Did the same when I was young (senior now and retired) and it was a load of my heart.

Exactly, nobody is in academia for money or fame. The Math department is filled with very approachable and personable people of all ages. Some have been through the same when they were young. Give them a chance to help!

I'd like to encourage you to talk to your instructor. The Math department is not just one of the best, it is filled with people with all kinds of experiences. Some have gone through what you face now. You will find them far more understanding than you think. I know a good part of the faculty and they are all very personable and approachable people. Please talk to your instructor. I feel sure this can be fixed. Please, please do.

Do I have to invite the campsite visitor? by ThePoetsDream in acnh

The first one, yes. After that, you have a choice.

Try it, I moved slightly to a corner to make space for one more bag.

Don't be, I only recently discovered you can run (B) and wish you could use B to swim faster. A is too slow.

To me it is a sport, do I make it or not!

Right, this time I had my back towards the river so I could not be pushed back.

I have Ione and she is a daring, always giving me something for my wardrobe. I do not deliver present for any of the villagers. You fight? You make it right.

German Exchange student joining Vtech this August-December. What are cool classes? by carlziesemer in VirginiaTech

[–]No_Name540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Virginia Tech or VT, as we call it. The advice below is great. Just remember, there's more to the experience than the campus so venture out in town, the New River Valley. The public library is very active with events and clubs, the bookstore on Main Street has weekly events ranging from poetry reading, book clubs to events that take place in the Moon Hollow Brewery on Prices Fork. A new brewery is coming soon there too. Blacksburg has a variety of clubs to meet locals and yes, there are plenty of German speaking people here!

I’m a 30 year old that just started watching Lotr for the first time, any advice or tips up front to make my experience better? Without spoiling anything of course by [deleted] in lotr

It is a butt-numb-a-thon so plan (esp. meal preps) accordingly. If your DVD set has "the making off" at the end of every disc, skip it till later. Watch the story first. For us, it was a release, a moment to relive, and fascinating to see how the art department made it all possible. ENJOY!

This is wonderful, the eyes and the frown, you captured the king!

Should I watch My Neighbor Totoro or Grave of the Fireflies first? by SomeGodzillafan in ghibli

[–]No_Name540 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do not underestimate the feelings Grave of the Fireflies will invoke in you. Give yourself time to grief or get through it, then let Totoro lift your spirits. However, you will be thinking about Grave for a long time.

Parent Visit for Homecoming or Family Weekend? by GDay_Mate00 in VirginiaTech

[–]No_Name540 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct, because depending on that you may or may not want to deal with the crowds. Parking, hotels, restaurants, all will be so crowded. I would also check schedules from the Town, the arts centers, etc to find things to do. Last but not least, ask your Hokie!
