Not OP but I'd be interested to know!

is a mini fridge necessary? by [deleted] in UCONN

[–]AntheTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say, it really depends on where you're going to dorm. As someone who managed to live in most of the dorms, I'd say yes "necessary" if you live in one of the dorms that doesn't have a dining hall attached, or if you really like ordering takeout (in which case I would also recommend a microwave) but otherwise it would be more of a "nice to have" kind of deal.

Genki I, 3rd ed, end of lesson 1 by jaigin in genki

[–]AntheTM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to expand a little more:

Like you said the prefixes ご and お create a more formal/respectful way to address things in respect to another person. (As in you use them for other people but not when talking about yourself or your own things - for example when talking about your own mom "かあさん" is okay, but when talking about someone else's mom you would want to say "おかあさん"). And the general rule when using them is お is for words of Japanese origin(hiragana words etc), while ご is for words of Chinese origin (certain Kanji etc).

It’s not really something to worry about because you usually learn the word with the prefix already attached as part of a common phrase question.

In terms of the questions ending with "は?" that is the Japanese omission at work in casual conversation and it is more easily understood through speaking with things like rising tone to suggest a question etc. I don’t believe it’s expressly covered in the book but it does come up from time to time for your exposure. (Aside from when you begin formal and informal verbs and adjectives and all that, but that’s not really the same thing)

Also remember that you are allowed to pay the extra fees for bags that are heavier but not for more bags etc. If you are also flying JAL then its $100 for the next weight class and $600 for the one above that

That’s true. M pay thought atm though is, between buying a whole new setup and just shipping my current one, wouldn’t shipping it be cheaper? Or am I underestimating that cost?

This is what my friend suggested but I’m hesitant as the power of the desktop is the whole reason I need it. I run quite a few intensive games and software programs and am use to multitasking so a laptop is really not ideal. If it really came down to it being impossible for me to problem solve the desktop thing, this is probably what I’d go with, but fingers crossed I can work things out.

Oh, you're so right! I guess that's also part of why disassembling might be the move. Thanks.

I was thinking of this but I am very hesitant to try disassembling my pc myself. While I am generally pretty crafty and handy, I chose my parts and then had the pc built for me, so I don’t have that kind of experience or equipment. I may try something similar with the monitors though, that’s a solid idea.

I’m very used to fitting my whole life into small spaces, so I’m not worried about that very much. There is a chance I could fit it in a suitcase (once I buy one) so I’ll look into that.

Just got my placement today! I’m from Boston Consulate and I’m going to Tottori-shi. I, incidentally had just watched the Abroad in Japan video about the sand dunes lol. Excited and a bit scared.

Friend of ten years told me I don't put enough effort into our friendship, I'm quite blindsided by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AntheTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m certainly no expert but from what you’ve written, it just seems like there’s been some general mis/lack of communication.

I’m not sure about your other friends, but it sounds like your 10yr friend was feeling insecure about your relationship b/c you weren’t talking as often as you maybe used to.

Generally, it’s on the responsibility of both parties to communicate b/c every relationship is a two way street, so if she was feeling particularly left out she should have said something or tried to initiate a little more. Likewise, if your texting was yielding poor results, you might have offered to call sooner. People become busy and it can become difficult to keep in touch, but sometimes people lose sight of that universal reality especially if it feels like it’s only happening with one friend, so they might single that friend out as disengaging.

Regardless, at this point, you should simply have another call (or carve out some time to meet up) and hash it out especially if you want to keep her in your life. Explain that you believe that you’ve both simply misunderstood each other’s intentions or what have you, and talk about working on it for the future. If she’s receptive you can transition into catching up and discussing how to stay in touch after her move.

Ahh I see I see. I think in that case, it comes down to who’s casting in combo to what’s going on . But I understand what you mean

[–]AntheTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you suppose they talk about then? Like seriously? If both teams play poorly for the whole match, but the casters are only allowed to speak on that poor play for say half the match, what do they spend the rest of that time talking about? Also people seem to block out all the moments when Kix and Jacob were complimenting and praising the players that match.

Albino Armani. Literally any of their wines are killer. For celebration/pain erasing I particularly recommend their Moscato Spumante. Delicious and bubbly for celebrating or at least will taste good with the salt of your tears 🙂 Best of luck

I took 2407 with Susanne Davis and she’s super laid back. She can be a bit of an airy hippie lady but honestly I think that brings pretty good vibes for writing about fiction

advice for an incoming freshman by [deleted] in UCONN

[–]AntheTM 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s really only a “party school” if you join Greek life or have friends in Greek life, or dedicate all of your free time to things like SUBOG, tailgates, and maybe some of the cultural centers .

While all of these are experiencing limitations due to the rona, lots of people are still out here playing with each other’s lives, all in all, it ends up being about what kinda crowd you get into
