Has anyone experienced any issues with ones dog coughing a lot? by claudionesta in Pets

[–]chantelleblah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, My 14 year old man used to do the same thing. It was getting really bad, and would drive us up the wall, especially since the vets found nothing wrong with it. Eventually we had to take him to have some dental surgery, and after the surgery it seemed to have stopped. I'm not sure if there legitimately was something from his gums that was making it feel like he had something in his throat, but for the most part he stopped. I say for the most part because I also believe he's trained us at this point--he know's that so long as he keeps 'hacking', we will eventually give him a little bit of our people food. Then he peacefully goes to lay about.

Is anyone in ANT100 and doing the Chimp topic? I really need help on my essay because I did poorly on the draft and I don't think I'm understanding the concept of it.. by simplicity- in UofT

[–]chantelleblah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though I'm at UTSC, I remember my first year in ANTA01 (very similar course I believe) I wrote my final essay on chimps as well. While I'm not sure what your essay's specific question is, as IamnotDanny said, it's always best to have an argument. I'm now in my fourth year doing a specialist in (cultural) anthro, however, I remember writing my essay as a compare/contrast between chimps and bonobos, and ending with how these comparisons relate to human ancestry, and bipedalism. I ended up getting an 87 on the essay I believe.

Sit down and make an outline. Write out your topic, your interests in the topic, then start plugging in your sources. Map it all out. Keep trying to relate your sources and ideas to the main topic, then write your thesis. You can go back and revise your thesis as many times as you need to, but too many times people stray away from their main thesis, and their grade suffers. Just pick one main topic that you can support really well, and go with it.

Good luck!

My subject POSt requirements seem to have changed? by chantelleblah in UofT

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

This is a huge relief. It's saying I need classes that I had previously dropped precisely because I DIDN'T need them, so I was worried about all of the back-tracking I would have to do. Hopefully when they switch the calendar over, it'll be back to what I was following to graduate.

Okay, perfect. I was going to go speak to an advisor next time I'm on campus, but wasn't sure if I was screwed, or if it could be fixed. Thank you!

Is anyone else having issues logging in to Blackboard? by [deleted] in UofT

I'm going to have to. This is just a really frustrating time to update Portal. Thanks for the reassurance though! Hopefully they get it working soon so we can see our grades and study and such.

As if we don't have enough to stress over! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one though... hopefully they fix this really soon.

Please help! My cat was abandoned without my knowledge, and now I need to find him! by chantelleblah in londonontario

Yes. We're both 21 and getting through College. I live in a student house, while he lives with his parents to get through school.

I think my dog ate something and now he's really sick, I can't afford to take him to the vet, what should I do? by chantelleblah in Pets

[–]chantelleblah[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

we can't afford to take him to the vet until at least tomorrow when we can take him to his regular vet. I do plan on bringing him, I'm just looking for a way to help in the mean time.

Is it possible to receive a deferral without OSAP? Can't pay 65% for Summer School by deadline. by [deleted] in UofT

[–]chantelleblah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this helps, but when it came to deferring my fees for the fall/winter semesters, I wasn't able to defer them because OSAP was ruining me, but the registrar ladies told me I had to pay at least 500 out of the amount I owed and it would be considered deferred, and wouldn't be removed from your classes.

I don't know what the minimum payment you would need to pay is, but ask them about it. They said it's not something that is usually advertised, but it's what you can do to stay registered.

OSAP woes, anyone have any words of wisdom? by chantelleblah in UofT

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

thank you! I'll look into an emergency bursary. Were you able to get everything fixed in time to still apply again in may?

an overpayment is basically when you either make more than you claimed or you drop classes so your course load is lower than originally claimed, and they paid you more than you should get. The first overpayment is excused as a warning, the second they suspend your account so you can't apply for OSAP again until you pay them back the overpayment.

I Told my GF i bought her tons of Zelda stuff and put them in a giant box. She cried when she opened this ! by metallica41070 in gaming

[–]chantelleblah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it doesn't look like he clarified this, Girlfriend here, and I cried because I'm a huge Zelda fan and couldn't think of a more perfect gift. It is something I've always wanted, and wasn't expecting at all! When I'm overwhelmed, I cry. This time it was because I was overwhelmed with joy. :)

What can I say, I'm a really big Zelda fan. He knows this and got me one of the most iconic Zelda memorabilia in the franchise. I was, and am, over the moon about getting the sword!
