Flip-flop

On the first day of the study, individuals ran the 100-meter dash one time in order to find a “base” time for each individual. This portion of the study allowed us to have a “control” race that we could compare the second day’s results to and see if the athletes experience a slower of faster time during the second day of the study. After the race participants filled out the Self-Evaluation Survey (Figure 1.1, pictured right) and were instructed to return the following day to complete the second…

surprising she went from typical has been to this life of the night in a very provocative outfit that well reflected what kind of a performer she was. Tick’s drag outfits were fantastic at one point in the show he was wearing a dress made out of flip flops which really stood out to me and his wigs just added even more to his outrageous style. The costume designer did great with the choices made for each character and scene in which each costume was…

It tells the story of a man forced to leave his homeland and after time he is able to send an encoded message to his wife requesting her to join him.

I went out to start my car, but it wouldn’t even turn over. At that point I was incredibly stressed out. I went inside and called my mom and told her what happened and told her she would have to take me. She begrudgingly got out of bed, put on flip flops and a coat, and drove me to the school.

Once everyone was on the bus and accounted for, we left, and I quickly fell asleep for the entire trip…

I can remember it like it was yesterday. It was a Saturday afternoon, the day my life took a graceless change for the worst. On the day May 1, 2008 I witnessed for the first time, a human being take it’s last breathe right before my eyes. The day started off as normal.

We, meaning my brother, Arshia, Avinash, my dad(he was the team manager), and I, were going to paint our scene sets and put some finishing touches on our wonderful mechanism today. We’re…

school it wasn’t much better. They would constantly send people to the office to get a change of clothes, but by doing this they also removed students from their classes, making them fall behind.
