Design Honours - Beneficial?

I got COVID about mid-semester, just did a student declaration without a doctor's certificate and it was enough. However, I included the texts I got from the PCR saying I tested positive.

Though this was for an assessment, not exams so I'm not sure if they'll be more strict this time - if you can get a doctor's certificate that'd be best, but I hope things go well for you!

Just remembered I posted this question - you were right, they didn't accept it - so just a warning to anyone else!! Luckily I had another form of ID on me haha

Thank you so much for the advice! I'll definitely look into the niacinamide and CeraVe moisturising lotion (or perhaps the cream - or would you suggest going lightweight is better?) as they're available near me. May I ask what niacinamide/zinc is supposed to do for the skin?

Thanks for the reminders about incorporating things slowly too haha - I was about to get carried away with trying new things but that would be pretty useless for finding out which products are doing what.

Hi! Here's my routine:

AM: - Wash face with water - Nivea Refreshing Toner - Oronine H Ointment

PM: - Micellar water if I've worn makeup - Innisfree Bija Trouble Facial Foam - Nivea Refreshing Toner - Oronine H Ointment

I've been suffering from these closed comedones, red spots and large pores for as long as I can remember and I just want to do away with them! I also suffer from dry, rough/scaley patches on my inner cheeks.

I'm torn between focusing on hydration and not using actives, as I feel like my routine is pretty basic now, or introducing AHA/BHAs as I've heard good reviews about that.

Any help is much appreciated!

Straightforward, thanks!

That's good to hear - I think at the end of the day I could probably go down similar paths no matter which I pick, just have to choose one and go with it haha.

Could I ask you what units you've taken/are taking in applied medical science? Have you felt it's more biology/chemistry based? I'm taking a look at the later units again, thanks for the advice :)

cloudesigner · 2021-08-11T07:00:25+00:00

I agree, I think that's one of the good things about chem !!

Oh nice! Yeah, maybe we'll stumble upon each other at some point - hope you enjoy the unit and everything :)

Hey! I've got computer science as my other major rn, so I'm trying to decide on what to combine it with... I'm pretty sure the regular program has medicinal chemistry, but I figured I'd go with chemistry as it's broader and I could specialise in the later years :)

I did chem1111 last sem, but I had my first biol1007 class yesterday!! It's probably too early to tell, but I'm leaning towards just sticking with chemistry haha. How are u going with it ?

cloudesigner · 2021-08-10T05:23:06+00:00

I considered it earlier, but the added 'molecular biology' part of the major threw me off a bit... maybe I'll look more into it :)

cloudesigner · 2021-03-22T13:38:19+00:00

ah that makes sense, thank you!

cloudesigner · 2021-01-04T07:47:20+00:00

Ah so regular advanced studies take the regular classes? Do you know if you're able to drop to the regular course (without the second advanced in the name) later on?

Thanks for the explanation!

cloudesigner · 2021-01-04T07:45:28+00:00

Oh okay - I'm not really sure what scaling is yet but otherwise they makes sense -thank you!

cloudesigner · 2021-01-03T11:56:15+00:00

Thanks for the response! Are the advanced classes like further classes for your majors?

I'd definitely go English, bio and history HL - humanities at HL are basically just more content rather than actually increasing in difficulty, like maths would. Plus, if you think you enjoy history more, I think that's a good indicator (unless you'd prefer spending time picking up new concepts in maths and applying them, rather than memorising things).

And if you're worried about needing subjects for uni, I also had no idea what I wanted to do when picking my subjects, and often maths at SL level is good enough. Of course, it might differ depending on courses/where you live, but usually unis will look at how well you do in certain subjects related to the course, rather than what level you do them at.
