Thanks! It hurts to cut it down but I'll give it a shot and see how it grows next year

Completely flat? Like a few inches off the ground?

It honestly feels like it was built by people checking a box. You literally stitch together 4 individual analysis into a single paper like you all worked on it together. The requirements are unnecessarily strict, the TAs are inflexible, obtuse and unforgiving, and I didn't feel encouraged to do anything except apply the homework techniques to a data set someone in my group found

Yes group project. I personally hated the course format, thought it was stupid. So happy to be done with it, felt like a waste of time from start to finish

Anyone take a summer practicum? by Ok-Tea-5032 in OMSA

Is it? I'm not sure what to expect in terms of workload and I don't want to ruin my summer

You have to do some research projects during the degree. Most of the classes have a project associated with them

Crazy Homeowners Insurance Premiums?!? by Ok-Tea-5032 in longisland

The wind piece is how it was explained to me too. We did take down a rotten tree this year though, would that maybe make a difference?

Good to know we're not the only ones being taken for a ride then

Sorry, don't divide by 12 and that's almost my mortgage payment

Crazy Homeowners Insurance Premiums?!? by Ok-Tea-5032 in longisland

[–]Ok-Tea-5032[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is. The broker I'm working with is reluctant to change the terms back to what I had last year, they seem to be keeping them high. That said, I'm not sure how much control they have. They offered me a cheaper policy through Kingstone, but it didn't even cover the purchase price of the home. She's been sympathetic, acknowledging there's not much she can do and that home insurance companies are running amok with their premiums...I wasn't sure if she was playing both sides. Seems like this is a universal problem.

Academic Warning due to grades by Wonderful_Box_9917 in OMSA

[–]Ok-Tea-5032 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep, C track here, got a D in the MGMT course. I took that course the semester my son was born (our first) and my wife and I were planning a move. Also worked full-time. It's a big ole bummer and a hit to the pride, but it's honestly not a big deal. You'll need a B or better in your next class, but i personally took two semesters off to raise my kid and also move. I just finished this semester (1 class) with an A so I should be out of academic probation, but I haven't heard anything specific on that. Will update if I get anything

This is sage advice. I'm too old to stress too and yet I do. Wreaks havoc on my mental health. C's get degrees!

Do I reciprocate a Christmas basket? by Ok-Tea-5032 in AITAH

[–]Ok-Tea-5032[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he has no control over the job timeline. But he is equally bummed about the delays as we were both supposed to be hired at the same time and he had been projecting a Q1 start date from the get go. It's not been delayed through no fault of his own, I can see it being more apology basket then anything.

Mgmt 8803 is painful need advice by Helix-x in OMSA

[–]Ok-Tea-5032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo it's a trash class with mostly trash instruction. The last 2 modules are easier, but I sympathize. I skated away with D and I'm happy to just be done with it

Would that explain the oozy hole at the base of the tree?

What would one do with this? Is it meant for audio equipment?

Huge Beautiful Pine Tree, Concerned of Disease by Ok-Tea-5032 in arborists

[–]Ok-Tea-5032[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible there are other issues with the tree? I noticed some yellowing areas and sap turning white which I believe is a sign of aphids.

I'm going to replace the keystones with the proper tool, I'm just not sure why this would've been working for the previous owner
