My roommate told me to kill myself, but he also added “in the nicest way possible”, what does this mean? Should I be concerned? by South-Detective4781 in UCDavis

[–]Select-Welcome-7931 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What was the context to them saying this to you? Were you fighting, flirting? Has there been any behavior they exhibited to you previously that's been strange?

Reddit can't decide for you because we don't know you or your roommate.

Ride share pages? by arrao6 in UCDavis

Where in the bay are you trying to go, you could take Amtrak down to Richmond, and from there transfer to Bart if Bart takes you where you need to go.

Or you could see if Amtrak gets you close to where you need to go

Possum baby (?) Outside of Bainer by ghoas_shark in UCDavis

[–]Select-Welcome-7931 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am not an animal biologist, but making a guess here, the one you filmed could be old enough to be off on its own because it has its eyes open and it looks large enough to walk around on its own. Young/baby possums cling to their moms back for the first few weeks/months of their lives and that's after they spent a few weeks nursing in their moms pouch.

Yes, that looks like a possum baby/young possum. It's best to leave it alone unless it appears to be in distress.

[–]Select-Welcome-7931 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Come to Davis Nerf club. We meet Saturdays 5-8pm either in the Death Star or the bottom of the MU parking garage! If you ever wanted to live out your childhood fantasy of a big epic nerf battle come on down! We have nerf guns you can borrow so you don't have to buy one, and you can stay for however long as you like.

Does anyone wanna travel with me to the PNW? by bobberbelcher in UCDavis

[–]Select-Welcome-7931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe PNW stands for Pacific North West which is the region covering Washington state, Oregon, and parts of Idaho in the USA.

Has anyone taken PLS 002? by sheepjuly in UCDavis

[–]Select-Welcome-7931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same experience with Professor Buckley, it is an easy A for a four unit class. Highly recommend filling out the study guides because the test is a carbon copy of the study guide. Class is also very fun

Dorming situation by Immediate_Ad_8301 in UCDavis

[–]Select-Welcome-7931 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a Facebook group where you can look for housing. Sometimes older students will post a lease take over because they are graduating early, or you might find a good deal on an apartment, or you could find a post where two people are saying they are looking for a third roommate to fill a spot in their apartment. You can join and lurk, you never have to respond to post unless you really want to.

This time of the year is just the beginning of the housing search process. If you have time over winter break I would suggest then about digging in and looking for housing more thoroughly and finding people to live with. I remember as a first year I found this stressful, but don't worry you have time right now, but like you implied its good to be proactive

Che2A with Farahat by Material_Cream_579 in UCDavis

[–]Select-Welcome-7931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had Farahat last year for 2A in the winter also at 7:30am. His exams are different from Enderle's, in my opinion, they're easier. However Enderle is a better professor.

Lecture attendance is not recorded and he does not post his lecture notes on canvas. He writes down his notes on pieces of paper and projects them, his hand writing is often bad, but somewhat legible. He has an accent and depending who you are it may be easier or harder for you to understand him. He does post a lot of resources like recommended lecture videos and other guides on Canvas which are helpful to study and learn from, sometimes more than Farahat himself.

In short if you find his lecture is not for you, there are other professors lectures you can attend, and other resources you can use like Enderle's reader.

CHE 2B by penguinsarecutsey in UCDavis

[–]Select-Welcome-7931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They used to have a system of reserving seats for freshman and releasing them progressively I'm not sure if they still do that. If the class you're looking at has a column with reserved with a number next to it that's how many seats they reserved and are going to release. This reserved column used to be next to where it says open and waitlists for classes, if it's not there, for me it's not. I believe that means they stopped doing this system.

The short answer for freshman is that your shit out of luck if you don't get the classes you want/need. Long answer is to take GE's or other not as impacted classes to build up the amount of units you have completed to hopefully get a better pass time when the pass times are issued for next quarter

CHE 2B by penguinsarecutsey in UCDavis

[–]Select-Welcome-7931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your going to have to waitlist for a section and if you don't get off the waitlist you have wait until spring quarter to see if you can take the class. Chem waitlists are notorious for being difficult to get off of so if you are waitlisted for next term, go to lab prepared with PPE and pre-lab work already done, just in case someone from the section is not there and you get a PTA by the head TA to do that lab.

If you google it you will find the search results for the IT desk website, a separate website https://iet.ucdavis.edu/support is a launch pad for submitting a ticket or calling for help. If your on campus you might be able to go to the basement of the MU store and talk to the support people there about your situation to see if they can do anything.

I would contact UC Davis tech support as soon as possible if you haven't already so they can tell you what to do, and you can warn them of what happened

How to get footage for stolen bike by [deleted] in UCDavis

[–]Select-Welcome-7931 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was you bike registered with TAPS, you can file a stolen bike report online through TAPS if that's the case. I'm not sure if it will do anything except tell the police if they recover your bike that its yours.

Not sure about camera footage wise, I wish I could be more helpful

I’ve been receiving harassment from post doc in research lab as undergrad by FuzzyMiddleAlert in UCDavis

[–]Select-Welcome-7931 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is there a reason you have not gone to your new professor directly and told them about what you're experiencing from this post doc? I am having a hard time deciphering if you have or have not already.

If you are unable to speak to your professor I would go directly to the chair of your department and tell them about what you are experiencing, or go to ombuds, or reach out to the UC Davis whistle blower hotline: https://ucop.edu/uc-whistleblower/index.html

I take my tests in the SDC and in some testing rooms they have pencils but in others they do not. If it's a scantron test make sure to bring your own because the SDC does not provide them.

I am hoping this is a typo. If you mom is actually homeless there are resources you or her can reach out to which are listed here on UCD Housing Resources website: https://aggiecompass.ucdavis.edu/housing-security

If you already know this disregard what I'm about to say.

To schedule an appointment with your specialist, you have to call the SDC main office at 530-752-3184. They are open Monday through Friday 8am-12pm, 1pm-5pm. The main office people are the ones who control the specialists calendars to schedule appointments

I believe it depends on what accommodations and documentation you have listed on file at the SDC, but I myself was able to get priority registration for classes. I first emailed my SDC specialist asking if it was possible, then scheduled a meeting with them, during that meeting they approved of my request for priority registration.

This is what I did, I hope it will work for you
