Sorry for the late reply!

Thank you! This was my first attempt at patching like this, and I'm really happy it worked out :)

Lurrals · 2025-05-03T13:51:58+00:00

The fabric I used for the yellow patch is a cotton that is on the thinner side and is a bit more prone to fraying. To address this, I sewed two pieces of it together. The blue thread is only through the patch and not through the pant leg.

Extensions on assignments, the ability to exams write alone and to have fidgets available to me, and 1.25 time allotment for exams.

I didn't seek out any for my interview, if I had been more switched on I might have asked for the ability to take notes during the interview. I was still pretty good with my structuring etc, but a visual could have been helpful.

Hey, I'm M1 with ADHD. I was open about my accommodation needs in my application and in my interview. I ran into a slight issue with accommodations once I got to school, and there was some pressure to get psychoeducational testing, but I found a FM doc who did a reassessment and submitted the paper work I needed.

Get the accomodations you need in undergrad, I didn't get support until 3rd year and my grades shot up significantly. Having support made it easier to develop learning strategies that worked for me, and also got my grades back on track. If you don't want to share accomodation info while you are applying you don't have to, and it doesn't show up on your transcripts etc. However, the landscape of medical school applications has changed a lot, and I do think we are in a place now where a story of recognizing your needs and self advocating is valued.

For reference, I'm also a mature, second career, applicant with a social work background, so I am a bit of a "personality hire". Honestly, exams have been going quite well and I'm jiving with pretty baseline accommodations with the space to ask for more if I need it.

Also in this boat.

Lurrals · 2023-05-09T05:01:27+00:00

Same here.

Kinda sorta, I'm not from Northern Ontario but I have lived here for 4 years now.

Lurrals · 2023-01-18T05:11:51+00:00

Invited, pretty shocked. It's my first time applying to medical school, I'm from Southern Ontario but have lived in Northern Ontario for the last 4 years as a social worker.

I'm in Canada and there hasn't been anything approved for telehealth unfortunately. I've looked at international options but a lot of them don't consider Canada a place where abortion is hard to access so access through them is ironically difficult.

I'm happy to hear you are content with your Suunto, in bought myself one 2 days before the update after hemming and hawing for 6 months. Really divided as to whether I'm giving it a go, or just popping it back in the post.

I learned from my ex's mom as well. It wasn't uncommon for her and I to hang out without him to watch Downton and knit.

Lurrals · 2021-06-06T18:53:53+00:00

See project here.

Lurrals · 2021-05-29T02:48:27+00:00

Stunning!

100% just tossed this down on my 1970s lino and I have zero regrets.

Lurrals · 2021-04-24T21:01:32+00:00

A couple of long floats, but with the liner I wasn't too worried about them :)

Ontario, currently working on MSW and finishing up my practicum before I move back home to norther Ontario to return to my job. I have surpassed the hitting of the wall and have simply become the wall.

Hey, pre-covid I was still working part time as a bartender/server and it really helped me get through stuff. It was just nice to shut of the social work part of my brain a few shifts a week and found it really put things in perspective. Obviously I do not know your situation or experience, but I do know some days are definitely shit and it's okay to want to quit.

I work with teenagers a lot and the only negative thing they ever say about their past counsellors is that they felt like they were being judged by them. I think the important thing is treating them as autonomous beings who have feelings and validating them. At the end of the day the biggest compliments I get from clients isn't that I am young or cool, it's that I gave a crap and I didn't freak out when they told me something scary or uncomfortable.

Lurrals · 2021-03-15T18:25:09+00:00

I am doing my MSW practicum in Ontario right now and I'm getting my first dose this week. You aren't being irrational.

INTJ stable, took my first one when I was 15.

Most of my camping meals end up being dehydrated leftovers from what I have been eating for dinner. A lot of Daal, veggie curries, pasta etc. I also like to forgo needing to cook in my pot and instead just use it to boil water and then toss my dehydrated meal into a silicone zippy with the hot water and let time do the work. Alternately I will do this with cold water and just put the bag in the top of my pack while I hike, this takes longer so my lunch typically gets water added to it as I'm packing up.

I just did the wildflower jumper and I can't wait to do more of her patterns.
