Is there only one version of Homers The Odyssey? So we have to read it for school and i'm in year 12. I was wondering if there is only one version of the odyssey because i'm looking at some notes on the internet and if they are based on the only version of the odyssey then i'll base my written notes off them. I can really not read that book, we have like 8 weeks to read it and I cannot read a page in like 20 secs like everyone else, it takes me a few minutes per page because the writing is tiny and there are like 400 pages.

Should you apply for a job in person or online? So as many of you may know, pretty much every business has a website where you can apply for a job online, my question is, should you do it online or in person?

But I just don't know if people will even consider me if I apply online, your thoughts?

Did/Do your parents fight a lot? Mine do, i'm just wondering if it's normal or if i'm alone or whatever, they always fight about money, credit card debts, spending money on beer etc. They don't do it like 24/7, and they don't physically do anything to each other, but they both get really mad and swear and yell at each other, and then after the argument is all done, they murmur under their breath things and that really gets on my nerves. There's never any apologies or making ups so I know they don't like each other anymore. So yea do your parents fight with each other?

I didn't really try last year and I regret it and I don't know why. I did my work in class for the most part, but I didn't remember too much of it. My question is how do I actually learn stuff in school? Like do I make sure a understand it before I move onto the next topic? Do I do homework everynight, liike questions about that subject online? Do I get people to quiz me on things? What do smart people do in school that makes them different from the dropkicks? I have never really understood how to be good at school and how to try, I haven't really bothered. I think I
