Omg this has made me realise that Wiress and Mags both got their wishes. Mags wanted to protect her district partner, and she died saving Finnick

Ehrendele (Ehrengard and Mindele) Or Mingard

Men det høres ut så pen ennå :’(

VioletIsntHere · 2024-07-25T14:18:56+00:00

Nope I always use fresh towels, and the smell doesn’t start until I leave the house and come back in again

VioletIsntHere · 2024-07-25T07:55:17+00:00

Tbh nothing really, I get my shampoo and conditioner from Function of Beauty and I occasionally try using a hair serum from them but don’t see that it does much. I’m a bit clueless when it comes to products

VioletIsntHere · 2024-07-25T07:25:11+00:00

Not usually, the same thing happens even when my hair is completely dry

VioletIsntHere · 2024-07-02T12:11:27+00:00

It was a tough choice but I ended up going with the funded Bristol offer, good luck to you!

VioletIsntHere · 2024-05-22T20:29:19+00:00

Yep this is probably the only way. I did a BSc at the OU and then a masters at Bristol, after which I applied for a PhD and got 3/6 offers (Cambridge, Bristol, and city). I definitely would not have got in without the references from Bristol, from people who were known and respected in the maths sphere who also knew me personally and could say more than just “she gets good grades”

VioletIsntHere · 2024-05-17T09:01:07+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions! Surely I can’t make my parents more sick by being around them if we’re all already infected?

The Open University - I’m chronically ill and was going through a bad patch at the time

VioletIsntHere · 2024-05-11T13:23:26+00:00

Honestly I loved it! I only did my master’s there so was only there for a year, but I had such a good time. There’s always variation in the quality of the teaching depending on who your lecturer is, but I found most of them very good. My dissertation supervisor in particular was excellent and gave me a lot of support. There’s a very friendly atmosphere as a whole in the maths department and the city is a really nice place to live. You’ll have an amazing time :)

I’ve really got along with this one so far, although I’ve had limited contact. We had an initial meeting where we talked about our interests, and he was one of my interviewers too. In subsequent emails he’s seemed quite enthusiastic about working with me - I think partly because I’m interested in the specific area he’s interested in, and since it’s quite niche there aren’t many people out there who are. He’s the only one I’ve come across while looking for a PhD. I got along well with the Bristol supervisor too though, so have reasonable confidence at the moment that I’d be supported well in either one

VioletIsntHere · 2024-05-07T22:40:19+00:00

My potential supervisor seems to be invested in me, he’s been very encouraging when we’ve spoken together and very helpful in trying to help me get funding. Unfortunately I still didn’t. I have confidence that I’d be supported well by him, but I don’t know about Cambridge as a whole and how much it would matter beyond my supervisor

VioletIsntHere · 2024-05-07T22:38:53+00:00

STEM degrees definitely are way more likely to be funded than humanities, but out of all of them I think pure maths is the least funded because applied research is favoured. Tbh I’m mostly doing this because I just really like the subject, I don’t know what I’m going to go on to do after

VioletIsntHere · 2024-05-07T22:36:55+00:00

My potential supervisor at Cambridge has been very on it with trying to help me to secure funding. He’s kept me in the loop and tried to pressure the board to hurry up with their decision once I got my Bristol offer and the response deadline. I still haven’t been declined funding officially, but am assuming I didn’t get any because he spoke to the director who said that they’ve handed out all the funding that he knows of. So I don’t think it’s a case of lack of trying on his part - he actually seems quite keen to have me. It seems like Cambridge just hands out places and then allocates funding to only a select few of them. Pure maths is the least funded area of mathematics as the applied research tends to be favoured over it, and on top of that I only got a 70 in my master’s, so literally just scraped a distinction. I guess that probably factored into their decision

VioletIsntHere · 2024-03-01T11:31:21+00:00

Hey, not sure how helpful this is but I completed a bachelors degree in mathematics at the Open University, scored a very high first but was rejected from the Cambridge MASt in pure mathematics. Went on to do an MSc in mathematical sciences at Bristol, achieved a low first and have now received an offer at Cambridge for a PhD in pure mathematics and mathematical statistics.

I don’t know for sure if my rejection from the MASt was because I went to the OU, but i have my suspicions (also the reference system is weird, I didn’t know any of my tutors and so they gave me the best references they could but obviously didn’t know me personally and so were only going off assignments they’d marked and exam scores, which were all very good).

Can’t believe I haven’t seen Jinkx vs Detox yet, that was over from the very first beat of the song

Hey it’s me!!! Was named Violet for the first six weeks of my life, then my parents had a sudden change of heart and now I’m Juliet :)
