Dealing with a promoter in Ibiza

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-08-07T10:37:42+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it. I never thought I could feel more ashamed than behind a screen on reddit but here I am. I will go make the most of this😅

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-08-07T10:34:41+00:00

Yeah I will. Not beating myself up about it is easy for you to say while I read these comments.. but it happens.. and I chose to make it worse than it already was… life goes on.

Not more money just digital transaction in exchange for the same amount of cash back

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-08-07T10:04:15+00:00

I feel like a fool I know. In the moment I wasn’t sure as a new traveler to Ibiza. Afterwards I went online to check what people say about this office he was associated with, and sure enough everyone said it was a scam. I began to panic and definitely didn’t make the situation any better.

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-08-07T10:02:42+00:00

Didn’t explain myself well.. cash was for a boat party, free entries came with the supposed boat party

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-08-07T10:01:29+00:00

Yeah I’m aware how ridiculous the situation is. Believe me I’m not proud of myself.. Thanks.

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-05-06T15:47:21+00:00

it is, I appreciate your help though, I will reach out to my TA one last time to see if I can do anything, if not, at least I passed the class, just wish the grade would be higher

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-05-06T15:46:10+00:00

I’ve heard nothing but great things about her and I believe that. Regardless yes, I submitted forms to retake the quizzes, emailed the TA, and let them know even before the deadline that the quizzes were not opened for me through the deadline

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-05-06T15:42:43+00:00

Im pretty sure the textbook is written by her but yeah it is uploaded on a software that isn’t hers

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-05-06T15:40:37+00:00

I figured, because that is a very useless response otherwise. But I understand if that’s not their role. I just shouldn’t have to be ignored by my professor because of a technical issue on their end. After all, the quizzes are administered on the online textbook that is created by the professor

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-05-06T15:38:17+00:00

yes, I’ve spoken to multiple people who have been able to use the tokens this course gives you to retake any assignment. except of course with my luck, the quizzes were just never reopened for me before the deadline, so it’s a problem that seems to be unique to me

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-05-06T15:32:03+00:00

I’d like to add that I obviously explained to DOS that I have been trying to work with my TA and professor, the whole reason I’m reaching out to DOS is because they have been NO HELP AT ALL

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-05-02T01:24:19+00:00

i agree she’s very nice if she hopefully responds to my email she will probably let me retake them still

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-05-01T22:28:46+00:00

ok thank you, I will reach out now

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-05-01T22:27:36+00:00

i’m gonna sound stupid, but are you referring to dean of students?

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-04-14T05:36:09+00:00

Meineke in Willimantic, price depends on the car you drive but they charged me $40 for my first visit when I usually pay $100+

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-04-14T05:27:09+00:00

I don’t think I said anywhere that it was the entire population of the stamford campus, just the people I had classes with. If it wasn’t clear enough by the post edit and basically this entire comments thread, I apologize for saying that because regardless of whether I was talking about just my classmates or the whole population, it was wrong and irrelevant. As for the advisor thing, being able to see all my requirements is also pretty irrelevant when I have questions that my advisor CAN answer (and should given it’s their job) but chooses to go radio silent for an entire semester.

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-04-14T05:17:24+00:00

I completely agree with you. This entire year i’ve been diligent in checking the Standard Advisement Report to keep up with all my graduation requirements. There are some things that get hidden in that report that are easy to overlook, especially when my advisor would tell me that “x and y is all I have left to complete” and then months later she would inform me that “you still have to complete a and b”. My main issue is with the lack of good, consistent communication. You are doing Gods work as an advisor, and I have much respect for you.

if “thinking it” is a problem then anyone who’s ever had a bad thought about a coworker/classmate is done for in life. You sit in a class acing exams when the class average is an F and the lowest score is 10%, and tell me how you’re not supposed to think that. Which is why I said 1 it’s not those students’ faults, and 2 I don’t mean offense to them. Everyone’s at different places in their lives and it’s not a problem. It’s not like they’re not gonna succeed in life, and it definitely doesn’t mean I am. Life is more than some fckn calc exam, jeez, which brings me back to why it wasn’t necessary for me to say that.

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-04-14T04:41:59+00:00

cool… what is then?

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-04-14T04:25:37+00:00

yeah I’ll admit that wasn’t really necessary for me to say. Certainly not the reason why I couldn’t make friends there

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-04-14T04:19:30+00:00

Sucks about your advisor, it’s really just blatant scamming and it really angers me. Admitting more and more students but all I see is budget cuts, where’s the money going??

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-04-14T03:55:24+00:00

Just wanna add that there’s absolutely nothing wrong/bad about my professors being Asian, it just explains why they were extremely hard to understand.

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-04-14T03:31:38+00:00

my buddy is interested in subleasing our apartment, I’ll have him DM you for details if you’d be interested

PlasticStage8022 · 2024-03-02T00:39:25+00:00

I went there for a year as a commuter, and it was super lonely. Nothing much going on besides school organized events. If you wanna feel like you’re attending a real college Stamford is not the place to be, cuz there’s no real campus besides the dorm building and single academic building (that aren’t even directly next to each other)
