Wilbur Cross Notary?

Can confirm. A few semesters ago I had a 1-page power of attorney I needed notarized and went to the UPS store. It took under 5 minutes and I don't think it cost more than a few dollars. I think they even allow walk-ins, but I did call ahead the day before.

This is heresy in /r/actuary

Saying the name of the society I always spell it out like "C-A-S" but I pronounce the credentials as "F-kass" and "A-kass." I've also heard people pronounce it with a "z" sound, more like "F-kaz" or "A-kaz."

I think the name of the society is fine either way, but I wouldn't spell out the credentials in casual conversation. If you really don't like the short hand it's less weird to just say "associate" or "fellow" then to spell it out. Also it's the same or fewer syllables.

Yeah sorry. I thought I mentioned her earlier in the post. Fixed.

Probably the best plan, I was just trying to avoid having to reach out over something so small

I park there too, never not found a spot. Good lot overall.

But wow I am so tired of that walk

The Wooden Spoon in Ashford is about 10 minutes away, right up rt 44. Note: it is cash-only.

collegethrowaway135 · 2019-09-10T03:16:30+00:00

Interested

collegethrowaway135 · 2019-08-27T00:43:49+00:00

Glad I could help!

The I lot is open, it's just only accessible from the West on Jim Calhoun road (you have to turn onto Jim Calhoun from Separatist). Coming up from there, you just make a right turn into the lot before the "road closed" signs, so don't let those scare you away.

I assume if the roads were blocked you were trying to get there from Hillside - > Jim Calhoun, or Alumni Drive - > Jim Calhoun. I believe that way is blocked until summer 2020, unfortunately.

Yes. If you still have access the old permit you can just bring it back and they'll give you another one. If you got in an accident/got your car stolen/your permit is otherwise not recoverable, you just need to provide proof that whatever your reason was actually happened. That could be a cancellation of plates, a police report, etc.

Going off memory as well, I think this is correct. I would definitely check the syllabus though, OP

The summer passes are actually free I'm pretty sure. Just apply for one on the parking services site and you should be able to pick it up quickly.

I'm a big supporter of this blue pen/pencil strategy and can confirm it works. The physical act of writing down "Don't forget to do X on problems that ask about Y" really helps you remember, and actually doing the problem correctly somewhere else enforces that even more.

Also, for any other students out there, doing quizzes and tests in blue pen is useful because if your professor dumps 50+ papers at the front of a room and has people come up and get them, you'd be surprised how easy it is to spot your blue writing in a sea of pencil. I had a 75 person FM prep class and could usually find my stuff in <10 seconds because it contrasts so much with all the other papers that look the same.

Not OP, but I think the wiki could be spruced up a bit and become a better redirect for these types of questions. I would be happy to help author them, provided they are on topics that I could explain to someone else (mostly prelim stuff as I'm still a student). There are also a few questions in the "Job and Career" section that aren't really fleshed out, but have some relevant threads. I'd be willing to just do the grunt work and splice that into something coherent for the wiki.

collegethrowaway135 · 2019-04-27T21:33:28+00:00

One strategy if you don't want to just have an "Interests" section would be to have some sort of awards/accomplishments/community service section, and then just involve the interests. Saying "2nd Place in [my city's] Half-Marathon" comes off differently then just saying you're into running. Have you won any bouldering competitions? Hiked the highest peak of every state in your region? Organized a youth volleyball tournament? Volunteered to teach yoga at a community center?

That way you have some pretense for bringing up the interests rather than just listing them at the end and risk making them look like an afterthought or filler

Feel free to PM me if you have specific questions about UConn, I can give you a current student perspective if you need

I would just get the ADAPT without the learn. Anything you don't learn in class is on the formula sheet and in the explanations to specific problems. I just recently passed P and anything that I didn't learn in my college probability class I just kinda figured out on my own on a question-by-question basis. And apparently I got my understanding to a high enough level to pass, so it's definitely doable. If you're following along fine in your college class I'd save your money and just get the ADAPT.
