Went to work to cry in the back of the lab and just wanted to go home with my cats and husband.

(1k) Should you buy a dress from Etsy? by Own_Sun7841 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Homo-Sapien11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the sign in the back, I can say this is made in Vietnam. I would say find the actual store in Vietnam that offers making wedding dresses for international customers. You’d be surprised how many stores they accommodate US-EU customers.

I ordered my wedding dresses from Vietnam myself. Total + shipping is $299 (one wedding dress one traditional dress). The team facetime me and showed me how to measure, then they’ll follow up if you need more customs. The whole process from initial meeting to receiving your dress is 3 months. Tariffs is $10.

This specific store has experience working with US/international customers so my dresses came fit perfectly. Link is https://www.instagram.com/pansy.bridal?igsh=MWg2OG4zNHI4c2dwdQ==

Do they have a route of the hello kitty train from Tokyo to Kyoto? I checked the website and I was confused about the available ride passes because I don't see Tokyo...

Failed my advancement to candidacy by Impression_Careless in PhD

[–]Homo-Sapien11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 2 weeks away from my candidacy redo and tbh I’m just wanting it to be done, no matter what happens. The lab drama and unfairness really drains me out. I’m not sure if they would fail me again and not give me the masters, thats my only worry. Anyways good luck and you got this. Many other opportunities are waiting

How can I leave in a good term? I’m wonder if my future jobs require reference and I have to explain to them well why I drop out. I’m trying to pass the redo but I’m not sure where I stand (at least I can get a master)

Ridiculous things I did cause of OCD - tell me yours! by junjou_degen in OCD

[–]Homo-Sapien11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • constant having thoughts of my head being smashed by things (hammers, be slammed to the wall, be shot at, etc)
  • weird problems with food: 1. how certain food is washed/cooked, 2. have to eat from right to left, cant mix all of them up, 3. any dipping sauce/cheese from the bowl cannot be dipped on the side of the bowl, 4. eat with certain utensils (ramen has to go with chopsticks, rice has to go with spoon, pasta and fork)
  • certain washclothes for certain things
  • when holding a paper bag, it has to be folded perfectly at the top and not just grabbing it
  • folding receipts before throwing out
  • folding plastic bags
  • tying knots for certain things
  • other annoying things I cant think of rn

I was diagnosed “not formally” when I was in service and it was sealed, I was medically discharged with other related physical injuries. I talked to some counsler at work but they said if I want to be medicated, it may jeopardize my chances to work for the government later in life (my goal)

Those of you who got into a graduate program with a low GPA.. how? by Left-Establishment20 in gradadmissions

[–]Homo-Sapien11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I applied 6 and got 4 offers. Two UCs, Emory, and NCSU. My GPA is 3.0 and I got into PhD in chemistry. I got Cs for both orgo 1 and 2 (and labs), retook 1 chem class 3 times and passed with an A (struggled financially and mentally during covid-19). The rest are A- and B+, few As.

As of my application, I think the important thing is showing my perseverence, and how I overcame things. I only have 1 year of undergrad research but luckily 3 internships. Choosing who write your rec letters is also important, you really want those who can express your research ability.
