Well, there's the fact that with the increase of globalization countries going through the transition process can receive economic and military aid from other countries. At least, I think that's what you are referring to by globalization. I'm definetly not an expert.Ken Korda said:
This is a gaming related question, I'm trying to hook my 360 to the internet so I can use xbox live, here's my problem, we use a wireless connection in this house and I have a wireless usb adapter for my computer, is it possible to hook the 360 through a router into my computer and feed off of it's wireless connection?
And no I can not buy the xbox wireless adapter it's too expensive with my current budget.

I feel your pain, as I'm in a similar situation myself. Liberal Arts grads are having a tough time in today's market (as well as most others as well), but I know one thing that you can do that will DEFINITELY look good in whatever you pursue (well, if it involves schooling): research.Tenmar said:
Talk to your former professors, your friend's families, ANYONE related to the fields you're interested in, and ask if they need help with any research they're doing. It'll let you know if you really want to pursue that field (if you don't like doing research in a field, better to find out beforehand than during grad school), look good if you apply to internships or seek jobs (+ give you GREAT references if you do good work), and give you a step up for the competition.
Currently my plans fell through to teach English abroad (damn you, riotous Thailand -_-), and I'm living with my parents just like you said. But I'm also actively seeking out research (along with another job) so that I have a better chance to go to grad school.
Currently in a bind about the morality of what I'm going to be doing with my life. Which is kill people, and help others kills people. Bad people of course, but people none the less. I think I'll be able to, but possibility remains that I'll freeze and get good people killed. Hopefully the training will beat that out of me.
Prozacxitel said:
There's probably more going on in your head but for a short term just to get school done without wasting money... i say go for Prozac. I know that when I was in college i reached a point where i just didn't get up or go to classes... at that point I lied, told my primary physician that i was molested as child and they instantly granted me the prozac prescription. It definitely helped however the Prozac stunted my creativity and I had to get off of it once I hit my Jr. year since that was when the film projects started.
Personally I have no clue about the career path of an archivist or curator. So for me, I would probably interview a handful of curators just to find out the career path that got them to where they are. Either way, I would definitely figure out the road map first before I started proceeding down any path.Tenmar said:

Do you have a bad gag reflex or something? You can crush the pills you know, if that's your problem.
No, not the physical act of swallowing them. Hell, I can swallow them dry by this point. It's getting out of bed and popping them in my mouth that I'm talking about. Normally, I wake up, go "I should take my pills and head to class". Then I wake up half an hour later and go "I should take my pills and go to class, hopefully they'll kick in about halfway through." Then I wake up an hour later and go "Ah, screw it, I'm going back to bed".BallPtPenTheif said:
If they fire you, then start looking for a new job. If they don't, then start looking anyways, seeing as how your job security is gone now. Just hope that your seniority will hold some sway. Unless you're getting replaced by a machine.fix-the-spade said:
Sounds more like an issue of immature time management. I got over that by placing the alarm across the room, setting the clock 10 minutes ahead while regarding it as "real time", and when it's a radio alarm I set it to some inane christian rock station. Usually my disgust over their rhetoric forces me to get up.xitel said:
The pills, you may want to try taking them mid-day if your evening and morning schedules are chaotic. Just pick a time of day that is consistent... and anti-depressants don't necessarily "kick in". They usually take 2 weeks to reach balance with your system and to take full effect... so taking a pill late in the day is fine though not desirable.
For the "waking up problem" I have an alarm that goes off 2 hours earlier then it needs to so I have enough time to wake up. That is about the only answer I can give you since I have no idea about pills and stuff.
My own question: My parents are getting a divorce and my mum doesn't have much money. She had a pre-nup I think and my dad isn't giving her much money. I'm 14 should I be worrying about this or should I let it slide?
Also I am in a long-distance relationship. Are there any tips on how to keep one going? Is anyone else in one?

As for the divorce issue, although it doesn't seem fair, there is nothing you can really do about the terms of the separation so you'll have to just let it slide, I think. Worrying about it won't do anyone any good, if you're living with your mother then just keep in mind her lack of funds, as she will feel guilty about not being able to give you what you want.notyouraveragejoe said:
Next; long term relationships. The key is communication. As long as you keep talking to each other you can maintain it. Perhaps using web cams would be an idea, as then you'd at least got to see them once in a while.
Well, I can't tell you about the divorce, my parents divorced when I was in 2nd grade so I don't remember much about it. As for the relationship, I'm in one right now, and my advice would be to just try to stick through it and hope it makes you stronger. Later in life you'll have to deal with long distance relationships at some point, so learning how to deal with one now is very useful.notyouraveragejoe said:
Adderall does "kick in", seeing as how it's not an anti-depressant, it's an anti ADHD medication. And that's where the problem comes from. I can't motivate myself to take them. My clock IS across the room, I do stand up and walk over to it, bu I still can't get out of bed completely. Oh well.BallPtPenTheif said:
Thanks for the relationship advice, we do use webcam and we call every week. But the reason I worry about the divorce is that my Mum always complains about money/ shouts at my Dad over the phone about it when she thinks I'm out of earshot. I've been helping her through a lot (my uncle, her brother passed away a year ago) and with this things get... difficult.
On a completely separate note. I've been getting nightmares for a while now. I don't consider myself brave so when one of the scarier ones hit me I get freaked out and can't sleep. Anyone have any ideas on why I get these and how to stop them?
If your clock isn't waking you up properly then get the second and extremely annoying solution. Get the most pain in the ass alarm or if its a radio alarm then tune it to the crappiest music and see if being annoyed enough motivates you to get up. If you can't get motivated to get up, try waking up earlier and going for a jog. I walk/jog to my bus stop a half hour away and since I've done that waking up has gotten easier.
Speaking about sleep I gotta hit the hay. Night everyone.

Well prozac is an anti-depressant so I don't get why we are discussing adderall. Either way, sleeping or imobility despite the consequences is a symptom of depression. You should probably be discussing this lack of motivation with your physician... you seem intent on characterizing this issue as "I just can't get up".xitel said:
Well, if it is just that, then stop being lazy... if it is more complicated than that then you need to speak with a pyschologist about it, as it sounds like you already have one. Despite your excuses it's really a simple problem you just need to really want to fix it if you want it to change.
I know it sounds trivial but how late do you eat before you go to sleep? Usually people remember dreams or nightmares because they wake up in the middle of them... most dreams we have are not remembered at all since for the most part, they carry on without interruption.notyouraveragejoe said:
Having an active digestive system while trying to sleep can result in waking up in the middle of the night be it a nightmare or dream. Other than that, you can try to figure out what other things might be waking you in the night... for me it tends to be the tv, food, babies, or my wife's knee in my spine...
