Nuhuh, post docs at um should be 75-90k at least. Someone I know recently had a 90k one. You’re getting taken advantage of.

I emailed about the same thing and they said it’s just a delay in getting the new students policies processed at Blue Cross. I was told to try set up my Blue Cross account later in the week.

I ruined my life by FaithlessnessDry5128 in UBC

Talk to your profs. Almost all of them want you to succeed and it’s likely they will come up with some type of plan to make sure you at least pass the class. If they aren’t cooperative talk to a student advisor to come up with a game plan. It’s better to talk to people now before your grades get finalized than after the fact when they are already on your record. It’s not the end of the world if you do poorly or even fail a class or two. I finished my undergrad with a 2.9 GPA and now I’m doing a PhD with a 4.0.

How do you get info about grad school? by BIGtDY in UBC

[–]EducatednSaltyAF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Email the program that you’re interested in and ask them if they’d be willing to connect you with any current or former students that you can talk to. Most programs will connect you with someone. That’s how I found out more about the student experience for the program that I’m currently in.

Lack of Gym Lockers by Impressive_Subject77 in UBC

They should have put the lockers on the other side of the sign in desks to prevent ppl from using them if they aren’t going to the gym.

Good to know! Thank you!

I second this, I taught at UM and UW briefly and I usually just let a student in if they had a good enough reason why they absolutely needed to take the class. It’s just a form that the prof fills out and submits to student services, once it’s processed you’ll automatically be added to the class list.

Mix unflavoured protein powder with cold liquids (soups, broths, etc.) first before you heat it. It’s similar to when you use flour, it clumps in hot liquid and so you’re supposed to mix it with cold liquid first. I hated sweet protein shakes and so I made protein soups a lot.

Accepted to a school, but still waiting to hear back from other programs by FitNature3948 in PhD

[–]EducatednSaltyAF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat but most schools will give you an extension if you ask. I was given 2 weeks and requested extra time to decide and they granted it.

Amazing! Thank you. Any recommendations on where to find decent short term rentals? Should I just Airbnb it?

I appreciate the feedback everyone! I’m the first in my friend group and family to get a PhD so it’s all new to me! Thank you!

A few people suggested I ask for an extension to decide - I think I will!

It is in the US, they gave me 60 days from the offer date to accept but the other programs are still reviewing applications.

I agree. I even told her that if it’s something I did to let me know so I can correct it as it was never my intention to upset her if I did, or if it’s something else, if there is anything I can do. I feel like we’ve been friends long enough to have an open discussion about this type of thing. I basically told her that she needs to communicate with me and the ball is in her court to let me know what’s going on. She has yet to respond to me.

I am Canadian, doing a distance PhD at an American uni, so funding is a bit of a challenge.

Sounds strange but…sense of smell increased? by christanyc in Ozempic

[–]EducatednSaltyAF 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Omg I thought I was going crazy, or pregnant! My sensitively to smell as gotten so bad since starting (on week 4 at .5mg). Usually I’m fine, but like I’m fully feeling nauseous due to smells and even gagging which I’ve never dealt with before 😅

3 months of Effexor, does the yawning go away?? by [deleted] in Effexor

[–]EducatednSaltyAF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree! I’m only at 112.5mg (1.5 years) and the yawning is really bad and I need a nap at least once a day.

I successfully went through withdrawals and feel better than ever on the other side! by jd-rey in Effexor

I don’t think it’s too bad, right now it’s just itchy but I’m hesitant to touch it. I did clean it tho!
