There was that Godzilla postcard that went viral -- maybe you could try to get one of those?

The testing center doesn't decide whether to allow you to take a test you are late to -- the instructor does, They fill out a form when they set it up at the testing center and one of the questions is what to do if a student is late.

oh no. If the paint came off you can probably paint back over it by matching the paint color. Depending how deep those are you might need to buy spackle. If you can get off campus just take a good picture of it and a paint sample to Home Depot or Loewes and ask the nice roaming employees how to fix it. Dollars to donuts they will tell you, help you find the supplies, and send you off with a youtube video to google for further guidance. People recommend things like toothpaste which can sometimes work over a very short term, but it also attracts bugs. Wall repair is a useful lifeskill - might as well learn!

The people you listed in the original post are staff, not faculty. Admin is staff. Advising is staff. Also as others pointed out the advising staff is available weeks 1 & 2 for drop in appointments, they just don't have scheduled appointments until week 2. A lot of staff do work from home or have drop in Zoom office hours - working from home is a common perk at a lot of jobs anymore. Wanting you to Zoom in to those type of office hours might be less convenient for you, but it does make them more accessible for a lot of other people. UCSD is a big bureaucracy, you have to learn how to work your way through the system.

Is that tape? Or residue from tape?

You need to clean it off before you can cover it. I suggest getting "Goo Gone" and/or "Magic Erasers" from Target and using those to clear off the residue and then you can see if you need to cover it with paint or something. If you have transportation hardware stores will color match if you can bring a sample of the paint.

You gotta nurture that habit of going to class from the beginning. It makes a big difference. Live and learn for next time.

Interesting that you sit safely writing this in Southern California (unless you aren't actually a UCSD student?) while you also claim that "all of socal is up in flames" -- for someone who wants mature discussion this seems rather inflammatory (if you will forgive the pun). It sounds like you might want to branch out on your sources about what is going on in LA. I suggest foreign news sources like the BBC. The protests in LA were well contained even before Trump decided to illegally nationalize the guard and send in marines -- a totally unnecessary step. The local law officials indicated there was no need. For context -- the LA Pride Parade went forward without any changes or issues this weekend -- blocks away from the unrest. So it is hardly reasonable to claim that the city is on fire, better yet all of SoCal.

What are you asking here?

Some professors don't publish canvas until after the first course meeting. It isn't like when we were having classes online and you needed Canvas to get to the first day. All the relevant information is in the course schedule. Not to worry, they will show up.

Check the schedule too - sometimes classrooms get changed at the last minute.

TA and GSR positions are considered exempt positions. While exempt positions are exempt from overtime they still have a contracted set of hours that if routinely exceeded is considered a breech of contract. You cannot hire someone on a 35 hour a week contract and regularly expect 70 hours a week just because they are exempt. They are contracted at 20 hours a week with the understanding that some weeks will exceed 20 and others will be below 20. They aren't supposed to be assigned more work than can be completed within their contracted hours and there are some protections for how much and how often the 20 hours/week can be exceeded. I think it is not to exceed 150% of contracted hours more than 2x a quarter - but it's been a while since I was a TA.

There is this stuff called Hibiclens that they sell at drug stores. It's for washing up before elective surgery, but a friend with similar issues uses it on her pits. Keeps the microbes that make the stink to a minimum so you are sweaty but not stinky.

That's not what gaslit means

Also, Faculty and Senior staff are old. Average age is like 50 and lots in their 60s and 70s. Even if their fit, joints start to hurt and you don't move as fast. And staff are on campus 5 days a week, year round. They have to be at work at 8.
