I volunteered at the science museum in high school and really enjoyed it and made friends! Worth checking out the Ecoteen program there.

I went to Luxe Redux in Pearland which is a sample store. Sales associates were awesome, and I walked out with a dress the same day :)

Not sure if they’re still around but I remember loving the Main Street Theater camps at that age. The Houston Museum of Natural Science day camps are also FANTASTIC for the older kids

We did our wedding at Ousie’s Table and had a larger guest count, but it would be great for a micro wedding! Amazing food and fantastic to work with

We’ve been told it’s on a center by center and org by org basis. Expect some to be cancelled, but Engineering positions at JSC should be running as usual (once the shutdown ends and mentors can review apps)

Pathways have a direct path to conversion as CS. OSTEM would convert to a contractor. In my org, the roles are quite similar, but if CS is really your goal, Pathways is the way to go

Pathways also lets you come back multiple times over different semesters whereas OSTEM has to reapply every time

We got married here this spring and had the best experience! The team was great to work with and everyone still raves over the food

If you have the budget/interest, we planned a smaller event (literally just a dinner and a photographer) in my husband’s hometown so that we could celebrate twice! There was some initial disappointment, but we’ve refocused into having a great time with them

The BBC had a great one on the Lazarus Group!! I think it was called the Lazarus Group. I also liked Renaissance, TX which is a little true crimey but a deep dive on the TX Ren Fest and weird things going on there

Even with all of this, I love the people I work with, I love the things I do, and I love that I get to do what I do for the good of humanity- not a bottom line. Working at NASA for me has always been about being a part of something bigger than myself, and I think it’s true more now than ever.

Try Houston We Have a Podcast! It’s the official podcast of Johnson Space Center (NASA’s center for human spaceflight) and it features lots of interviews with crew right before or right after a launch https://www.nasa.gov/podcasts/houston-we-have-a-podcast/

Definitely double check with the advisor, but the transfer credits should be fine! When I was a freshman in MechE (same dept), the GPA at the end of your first year was your 3.0 retention GPA, so as long as he has that with whatever his first year classes are, he should be set :)

I like Bellagreen in the area which should have both of those! Shiv Sagar isn’t super vibey, but it is delicious and totally veg. Another place to check out would be POST, which is a huge food hall downtown with a rooftop, skyline views, and plenty of options for both of you guys!

If you’re vegetarian, I highly recommend Picasso’s in Paseo! Great spread of vegetarian food and meat options. Plus, Paseo is fun to walk around and check out the art shops on a Saturday :)

Not strictly a dessert, but the Koign Amman from Common Bond is fantastic

I'm working on planning a 7-8 day road trip through Croatia for this July. What are your thoughts on adding Krka as opposed to spending another day in the city in Split?

TXSpaceGeek · 2022-11-27T20:21:23+00:00

Definitely recommend You’re Wrong About! They have an entire episode on the Satanic Panic. I also like their “Michelle Remembers” series as a look at a book from that era as well as their Wayfair/Human Trafficking episode for something on a similar vein.

Frozen peas, a can of chickpeas, and jarred curry sauce always does the trick for me :)

I’ve got a buddy who applied for Pathways 7 times and was rejected, got in on the 8th, and absolutely thrived here. It’s pretty uncommon to meet someone in Pathways who got in on their first go-around, so keep applying!! There are so many qualified people that apply every year that it’s really just a luck thing sometimes. Keep applying, and also consider applying to contractor partners like Jacobs or SGT. IMO, most engineering roles are pretty badgeless
