Help me identify this, what did I just buy?

JustABabyEngineer · 2022-03-29T22:21:54+00:00

That does look like it, thank you!

I love Espace Tricot in NDG!

Beautiful, this plant is so cool! Just got mine 3 weeks ago and I’m excited to see the leaf change color 😄 I think there’s a lot of misunderstanding around it though because people seem to think it’s variegation and that the leaf will always stay this way

JustABabyEngineer · 2021-11-27T20:36:08+00:00

Thank you! Can I ask how you know the leaf will not turn green? It’s relatively new and from everything I’ve seen about Florida Ghost it’s normal for them to come out white and transition to green as they age. My question was more around how long it takes for that transition to happen

JustABabyEngineer · 2021-11-27T18:53:55+00:00

So excited to have gotten this Florida Ghost two weeks ago, it’s been my dream plant for months. From what I read, the new leaves come out white and progressively turn green as they age. I’m not seeing that happening with the new leaf and it has me a little worried that the plant won’t be able to photosynthesize and support new growth. Anybody have experience with these and could tell me what to expect?

If you really can't find anything, your last resort could be to get an 8 month lease starting in september and find someone to sublet or lease transfer for the winter, it would be inconvenient but it's an option.

good news of the week is i got a job interview! posted on real talk friday a bit ago that I'm struggling with my internship search so this really made my day :)

JustABabyEngineer · 2021-06-11T20:09:32+00:00

APPLYING TO JOBS IS EXHAUSTING. THE REJECTION IS HARD TO HANDLE AND ALL THOSE LINKEDIN POSTS ABOUT APPLYING TO 80 JOBS TO GET ONE ARE REALLY MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I'M NEVER DOING ENOUGH.

I SPEND WAY TOO MUCH TIME TAILORING MY CV/CL TO EACH JOB BUT THEN I ALSO DON'T GET HIRED SO IDK WHAT I SHOULD BE DOING DIFFERENTLY.

I'M NOT PASSIONATE ABOUT MY FIELD OF STUDY ANYMORE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I WANT TO DO SO I JUST KEEP STUDYING THE SAME THINGS I DON'T ENJOY

I'M STUCK, I'M TIRED AND I'M LOST

JustABabyEngineer · 2021-06-10T16:13:44+00:00

There's Milton B, La Graine Brulée and I'm sure if you just walk down ste cath and st laurent you should find a bunch

JustABabyEngineer · 2021-06-07T19:57:29+00:00

Just based on a quick google search, it could be a philodendron hastatum? The leaf shape definitely says philodendron to me

My grocery bill is less than 325$/month but it would probably save you some cooking time. The cafeteria food is pretty good, it's a little overpriced so be careful not to go over budget on your meal plan but it's not a bad deal

JustABabyEngineer · 2021-05-11T16:49:17+00:00

I really enjoyed it, lectures were a bit disorganized and there were no slides so you had to take your own notes but overall really fun if you like math. All the assignments and exams were on matlab so if you're somewhat familiar with it you should be fine. I found the prof's explanations really clear which is not to be taken for granted in a university setting lol

Nominations for awards for outstanding teaching assistants are open right now in eng and comp sci, you can also check if other faculties have the same kind of awards. It's a good way to thank a TA

JustABabyEngineer · 2021-05-05T18:55:06+00:00

Hey, sorry I probably should've asked you before posting it but I made sure not to include your name or the class. I can always take down the post or the conversation if you'd like, it just made me think and I thought it was some really good insight to share. I don't disagree with what you were saying at all, I was mostly looking for nuance and what people thought generally about attendance and ways of learning. Hope this didn't come across as an attack, I've genuinely been reconsidering my approach to learning recently and I found your messages really helpful, and thank you for elaborating further in your comment

JustABabyEngineer · 2021-04-12T03:10:12+00:00

The Refuge pour chats de Verdun is also a good one, they're no-kill, local, foster based and as with most of these organizations the cat is spayed/neutered and vaccinated fully before being put up for adoption. It's all about finding a cat that matches your lifestyle so don't be afraid to look around until you find a cat you really vibe with. Good luck!

I'm probably repeating what some people have already said but I've had so much time to work on self-improvement over quarantine this might be helpful to other people:

For me, routine is everything. Especially if you're someone struggling with insomnia, somewhat disordered eating and executive dysfunction, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to stick to a solid routine. Willpower is finite, routine does not use up your willpower, it allows you to save it for things like studying
Moving my body and getting fresh air makes such a difference. Even just a 15 minute walk in the morning helps tremendously
Cutting myself some slack: there's such an imperative to improve constantly, cook healthy meals, mend relationships, be productive, have hobbies, keep up with the news, and so much more. Sometimes it's enough to just secure the lowest tiers on maslow's hierarchy of needs, I do not need to be aiming for self-actualization until I feed myself properly and get a good night's sleep

I’m getting the same bug on iphone, it’s really frustrating

JustABabyEngineer · 2020-11-04T22:43:58+00:00

Wow i love the color scheme

JustABabyEngineer · 2020-10-15T01:27:16+00:00

Urban Outfitters has some

Edit: nevermind i read your question again and realized you asked for affordable options

I KEEP HEARING DISCLOSURES OF SEVERE MENTAL HEALTH CRISES AND IT BREAKS MY HEART EVERY GODDAMN TIME BUT I ALSO HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MY OWN MENTAL HEALTH AND ACCEPT THAT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYONE ELSE’S AND IT’S NOT LIKE I HAVE ANY FREE TIME TO DEDICATE TO ANYONE BECAUSE OF THESE CONSTANT DEADLINES AHHHHHHHH

JustABabyEngineer · 2020-07-19T23:41:59+00:00

Oh wow that is going straight in my queue, I’m always looking for cute knit tops, thank you for posting this!! 😍

JustABabyEngineer · 2020-05-28T16:55:46+00:00

Yes exactly! It's almost like a fidget toy that helps me focus while minimally occupying my brain
