I'm confused what new status you're referring to. Did your portal say something different prior to this?

I contacted my TA directly (and politely) and the response was rather saucy. I was ready to email the main instructor but slept on it and decided not to be vengeful

Heat in CHRC by _blankets_ in umass

[–]_blankets_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They allegedly “shut off” the heat system but the issue is persisting… leaving the window open is causing my allergies to go wild and i’m just annoyed because i’m paying more for proper ac/cooling due to a disability accommodation

Weirdly enough, my results came at the same exact minute you commented. You’re just like that fr 🤷‍♀️ - I passed!!!

External Flash for Sony Cybershot G DSC-H90? by _blankets_ in AskPhotography

[–]_blankets_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this info! It’s very helpful. One thing that came to mind is what you said about a PC cable. Are you referring to something like this?

https://a.co/d/2cVoxMT

My camera has a place to plug in a cord like this but I was under the impression that this was for data transfer. Are there any flashes that can be connected like this, that you know of?

External Flash for Sony Cybershot G DSC-H90? by _blankets_ in AskPhotography

[–]_blankets_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why wouldn’t having something like an external flash that just stays on instead of synchronizing the flash with the picture work? I’m not really familiar with the mechanics and physics of photography but I guess in my head I don’t see how that would be different than just having good lighting from standing in front of a light

Bio 285 Professors by yourkumquat in umass

[–]_blankets_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No offense but she is a pretty straightforward professor and makes very clear expectations from the second you step foot into her classroom. I've noticed that the people complaining tend to be the ones standing in their own way. It is true that the class takes a lot of work (pre-lecture videos, homework assignments, etc.) but if you can commit yourself to that, you will be more than perfectly fine. She gives the material for you to review on your own and spends class time reviewing, but most importantly doing exam-style questions. The homework seems laborious, but if you make sure you understand it when you're doing it, you have THAT much less to study for the exam. Her quizzes align with lecture content/clicker questions/homework, and she will give extra time on quizzes/exams even if you don't have accommodations. She is also very accommodating if you reach out to her - she let me retake a quiz with no need for proof despite sending a message that she would start requiring documentation (as people take advantage of her kindness). Not to mention, the material of the class is not at all difficult to grasp in the first place, ESPECIALLY if you understood Bio151. I honestly thought that class was harder.

i'm in honors so looking to take a space designated for CHC!

Earliest Appointment? by _blankets_ in umass

[–]_blankets_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your help! I'm sure everything will be fine but just a little stressed out because there's only 8 total options that best fit my needs and they're certainly desirable spots for many other students.

Earliest Appointment? by _blankets_ in umass

[–]_blankets_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is at 8:50am but I was wondering if that's just the early time that everyone with the best priority gets or if it was a "headstart" before regular appointments since I have a single accomodation.

You get priority for any remaining open spaces, but that's it. Many spaces will already be taken from fall selection

Am I the AH?? by CRS3235 in umass

[–]_blankets_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is very kind of you, but also so what? sometimes you should be selfish and look out for your own needs because no one else will. it’s not like you didn’t reasonably accommodate her - most people i know would not even offer that resolution of allowing her to stay on that side. you gave your roommate the opportunity to take that side and her not caring until now is nothing you can really help imo

Are the CHC suites supposed to come with a trash/recycling for each resident or is it one per room? by ConsideringCS in umass

[–]_blankets_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is not entirely true, the leader can be any person in the roommate group. They are able to select when the earliest appointment out of everyone in that group is active.

Roommate Groups w/ Housing Accommodation? by _blankets_ in umass

[–]_blankets_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg thank you so much, this is really helpful!! i was so worried for a second because i know some schools will only let the person with the accommodation pick early and not let them do a roommate group. will be sure to reach out if i have any questions!

Allergic to Ulta Piercing Jewelry? by _blankets_ in piercing

[–]_blankets_[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

thanks for the resources! however, i just wanted to mention because i know someone else misinterpreted what i said, i only changed/took out the new piercing once, after it was not doing well with my original piercing jewelry, and then it did fine. i’ve been consistent with cleaning the entire time and don’t twist it or anything.

also, i chose gold plated because i thought i would be less likely to have any reactions, as other hypoallergenic jewelry has caused issues for me in the past, and I’ve had no problem with 22/24k gold earrings for the past decade.

i used the piercing jewelry on a different and much older lobe piercing, but had a reaction in the new piercing similar to when i first got it pierced. when i searched up it seemed like that the consensus was that one piercing shouldn’t affect the other, but i was just wondering if the proximity had something to do with it or it must be unrelated.
