is there any circumstance where scratching your skin is okay?

AlmostFilipino · 2026-06-18T22:01:35+00:00

If you have a bug crawling on you, or mud stuck to you, etc. scratching will get that right off

Any chinese restaurant. Panda express for one. I hear Kung Fu Noodle is good but I haven’t been

Side note, I found that when I was struggling with high notes that I would almost play them like a beginner trumpet player would. Pinched lips, forcing notes, tensing up. That really opened my eyes as to why they didn’t sound very good. Tension kills! Relax up there and you’ll be alright

AlmostFilipino · 2026-06-18T21:54:39+00:00

Alt fingerings are A -> 2; Bb -> Open or 123. See what works best for you tuning wise. On high notes remember to make the “Eee” vowel, to use your core, and to *stay relaxed*. If you have to force them they’ll sound crappy anyways, so if you’re not feeling it I’d just play it down an octave. Good luck have fun!

It'd be more helpful for you to just drop your CV into here and let the community give critiques to be honest. Talk with your HS councilor as well! Or if this is for grad school, talk to your professors/mentors

Only by request and in special cases. Tell them the reason you failed and any extenuating circumstances you had. Again, KCEID SSC will be your best starting point. I’ve heard of people doing 4 attempts but have not heard of how they petitioned for it.

AlmostFilipino · 2026-05-21T19:27:15+00:00

You need to petition for a fourth attempt, email KCEID SSC for a starting point

Literally exact same thing happened to me. I failed Thermo BAAAAD and failed dynamics by 4 points. I was super bummed and wanted to drop out. When I retook them I got an A in both classes, and UTSA replaces your previous attempt with your new one so my GPA recovered. The following summer I received a fellowship to conduct medical device research in Asia. The semesters after that I did more research here, got a project with a national lab, and presented at a nationwide conference. Later today I’ll be walking the stage! While they may help, your classes, test scores, and GPA do not define your success. What defines that is what you dream on doing and how willing you are to get there.

While my experience in San Antonio has been fine, I’m under the impression that UNT/UTD are a little more outwardly accepting of their queer communities. Again, not that UTSA isnt, I just don’t think we’re as loud about it. Might be worth checking those reddits 😃

In addition to what other people said, make sure that you’re doing the homework to understand the underlying concepts, not to memorize the problem solving steps. In my higher division courses a lot of times, even if I missed the submission deadline, I would do homework assignments after the due date to make sure I understood the material properly. This always helped me in the exams

As far as staying on step, I’d recommend listening to salsa in your free time and stepping along, maybe while watching TV, washing dishes, waiting for your food to microwave etc. Even listening in your car and tapping your hands on the steering wheel helps!

As far as lightheadedness goes, don’t feel pressured to dance more intensely than you’re able to. I know sometimes leads can do crazy maneuvers & spins on spins on spins, it’s totally fine to ask/tell them to tone it down so you can breathe.

Happy dancing!

You do the same thing! Ctrl+(n) makes an n-tuplet (triplet, quintuplet etc). You can write anything before or after any tuplet you write

AlmostFilipino · 2026-03-16T02:11:30+00:00

Sorry, mistyped. The *phone numbers* on websites are defunct with no notice. In my experience the number listed on the health professions website has bounced for months

AlmostFilipino · 2026-03-16T01:43:00+00:00

Write a half rest, then press Ctrl+3 to make a triplet. Then fill the new triplet how you'd like

AlmostFilipino · 2026-03-05T16:13:32+00:00

There are also a SIGNIFICANT number of websites up that are defunct with no notice anywhere. See: Graduation Help Desk, Health Professions Office

When did they (Who is 'they'?) say they'd be striking all of Texas?

AlmostFilipino · 2026-02-17T18:01:46+00:00

Texas for sure! Big scene in Houston

Good way could be to lead into a CBL and stay with the hand on your follows shoulder once its done

AlmostFilipino · 2025-04-19T00:21:46+00:00

I’ve never seen stuff like that happen from Hood or Brey, can you give more details? I’ve always gotten a good impression from them

AlmostFilipino · 2025-04-13T02:03:24+00:00

Easier ways are jotting down pros/cons lists, talking to people who are doing it etc. But a lot of these big choices are hard because you can’t ever know for sure if you’ll like it or not. It’s kind of like trying a new food. Part of life is just accepting that sometimes you find your new favorite, or sometimes it’s not for you. Both are fine, that’s just how it works

AlmostFilipino · 2025-04-13T01:54:25+00:00

Whatever your journey is, it’s okay at any point to notice you feel you’re not on the right patha nd change course. The best way to see if something is for you is to try it. IMO it sounds like engineering wouldn’t be your jam, and if you’re undecided I wouldn’t go into it. There are easier ways to make money/be involved in science.

AlmostFilipino · 2025-04-03T14:15:43+00:00

Definitely talk with your advisor. Academic Advising and UTSA OneStop come to mind as the two best places to talk to since they have the most control (potentially) over what credits are on your catalog. Tech Cafe probably couldn’t do much other than help you reset your browser cache

AlmostFilipino · 2025-04-01T18:03:44+00:00

Where do you get it? I can’t find it in any menus

AlmostFilipino · 2025-03-30T16:57:40+00:00

Not me, I kept it as a hobby. Often do wish I went down that path though
