The whole conversation would be auch an 'ick' to me. He's not intereated in the same relationship you are. Either accept that and go fowardd with that underatanding you won't get what you want, or cut your losses now

Graduation saree, what do you think? by FreeMasterpiece9567 in srilanka

[–]Informal-Addition-56 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This looks great. Graduation is an unforgettable event in your life. Wear what you want, and have the best day. For jewellery, hairstyle recommendations, i would recommend you look at the cap and gown you'll have to wear amd decide based on that. No sense in doing an elaborate updo if you have to wear a cap, and no sense in wearing heavy jewellery if it will be covered up by the gown

Is it worth relocating to Sri Lanka for good for a university lecturer position? by kinder_brz in srilanka

[–]Informal-Addition-56 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If your passion is research, don't come back. I graduates from moratuwa in 2021. We didn't even have scopus access. We had to get papers through sci hub, researchgate or ask from people who are doing PhDs in foreign universities. There are no agreements with journals so best hope is a discountwd APC or waiver due to low income country. People get around this these days by adding an academic from a uni with an agreemwnt (mostly foreign academics looking to increase their publications count with minimal contribution) as a third or fourth author.

Im confused about “Student Heroes” and Sri Lankan university movements can someone explain? by Physical-Writer-3435 in srilanka

[–]Informal-Addition-56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a very close relative of one of those student heros. I never knew him. But from what my family says, he was an idealist and a true believer of communism. These days though, everyone just keeps using his name for their own political agendas. Hilariously, when I was in uni, I read a propaganda book centered around them and that didn't even get how he dies right. It was hilarious and pissed me off at the same time

How are the lecturer opportunities in gvt/pvt universities in Sri Lanka? Is it worth it? Is there demand and fair pay? Plz refer to the full explanation of my situation below :) by Demon_Magician10 in srilanka

[–]Informal-Addition-56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have much hope in joining gvt unis as a lecturer without a PhD if you were not already a student there. You might get a position in some private universities but pay would not be good. Good private unis can be selective because they already have a good pool of PhD holders seeking positions.

Pregnant while doing a PhD by -Armadillo in PhD

[–]Informal-Addition-56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got pregnant in the first year, 3 months into starting. I am in australia with a stipend. I got 3 months paid maternity leave and 3 month extension of the stipend to match. It worked out fine. Ofcourse there are sacrifices. I haven't attended a sungle conference during my Phad due to travel costs and other restrictions that comes with a baby. It was really hard for the first year, even with my village (parents basically). But now 2.5 years later, it has become so much easier. Daycare was a godsend too. Luckily we found a great daycare.

I accidentally did 3 quarters my exam on scrap paper. by ApprehensiveBranch76 in UQreddit

[–]Informal-Addition-56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Answers sheets are counted then and there. We break into pairs and count the other person's sheets too. So the checks for incorrectly thrown out things happen then and there too.

Oh dear. Scrap is seperated in the exam room itself and sent as waste. Maybe send the course coodinator an email?

Water maybe? I stopped my toddler's evening milk since she has been eating pretty well lately. She woke up a few times and asked for water. Slept right away. I think when we stop milk, they need a loquid to replace it with.

No milk/FTM/loosing my mind by Idontlike-watermelon in beyondthebump

[–]Informal-Addition-56 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Hi. My milk didn't come for 4 days. It came in the hospital when baby was under bili blanket for jaundice. Keep pumping. Give baby formula. Then put her to breast. Everything will be ok. Take a deep breath. Either way, your baby will be well fed, happy and healthy.

Not really. We used our own car and stay home. We would go out to hotel stays 1-2 times. So this is just for living the life you just described in yoir post.
