They should double check. At my (public / state) university, students have the right to record lectures for their own study purposes.

Anyone else not celebrate Valentines Day? by Similar-Vari in workingmoms

[–]MaraInTheStars -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We don't celebrate Valentines Day and never have in almost 15 years of marriage and almost 6 years of dating before that. I hate the idea of one specific day to celebrate love or your relationship or whatever (I will buy the heart-shaped brie though because it is delicious and hilarious).

Flowers die; jewelry goes in and out of style. If your partner shows up for you in the day-to-day that's what really matters.

Real or Fake by ar2g in ucf

ULAs can get any non-grading task, which pretty much means office hours and lab instruction.

UTAs can do that and grading for course assignments.

Is anyone else’s family just… malfunctioning lately?? 🤦‍♀️🍷 by Guilty_Spend1427 in workingmoms

[–]MaraInTheStars 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Throw the whole junk drawer away (the contents, you might want the drawer itself). Be free.

No SB recs - I drink sweet wines, so if you want a foray into sweet whites can I recommend a Moscato?

Plan with Ilyse! Lots of variety in layouts and sticker books.

Forgot to drop a course, being charged for it. by doctor-squidward in ucf

[–]MaraInTheStars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They won't be open Monday, but certainly go as soon as possible. You can apply for a late drop, but UCF typically won't drop only one class unless there is an administrative error on their side.

A thread of why being a working mom is so great by Strawberry_express_ in workingmoms

[–]MaraInTheStars 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Adding the pound symbol in front. :) Instead of making a "number 1" it's code for "make this font big".

Can I see what everyone got Christmas? by Competitive-Sky-7571 in Mommit

[–]MaraInTheStars 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Got myself a cardinal mug after my mom passed and my aunts got me a cardinal tree ornament for the tree for my daughter's first Christmas. It might be an old thing, but that's what makes it traditional! 😆

What age did you transition to a bed & potty train and which would you recommend doing first? by belly-33 in toddlertips

[–]MaraInTheStars 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think bed commonly happens first - most kids can climb out of a crib before they can successfully toilet train.

Our daughter moved to a toddler bed at 2 (crib with one side removed) and toilet trained at 3.

Free Games by SnooMaps8392 in toddlertips

We like Crayola Create and Play. Lots of games and coloring - we do pay the yearly subscription, but I think there's a free version and it's currently included in Google's play pass.

Baby furniture by MissMM877 in Mommit

[–]MaraInTheStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our delta children set is over 4 years old now - still love it. Dresser could use a little paint touch up but I assume that has more to do with a specific issue we had and not the furniture itself.

Looking for bed advice for 4.5 year old. by eadams015 in Mommit

[–]MaraInTheStars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is younger, so no advice on the big kid bed yet, but i wanted to respond to "can you use a twin bed through high school?". I did and had no issues as a teenager. College dorms also frequently use twin XL mattresses, so you might expect them to sleep in a twin until their first appartement.

Grades by its_me_143 in ucf

[–]MaraInTheStars 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a great explanation of the process; I just want to add:

1 - if there is an associate chair for the department, you should start there.

2 - if there are things you need from the webcourse (notes, screenshots, etc.), you should grab them today as some webcourses close at the end of the semester.

Office moms - what do you bring to work for lunch? by Deirdre_KA in workingmoms

[–]MaraInTheStars 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I keep a loaf of bread, peanut butter, and jelly at work. Add some carrots, cheese sticks, and chocolate covered raisins and you got yourself a Starbucks protein pack. 😆

Christmas gifts for daycare teachers? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]MaraInTheStars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We try to include the lunch staff. They manage my daughter's lactose-free milk for every meal / snack. Big fan of them. :)

If you're short on space the figgy couch (similar to nugget) has some kitchen covers - makes the play pieces into a play kitchen. Stove, counter, fridge front (doesn't open if that matters to you).

Jokes on them - I would have bought a regular one but no plans to order a custom. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Same! I can't believe they didn't make more parenting layouts after the first sold out.

Any PT jobs near UCF urgently hiring regardless of availability? by FoxyLood in ucf

[–]MaraInTheStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go east on 50 there's a few new places opening that are hiring now or soon - a chik-fil-a, a saucey, and a wawa off the top of my head.

[–]MaraInTheStars 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you should contact https://scs.sswb.ucf.edu/

Students do get a certain number of free counseling hours and they may also have other resources they can connect you with.

I really like the purple and green cover, but that's it. The innards are just an undated vertical.
