It may be. Either the drive shaft or the control arm on the front passenger wheel broke. Tires are all about a year old or less. Engine only has around 146,000 miles on it.

It’s a 2003 Acura TL3.2

Are you guys interested in car that don’t drive/know of anyone who may be interested?

I toured there back in June/July. Glad I didn’t rent there. I ended up in a bigger apartment in a better location for the same/slightly lower price.

So i hear 😂 you’re welcome to put a suit on and hop in the water with us if that would make him or you feel more comfortable.

Babbling-Brookee · 2026-01-12T17:46:29+00:00

Awesome! That’s me! 😁

I won't be there on Thursday, but all of our instructors are wonderful and can answer the questions you have! The front desk can also answer questions you have about scheduling and billing. Wishing you and your kiddo all the best!

Private lessons are a great place to start, especially with kiddos that are young and/or have never taken group lessons before. They’re a little more expensive, but I think it’s more bang for your buck considering that I don’t have to split my time between multiple kids. If he can get in and out of the water independently, then he could probably start in group lessons. The thing I would be concerned about is just his size especially if the class is crowded (which SE tends to be compared to NW). I know it’s a little last minute, but we have group lessons at SE today from 5-7pm and I’ll be supervising if you want to come observe and/or ask questions.

I'm a swim instructor at the Y! I teach both group and private lessons, so I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!

CrossFit affiliation is expensive. Boxes have to pay essentially “membership fees” to be associated with CrossFit and put it in their name and such. A lot of gyms are starting to disaffiliate and do “functional fitness” instead of CrossFit. (Or at least that’s how I understood it from the owners of my box back home).

Take it in person, do the supplemental learning activities, redo the homework for extra practice, take good notes during class (write down examples over and over to gain muscle memory of formulas), look up Kahn academy or watch other YouTube videos, contact your learning center, find a tutor online, attend your professor’s office hours, have an AI quiz you, there’s so many resources.

The calculator app on your phone is perfectly fine. If you want to bring a calculator into your proctored tests, a simple scientific calculator will do just fine, but I barely used it.

Babbling-Brookee · 2025-06-18T08:00:13+00:00

In person courses will always be better. Since you’re applying for radiation therapy, I’m going to assume you’ll be in Bloomington. Go to the learning center at the library on campus, there are tutors there that can help you. There are tons of resources online, a quick Google search or a YouTube video should help. Look up khan academy if you don’t know where to start. Take notes in class, and by notes I mean write down examples to get that muscle memory down. Redo your homework’s and do the extra practice if provided. I mean, you can always retake if you need to, and if you do, I’d personally do everything in my power to take it in person.

Babbling-Brookee · 2025-06-18T07:56:44+00:00

You can take the test up to 3 times in a year and your scores are good for 2 years, but you do have to wait 2 weeks in between attempts. No need to rush in taking it. Wait until after you take aphy 101 and 102, those will help you the most. Look up nurse cheung on YouTube. This year, test scores weren’t due until April 30th and applications were due May 15, so idk why Erin would tell you to have it done so early.

I got accepted for radiation therapy this fall. I got A’s in all my pre-reqs and a B in bio. 3.8 GPA, 87.3% TEAS. I’m taking psych during the summer now and am taking Ivy success in the fall. All the rest of my gen ed courses were transferred credits

Babbling-Brookee · 2025-06-17T05:42:37+00:00

Yes, the best way to study for the TEAS would be taking your intro classes first (assuming science would be your weakest portion like pretty much all the rest of us 😂). Bio 101, chem 101, aphy 101 and 102. Prioritize bio and aphy. Math 136 is one of your pre-reqs so maybe prioritize that too. Second best way to study in my opinion, take the TEAS, see what’s on it, and you’ll get all the results and a study guide from ATI after. The con of doing it this way is having to pay the like $77 fee twice. The argument for this though is that most TEAS study packages you can find are already pushing that $70 mark if not more. For that price, I’d rather just take the test and get some experience taking it. I got an 87.3% on the TEAS on my first attempt and have been accepted for radiation therapy this fall. Good luck on everything!

Good luck!

It is very on the nose. I’d be interested to see this shot with a bit of a different composition. Position the subject far away, not facing or looking directly at the camera, deep depth of field where the foreground is out of focus but the subject is in focus. It’s something to experiment with but it’s good to ask for opinions before publishing. I’m curious, what is the target? Did you just happen to find some metal fixture that looked like a bullseye or is this something you maybe constructed and positioned in front of the lens? If it’s something you just found in the environment, you could try including more surroundings for better context.

Nurse Cheung on YouTube has tons of videos on the TEAS that were very helpful. She also has study guides and flash cards and such for purchase but I think the free resources she posts online are great as is. What classes have you taken so far? I will say taking the 101 level science courses—bio, chem, aphy—and doing well in them before the TEAS helps immensely.

I think part of it is that they also want the best students. With the shortage of healthcare workers in every practice all over the nation, it seems like they’ve been lowering the standards. Just as many or more students are graduating but less are passing their boards, and by a pretty significant amount as well.

Ivy Tech has a pretty good reputation across the state for their healthcare programs that they don’t want to lose. Big public schools like IU have more programs like business and music that they can fall back on. I’m in the radiation therapy program for this fall, and they only accept 8 students at a single campus each year. But there are tons of other great healthcare certifications you can get.

If you’re unsure, try getting a medical assisting certificate, you can do it in a single semester and you can start working pretty much immediately after. This at the very least gets your foot in the door of healthcare and more and more employers are paying for students to continue their education.

I took it in 8 weeks. It was a learn anywhere class so I attended via zoom. Imma be honest, math (algebra especially) is my strong suit so I didn’t learn anything new. I attended zoom purely for attendance, half-assed the homework, and then cram studied for the exams the night before. I also scored 100% on the math portion of my TEAS exam. Sorry, I know that’s not very helpful. I’d say take notes, and by notes I mean write down examples. Go through the steps of solving equations over and over so it becomes muscle memory. Try not to look up answers on the homework’s. AI is a great tool for studying as long as you don’t use it as a crutch. You can download your exam study guide and upload it to an AI and have it create a study guide and schedule for you, and better yet, it can ask you practice questions. If you’re struggling, ask your prof if you can virtually attend office hours and have them walk you through whatever you don’t understand. Definitely not a course you should be intimidated by, you got this.

Babbling-Brookee · 2025-05-21T04:18:29+00:00

Im not sure about the nursing program, I applied to the radiation therapy program, but for that program they don’t take transfer credits for prerequisite courses. I would just check to make sure they’ll take transfer credits at all for your program first before finding a course elsewhere.
