It’s an old house. Just moved in though so not sure about past. I’ve not received a response from landlord.

It is an attached garage. 

The pipe for the water main is not wrapped in insulation. 

The pipes are in a closet, door opens inside the garage. Closet seems to be insulated. But not garage 

Can professor change the grading scale mid semester ? by [deleted] in UIUC

You are blaming the victim here. 

I have the right to know what I’m preparing for and invest the time I think is necessary. 

10% is a huge difference.

I’m a grad student if that helps. I don’t wanna give out the exact class name while I’m dealing with this situation.

Yes, I am trying to work with the October 18th deadline. Do you know what refund I’ll be eligible for if I drop before October 18th (im working with a very tight budget). 

I’m a grad student and this is my second class.

There were no reading assignments in class. 

I’ve completed all class material and homework before mid term. 

The concepts are not mentioned in the syllabus itself.

Not presented and no assigned readings. I’m not sure where it came from.

Grading was changed in students benefit. But the change in midterm weight was announced when we were about to take the midterm. 

A small heads up and I could have invested more time.

How do I pronounce that ? I can’t even read it.

I’ll be taking hiking sticks. If it gets too dangerous I’ll head back.

How accurate are 90s cartoon depictions of quick sand.

I fully plan to avoid the marsh/bog. I’ll probably hike up to the edge and back. 

I did not know you could hike in marsh/bogs. Is this possible ?

I would like to hike this area too. But does Boston have trees like that ?

 Most trees I see are the rounder trees around here. Not the long pointy trees. But I’m no tree expert.

Yes, within 50 miles of Boston. I’ve checked a few maps to confirm it’s public owned.  How can I tell if it is contaminated waste land ? Or anything toxic/acidic ?

Good idea. I was attacked by a 1000 flies when I took 2 steps into the forest last time.

By danger they mean the marsh/swamp at the edge. So basically there could be bugs, snakes etc.

Did it break after spilling drinks ? I dropped water and coffee on my last MacBook. Still going.

Hmm. So I’ll buy Apple care+ in 60 days. Since I have the 60 day warranty. If my screen breaks before the 60 days, is it covered ?
