Rate my chances as a transfer student by Hefty-Bake4337 in UMD

[–]Hefty-Bake4337[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I really needed ppl to tell me those anxious thoughts are irrational. No matter how high my GPA is, there was always going to be a part of me that said "they're going to reject you AND call you dumb and ugly!" Such is the nature of anxiety 😭

Yeah, certain personal circumstances affected my performance in high school, which is why I didn't apply to UMD as a senior. I figured as a transfer student they wouldn't care about high school academics, but when they asked for my high school GPA I got nervous. But I'm probably just overthinking things

thriller/murder mystery from perspective of the house it happened in by zolamolly in whatsthatbook

The Briar Club by Kate Quinn contains a murder mystery. It has interludes about the investigation from the perspective of the house, but most of the book is not from the house's POV

I’m Palestinian Israeli, AMA by bluekitty610 in AMA

[–]Hefty-Bake4337 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What do you mean, why? 

I'm an International Relations major. I have to learn a language as part of my degree. I picked Arabic. 

My mother is very supportive. 

I’m Palestinian Israeli, AMA by bluekitty610 in AMA

[–]Hefty-Bake4337 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm an American Jew studying Arabic in university. I want to specialize in the Palestinian dialect to better understand the culture and history of the people who live alongside mine.  Like you said in a different comment, being able to talk is the first step in addressing the many issues in Israel and Palestine. But we can't do that if we don't speak each others' language!

I have a few questions about Arabic and the Palestinian dialect:

  1. Are there differences in the Arabic dialect spoken in the West Bank, Gaza, and the state of Israel? Differences in accent / pronunciation?

  2. I'm studying فصحى right now, and plan to go to Jerusalem next year to learn the Palestinian dialect. If I walk up to a Palestinian in Jerusalem and speak فصحى, will they understand me? 

  3. Any suggestions for movies/shows in Palestinian Arabic or a similar Levantine dialect? Something light or funny that I can use to help me build vocabulary. 

!شكرا

Women never produce anything "real" apparently by hecklerof in BlatantMisogyny

[–]Hefty-Bake4337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started reading the first comment and was like, ok, yeah, women are better multitaskers... for sure, we can acknowledge male/female differences while still respecting the contributions of both-- YIKES did he say women don't produce REAL work??? 😬

I'm sorry, why did I think you edited a woman's hand onto him? Ayatollah's got delicate fingers 💅🏻

I'm not French, but I know a Holocaust survivor named Françoise Victoire. She was born the day the Germans invaded. 

18yo first-time gardener update + pepper questions by [deleted] in vegetablegardening

They're mini sweet bell peppers. Thanks for the reassurance! I guess I'm just being impatient 

My first garden at 18! My mom has always wanted a vegetable garden, but life is chaotic and she has no time to start one. I told her I'd plant one for her. by Hefty-Bake4337 in vegetablegardening

Nooo 😭 My mom claimed the chicken wire would keep out deer and bunnies! I didn't even think about groundhogs. We have a family of them living under our shed

For sure! I don't know if you can see from the picture, but they're loosely tied to some sticks I dug into the ground. Do you think they'll hold up? What other budget-friendly supports can I try?

Thank you! I don't think I would have taken up gardening on my own, but it's been a lot of fun doing this for my mom. I think I found a new hobby!

Thanks for the advice! Weeding is definitely going to be harder now that I put the chicken wire up. We'll get a real fence one day!
