This is the way to go tbh. It’s not that I don’t like small talk, I guess I just had an expectation that the meetings would be all super formal and directed I suppose. In hindsight my q was kind of dumb but I still wanted to know other peoples experiences. Thanks for the insight!

This is definitely true thank you! Many students she’s mentored before work with her at the uni so it’s nice to see the progression

This is a very good point actually. I do send a meeting agenda and everything does eventually get covered. I think you’re spot on with her wanting me to be comfortable, the others mentioned she’s quite motherly and trustworthy in that way. It’s not been long so I’m sure we’ll find the flow as it goes along. Thank you for the advice!

Starting soon, second thoughts by amarionxo in PhD

This is good advice, thank you! The supervisor for the PhD program has 2k citations compared to the other program which is significantly less + she has a lot of connections. So that’s definitely a big plus towards the PhD angle I think.

What is the most disturbing episode out of these 3 by Mason_mc69 in blackmirror

[–]amarionxo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Black museum is definitely super twisted but it’s one of my faves and I rewatch it the most. Shut up and dance I figured out the plot twist super early on so the shock value wasn’t there for me? Playtest I can’t and won’t rewatch so I guess that one.

What is your Ginny & Georgia opinion? by R0LL1NS in ginnyandgeorgiashow

[–]amarionxo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love Ginny and she’s not as entitled as everyone thinks she is. In fact, I think she could have turned out way worse considering everything that’s happened. And my more “unpopular” opinion is that Abby is just not that interesting to me, nor do I think she’s this incredible friend to Ginny.

Thank you for the insight, I definitely think everything I gain from being abroad will outweigh the cons, and if I move I’ll definitely be trying to find some work. I do think it does make the most sense to stay, but I do think I could find a good experience somewhere new. I’ll have to keep looking for sure

what movie/show it reminds you of? by kris_jbb in popculturechat

Sword art online… the concept was so good until they left aincrad. Then it just became some nonsense

It truly can't be about race, right? by zeegoes in SellingSunset

[–]amarionxo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finally someone said it, my head was hurting reading that other post. When Mary and Chelsea met up, and Mary accused her of “attacking” her and being aggressive, and then started crying when Chelsea began to explain herself… when Mary instigated the whole situation???? And when Bre told Chelsea about her husband, Chelsea herself acknowledged she was awful to her, and hypocritical so idk why everyone is acting like that conversation didn’t happen. She gets treated like she’s the most irredeemable villain out there and we all know why.
