Gybes - Waterskiing Questions

Question #1:

Water in ear problem?

I was waterskiing behind a boat 3 hours ago. I fell and was being dragged underwater for a few seconds. My ear hurts really bad now. I don't know if there is slot of water in it or the pressure of being dragged hurt something. No water has come out.. I don't think infection is likely because it was only a few hours ago. I took some ear drops but that didn't help. What should I do?

Question #6:

Why do you think this guy led me on like he did?

This was from a loooong time ago, but it just occurred to me that he never had any good reason for any of it.

So I was 15. We went to an extended relative's beach house for two days, and among a lot of family members of my step dad, there was a guy, let's call him Jacob. Nineteen and completely unrelated to me, he was homeschooled, smart, tech saavy, and a filmmaker. And I found out later, he lives in the same town I do. (We were way away from it, on the coast.) Plus, he's gorgeous and has long hair, something I was big on at 15. However, noting his gorgeousness, I also decided there was no way I was jumping to conclusions about this. I didn't know his age then, just that he was a few years older than me.
Over the course of two days, he did a LOT of "gallant" sort of things. Like he would make a point of sitting next to me even when I went out of my way to make it easier for him to sit elsewhere, and when I was finished waterskiing, he would scramble to the back of the boat from the helm with his hand out to help me out of the water. I should mention that he thought I was sixteen, although it didn't seem to make a difference later when he found out. He paid so much attention to me, and dropped little hints everywhere. God, I can't even remember everything he did, but let me say, it was OBVIOUS. Everyone noticed, including step-relatives I barely knew, and I was subjected to teasing about it for about a year afterward. Being me, I practically fell in love with him.

So, then we left. I didn't even know his last name. And it killed me.
A few months later, I found him on facebook. We began having long conversations over chat, and let me say that he's pretty boring to listen to, but at the time I was too infatuated with him. I dropped subtle hints that I liked him. I also noticed that the majority of his friends were girls and whenever he posted something, there were always girls there to comment. Eventually, I told him that I liked him. He told me he didn't. That was the end of that. We stopped having conversations.
However, in January, he invited us to his giant birthday party, where they did contra dancing. He greeted us and was flirting again, asking me to dance, grabbing my hand. (Which I refused, because a few tries with the group dancing led me to the conclusion that I should never dance. Ever. EVER.) I was sixteen at this point.
Eventually, he made an unintelligible status on facebook, which I asked him about. It was a series of almost twenty connected, seemingly random letters. He led me on a long guessing game, and eventually I just asked him to tell me what the crap it meant. He told me it was a list of all the girls that had liked him by first letter in their names (REALLY, Jacob? Really? You made a list?) and to notice that the last letter was the first letter of my name. I don't remember what I said to him, something polite, but god I wanted to smack him. I can't understand why he pulled all this shit. I mean, he's kind of naive socially, pretty much the homeschooled kid stereotype, but he does things like THAT. Later he made a fan page FOR HIMSELF, saying that people kept friending him after contra dancing with him (it's pretty much him life, going to dance festivals). He has 29 fans, ridiculously.

I can't tell if he's self-centered or just genuinely leads girls on for fun. Insight, anybody?

Question #7:

where to waterski in tri -state (ny,nj,ct) area?

Question #8:

Six pack GONE? What HAPPENED to him?!?

Okay, so this is awkward but my curiousity is killing me. There's this guy Im buddies with (and used to really like....) who works out alot. 3-4 times a week weight lifts. He's been doing this since he was 16. He’s also a healthy eating fanatic. He eats like every 3 hours, but its always healthy (nuts, chicken breasts, beans/tortillas, bananas, watermelon, apples, protein bars). Every year a group of people we know go to the beach, and for the past three years, i've seen him without his shirt. When we were 17, he was kinda muscular. When we were 18, he had a six pack and oblique abs. So this year, while we're out waterskiing and he whipped his shirt off, I was suprised: Its like the six pack is...gone! Yet he works out all the time? GUYS! WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? IS IT POSSIBLE TO WORK OUT SO MUCH YOU LOSE YOUR SIX PACK? WHY WOULD THAT HAPPEN? WHY DID HE LOOK BETTER IN THE PAST?! And no, it doesnt really matter to me, Im just curious.

Question #9:

Figurative Language in Up Introduction to Poetry, by Billy Collins?

Introduction to Poetry

Billy Collins

I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide

or press an ear against its hive.

I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,

or walk inside the poem's room
and feel the walls for a light switch.

I want them to waterski
across the surface of a poem
waving at the author's name on the shore.

But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with rope
and torture a confession out of it.

They begin beating it with a hose
to find out what it really means.

~ What is being personified in the poem?

~ In the last two stanzas (poem paragraph) the tone of the poem changes. How? Explain .

~ Who do you think the “they” and “them” is in the poem? What makes you think this? Use text support.

Question #12:

Would I get into Clemson, early decision?

I'm going to be a junior and currently don't have enough information to supply about grades.

But now I have a 3.0, got about a 1200 on the PSAT (which I plan to do MUCH better on the actual SAT)

I am on two clubs, in the summer I do show and competitive waterskiing (plan to do collegiate at Clemson if accepted). This year my friend and I are creating our own club at the school and will have officer positions.

If I show them that I am serious about Clemson and apply early decision, do you think they will accept me?

Please also tell me how to improve! I know I really need to work on academics.

P.s.- I am taking spanish 4 this year, 3 AP courses,1 or 2 honor courses. As I have in the past too.

Question #13:

Is it normal for boobs to get smaller?

OK so I am really active and have been running a lot and in both summer soccer and basketball leagues in addition to rollerblading and waterskiing etc. I have always had small boobs but have noticed that they are even smaller. It's not an issue of weight because I have always been thin. Would all of this activity make them shrink...even when there wasn't much to begin with? I'm 16 yrs and 7 mos. old so I was thinking they should still be growing a little bit more...not getting smaller? If I stop being so active will they grow back to their original size? Well OK that's my question...thanks for reading and your thoughts:) Have a great day!

Question #14:

What are some fun things to do at a lake cabin?

I'm going to my lake cabin in a few days and I do the same stuff everytime I go there (fishing, waterski, and water tubing) so i need some good and fun ideas.

Question #15:

Would this peice of wood fall apart?

Hello answerers,
So what I am wondering is, if I were to take a small hunk of wood and make it into a necklace/keepsake, would it stay strong or would time wither it away? It's not like the wearer would be waterskiing/bungee jumping on a daily basis. But it would have a string woven through it.
So what do you think?
Thanks :)

Question #16:

How hard is barefoot water skiing?

I am a 16 year old female. I am pretty athletic. I water ski presently, at my cottage. And I slalom (well kind of). I tried wakeboarding and I still can't get up. I would like to TRY barefooting. My dad has a sea doo. So we don't have the handle that can stick out of the boat to learn how to waterski (the boom). I would have to start off in the water. Has anyone tried this before? Starting off in the water or eve just barefooting? If you do or did do this please let me know how hard it would be for me..
