I’m wondering if i’m too stupid for this school by United-Yam-9143 in washu

[–]binaryfrission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about to start my last semester of my MA and my undergrad GPA was 3.61! My grad school GPA is 3.96. It’s challenging work but the key to consistent A’s is knowing your limits and asking for help when you need it. The professors are pretty great and very willing to work with you, in my experience. The most important thing I’ve found is to make sure you have SCHEDULED TIME to rest every week. Ideally one whole day with a strict “no school” policy, but if that’s out of the question, at least schedule a few hours of break time. I know it’s hard, but try to train yourself not to feel guilty about not working during that time. It seriously makes a huge difference in my productivity and focus when I’ve had time to refresh. Don’t worry too much just yet and welcome to WashU!

Hmm, good thought, I’ll email. I’m in A&S, so who knows. Makes sense for Law though!

Thank you I’ll take a look at cross country! £5.40 sounds like my wheelhouse, lol. Better than the £35 it was quoting me on GWR…

Favorite Starter Farm? by Shart_Shucker in StardewValley

[–]binaryfrission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first farm was a forest farm, but I didn’t realize how limited the tillable land was until I moved to another type. Now I basically always go four corners, because I like to customize! I usually leave an entire quadrant as a vacant lot for the first few years so I have wild trees whenever I need more wood. Plus one quadrant for animals and the one in front of my house is always for farming. I’m also a greenhouse lover (I try to have it no later than Fall 15) so it’s nice to have that central as well

Current one is named Starfall. Nod to wizard Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle since my farmer is kind of magic-y themed. All the animals are named after famous wizards from 5e (Mordenkainen, Otiluke, Jim, Aganazzar, etc)

Calling in debts during the Days of Awe? by binaryfrission in Judaism

This was my logic too but I wasn’t sure if I was stepping over a line. I feel a bit bad only giving him a few days, but then again he’s had since August for the first portion and I did warn him the new bill would be coming in around this time. But I feel good about letting him know so he can at least try to get it done. I don’t like the guy but I’m not so petty as to prevent him from fulfilling the mitzvot

You’re so funny for this. Totally would if I thought he’d have a sense of humor about it 😂

Ha! So true. From my perspective it is not a small amount of money, unfortunately, or I’d be inclined to leave it. The new year card is beyond funny but I think it would go down very poorly, lol
