph for conservationalists that such a rare and unusual species has survived for so long!
@ Ellen: Drop bears are carnivorous marsupial relative of the koala. They are usually about the size of a black bear and live in trees, though there are several subspecies including Aquatic, Burrowing and Alpine. They mainly feed on unsuspecting tourists by dropping down on them from above and sinking their fangs into their victim’s skull. They are extremely efficient predators as no one is known to have survived a drop bear attack. See this site for more details.

Resolved Question: Where can I get Korean Daily Planners? Like a **REAL** Korean daily planner?

Oct 31, 2011 @ 02:01 am by

I really love Korean things, so any websites with Korean school supplies (I guess) would be great! I’ve always wanted a Korean Daily Planner. I know it’s weird, but, I really want one because last year my class had a exchange student, and she had an awesome planner, haha.. Thanks! (โ—•โ—กโ—•)

P.S. The currency must be USD$…(Obviously…)
