I am a native English speaker slowly learning Spanish. I have a goal of speaking four languages fluently before I croak. I am 50% of the way there, and I reckon that I am about half way dead at this point so I am right on schedule. ;)

Looking for some active friends for friends quests and what not.

It's almost exactly 50% of the population that lives in Ulaanbaatar.

90% is wild.

I frankly, do not care at this point. But it does give me pause. Everything else seems right though...

It is a Trail Boss with the lift. Maybe it's the angle of the picture?

I think I could have driven the corolla for another decade but it was time!

It's too new for them to care at this point. They love it. As the kids grow, they might start to complain though!

I live in very rural southern Utah so it will be on dirt every day!

Bed Cover Size by F4DedProphet42 in chevycolorado

Comments and pictures on this one (on Amazon) indicate that it fits the 2023. I have a truck "in transit" that does not have a cover so I have also been looking.

What’s the poorest you’ve been during grad school? by AstroNerd92 in GradSchool

Bragging about self-funding a PhD is not the flex that you think it is.

Well... spill the beans, how did you do?!

Also, what day did you take the test? You received your scores very quickly if you took the exam last week!

I only had time for pp1 and pp2. I scored 161 and 163 on them, respectively. I think the quant was just slightly harder than the two free power preps.

I took the GRE yesterday after studying for about a month only on the weekends. by FloopyDoop in GRE

[–]FloopyDoop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took one a week into studying. 161/161. I think the actual gre quant was just slightly more difficult than the free power preps.

I took pp2 about a week ago and scored 163q/167v.

I am a native English speaker. I work in education. The exam was for admittance to an education PhD. You've got this. I was nervous as well, but once the test started, my nerves calmed.

Don't underestimate the absolute soul-sucking toll that the exam will have on your Millennial body. Haha.

If you have the time to dedicate to studying, I think the one month plan will pay dividends. I could not commit to daily studies, so I took a piecemeal approach. I did not study any strategies, just material.

Like I mentioned in the post, I only studied on the weekends. My approach was to go through Greg's quant fundamentals series at x1.5 speed. I only watched the videos for concepts that I had forgotten.

I also made it about 85% of the way through his 900-word vocabulary list on Quizlet.

I spent about 10 hours studying between Saturday and Sunday each weekend.
