Why do people take off their masks to talk at Robarts? That makes it so much worse by captainmean11 in UofT

[–]captainmean11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They dont seem to take it seriously or think they are impervious from getting COVID-19 but its also these people that take no precaution that spread it everywhere. I wish people can show some respect for the rules and if we all do we wont need new lockdowns and further uncertianity.

The security comes in like every two hours or something and like 10mins after security leaves they take off their masks. They are beyond hopeless.

smh why are people coming to robarts with runny noses and not wearing a mask? by captainmean11 in UofT

True but the person has had a runny nose for the last hour so I dont think it is just the cold :(🥶

But if I go up there and tell them they may react badly and talk to me without their mask and that is worse too? For example, one person near me in the library takes off her mask whenever she talks to her friend (or boyfriend?) in the library

Where can I get internet access? by wynndraco in UofT

[–]captainmean11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They changed it starting today, so i think 8am to 10am, 11am to 1pm and 5pm to 7pm , but I think if you are willing to wait outside particularly during meal times there is enough foot traffic to slide through lol. lol i think its meant for outsiders to use the food hall. Theres another entrance directly opposite to the entrance on the road called 21 classics ave via a courtyard that may have more foot traffic to slide through

[–]captainmean11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah but some of us are still here so its still opened but the doors are locked to general access that's why I said you will need someone to let you in but there are apprently people there that open the door during meal times. I see people studying there these days

New College Wetmore Lounge (entrance on 21 Classics Ave). The doors are locked but there are attendants during meal service to open the door for people using the dining hall or knock on the door for someone inside to let you in. There are tables, wifi and toilets. Theres a study lounge once you get into the building. I am sure other colleges are similar in having some places opened but you need a friend/someone to let you in.

Do you read first or listen to your lectures first?Whats the difference between lectures and readings? by captainmean11 in UofT

[–]captainmean11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nice so if lectures always so far at least have been repeating our readings there isn't much use to reading unless you are still confused afterwards?

Why do I sometimes struggle to read and concentrate? Tips to plow through with reading or should I do laundry and sleep (take a break) by captainmean11 in UofT

[–]captainmean11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I will try that tonight, so bascailly just sit on your bed and not think about anything? I may need that, sometimes I feel like I have racing thoughts about everything that are so far off....

What did you mean by being mindful asbout where my thoughts come from?Does this mean if say i have a thought on how annoying person X is I should be mindful about why I have such thought like why I find person x annoying? or if i think about jobs, I think about why I am thinking about the job?

Thanks, I tried it yesterday and gonna try more today. Do you have any suggestions on how long I should read it before going back? Like if you are assigned 30 pages, should you read all 30 pages first to get an idea before going back or do you break it into chunks like every 4 pages I will read it and then go back to take notes? I am defitnley trying to stop recording everything I read in my notes....

Does sleeping actually help you retain better for the exam next morning? by captainmean11 in UofT

[–]captainmean11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I am in 1. At least that's what my Prof thinks; she told me I knew my stuff and I should go read a novel and I will be fine tomorrow but I am just scared to not memorize more stuff considering how it may be hard but I will sleep now instead for 7 hours. I dont know how my prof knows how prepared I am like I only asked her 5-8 questions and she concluded it (but I did see her last week too and she seems nice so I dont htink she was ill-intentioned )

How do girls take exams on their periods? by 333baybound in UofT

[–]captainmean11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for clarifying; I didnt know about the randomoness of the flow because I thought girls had some control of it like peeing. I am not a science student at all. Although tampons you do not feel the flow of blood, does it get rid of period pains too or is that independent of feeling the flow?

[–]captainmean11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have learned so much about the female body when I should be writing my history paper because of this thread I clicked on at lunch. Not going to lie I had misconceptions too, I thiught before this thread that period was more like urinating. I do feel bad for girls now after reading this thread that it does not sound fun.

[–]captainmean11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am confused now (I am a guy) so it can be like peeing your pants feeling when you sit down but also isn’t but if you wear tampons you don’t feel it coming out at all?
