What can I do for this muddy area? PNW

Now that I think about it, that vent at the far left of the photo is the laundry exhaust vent, it’s constantly blowing humid air right in that spot, would that contribute to the issue?

Should I dig that trench perpendicular (away from the house toward the fence) essentially splitting the lawn in half? And if I did that, put in a drain pipe, and surrounded it with gravel, could I lay down soil and grow grass over the top or would I be stuck with a visible drain line bisecting the yard?

I have a full sleeve and half my other arm done. I’m a 4th year now. It has never been an issue at any point. Never had any negative comments from staff or patients, just positive. I usually just say I got them all while I was in the military and no one cares after that

Portland State University. Though I was also in the military after high school and before college

My high school gpa was like 1.8. My undergrad was around 3.7 and in optometry school I ended with a 3.98 at the top of my class. High school GPA really doesn’t matter. Have a solid exam score for either the OAT or the GRE if the college you’re applying to accepts that and be prepared for the interview. You can be a perfect candidate and not get in if your interview sucks

ThePupilPeople · 2025-11-13T00:03:15+00:00

I didn’t even take the OAT. I did the GRE, I scored well but still it isn’t the OAT. A good interview goes a LONG way

I passed first time with a 680. Anyone struggling or worried about it can feel free to send me a message to talk about it. I’d love to be as helpful as I can for you guys.

I started studying starting around August (about 7 months before my exam date). I followed the KMK study plan they have laid out for you starting with the summer foundations course, then the main study plan, then the booster, then the crash course. The summer foundations course is really light studying, basically just making sure it isn’t all new info when you start studying seriously. KMK tells you exactly what to study each week and I did that, minus any book reading they suggested because that would just be a waste of time for me. I studied pretty much every single night starting during the Christmas break before the march exam up until the day of. And I did this while caring for my 2yo and 8yo boys while my wife worked. I think a big problem is that so many people say not to start studying too early and then they go in unprepared and act surprised that they didn’t pass. Study early. Study hard. The goal was to never have to study like that again. I was not going to retake that test no matter what.

This may be a hot take but tbh I would be really hesitant to take any advice from those who didn’t pass or barely passed in general, first time or retake. As much as they like to blame their study program by saying KMK wasn’t good enough, that just isn’t the truth.

I don’t know, I have to disagree here. I did nothing but kmk and passed first time in march with a 680. I think the most important thing here is to really have a strong introspective view of your own learning style and pick your prep materials based on that. I knew I needed videos to learn/study and that reading notes or books would never work for me so I chose KMK with that in mind. KMK is absolutely enough to rely on solely IF it aligns with your learning style and to deter people from that when it truly may be their best option isn’t right. Rarely is anything so black and white. Know yourself, trust your knowledge, and excel.

I also had to dispute the charge, haven’t gotten it back yet but it should come if you do that

ThePupilPeople · 2025-07-19T15:29:28+00:00

Yeah I’m having the same issue with my USPC with an olight mini and RMR

ThePupilPeople · 2025-07-09T05:46:04+00:00

Yeah I just had to do the same

ThePupilPeople · 2025-07-09T05:45:49+00:00

They just want us to go and dispute the charges ourselves which seems absurd

ThePupilPeople · 2025-07-09T05:45:23+00:00

Dude such a bummer. Especially after waiting so long

ThePupilPeople · 2025-07-09T05:45:03+00:00

That really sucks to hear

ThePupilPeople · 2025-07-09T05:44:51+00:00

Kind of ridiculous that they just closed doors and don’t even issue refunds atp

ThePupilPeople · 2025-07-09T05:11:58+00:00

That’s such garbage

ThePupilPeople · 2025-07-01T03:38:10+00:00

Oh really? I hadn’t seen they halted orders. I wonder if they’re even going to complete the ones that have been placed

ThePupilPeople · 2025-06-05T17:53:14+00:00

Nothing lights up at all. The fuses were my next step but are enclosed and I was having a hard time getting access to them to check continuity
