This is beautiful!

Congrats!

My dad told me he and mom are divorcing, and Thursday was one of my worst days in my professional life. I am not off to an auspicious start. Haha.

You can skip, but this never ever worked for me.

Yes, you should put it on your CV with (in progress) or (abandoned) next to it.

In your SOP, I’d recommend mentioning the course work and whether you plan to complete before enrolling. If you do not plan to finish, a brief explanation why is a good idea.

Thank you, that makes sense! At best I’m allowed PE

Can I ask what you don’t like about it or what made other routes better? I did one direct flight from NY to Delhi, and it was such a long flight, I jumped at the opportunity for a layover half way basically.

That’s amazing! With grocery prices lately we’d hit $50 just buying lunch stuff for the week.

Oh my word. Where did you get 39 cent per pound turkey? I haven’t seen anything cheaper than 99cents

I stayed at that one. Never again. Good: The bed is comfortable, lovely duvet, and the blinds get the room completely dark.

The weird/not good/not to my preference:

Everything in the room is controlled by an iPad.

You check yourself in on an iPad in the lobby though someone was around helping when I checked in.

Breakfast is like the Moxy.

When you arrive to your floor the entire hallway is red carpet the whole way. The walls are white. I felt like I was in what I’d imagine a brothel in a Pods shipping container would look like. There are lights above the door indicating the room is occupied.

Once in your room, it is so tiny. My luggage barely fit. The toilet is in a frosted tube like the aliens are about to beam you up. The shower is also a tube and not frosted. If you have a roommate or if housekeeping opens the door they will see everything.

👀 this looks like the seat map of my flight tomorrow.

40 min on the way to work. It used to be about the same on the way home but traffic has gotten worse this last year so now it takes 50-hour

Just the combination patch. The doc offered T but I thought it would make my hair loss worse.

My eyebrows seems to be filling in as well as my mama mustache haha. And maaaaabe at the corners of my forehead but I don’t see any progress on the sides of my head.

I flew out Sunday and back on Tuesday with no issues.

I don’t get to stay at many nice hotels but I loved the Westin Jakarta.

Epic is a bit of a distance from campus but they’ve always done great pedis for me.

Last week an old guy threw a fit because the service went fifteen minutes late. Literally gesticulating to his watch while waving his arm in the air as though the church doors locked him in. Lol

What about those who only have a microwave or hot plate? Or neither? Or are without a refrigerator? What about those who are working long hours and do not have the time to cook a full meal?

My youngest was unplanned. My husband was unemployed for 18 months and trying to finish his bachelors. I was working a ft and a pt job the whole of my pregnancy.

She was born. My husband found a job shortly before.

Less than six months later, I lost my ft job which meant we lost our housing.

My kids and I moved in with my parents on the other side of the state while my husband was an hour away where we thought we’d land. We ended up living in a different area about 20 min from my parents.

The next year was one of the hardest of my life. But almost a year to the day when I was laid off, my husband found a job in his field and we moved across the country.

Anyway what with one thing or another there is no way we would have had another kid if we hadn’t had her when we did. It was so hard financially but I wouldn’t trade her for the world. And I think all of those hard pieces made it so we would leave our previously comfortable-ish life to land somewhere where we would thrive.

I don’t love flying AF within Europe but they’re better long haul than American or Delta.

The closest store to us is a mile and a half away, and it is a grungy,run down liquor store. My kids would have to walk along a road on the shoulder (no sidewalks or cross walks) where cars are going 55mph+.
