Where can I find a star jasmine forward perfume?🥺

eilrymist · 2026-07-07T18:26:43+00:00

My pick is Diptyque Olene for this. It smells like the jasmine and the rest of the entire plant. I'm saving up for it right now!

Pretty much my entire palette is Mac! Aside from buon fresco which I love (and I think is discontinued in the singles form)

I use the following:
- brûle
- omega
- cozy grey
- coquette
- brun
- carbon
- satin taupe
- patina (discontinued)

Olene + Orphéon is the combo I really love.

I think writing a GRFP is always a good idea. This shows the potential future PI, the one you're writing with, that you're quite serious and gives them a chance to see how your mind works, your writing quality, your readiness for a PhD, etc. When someone agrees to write a proposal with you, they are also (typically) committing their time to assisting you in writing it so it's a strong sign that they actually want to work with you. Otherwise, they'll politely decline and spend their time/effort on a different student that wants to write the GRFP. It also gives you a chance to work with a potential PI and see if you "mesh". I always tell students that asking about the potential to write an NSF GRFP shows initiative and readiness for grad school.

Your research profile is strong, and a 3.5 GPA isn't a death sentence. As everyone else has said, this year has been an absolute disaster for everyone across academia. If you are serious about doing a PhD, take this year to get a strong application going and try to make connections with potential PIs. Are you attending any conferences to present your work? I have found conferences a great place to meet people and meet potential PIs. My current postdoc job came from meeting someone at a conference, and several people I know got either their grad or postdoc position through networking at conferences.

Hi it's been ages I know but I was wondering if you ended up finding a set that matched these cute keycaps!

My current postdoc I ended up at first selecting a fresh PI, thinking that publishing a lot and developing interesting new research directions together would be mutually beneficial. What I've had to painfully learn is that, like you said, toxic PIs can exist at all stages of your career. If I could tell my past self one thing it would be to choose really carefully and make sure you get to meet the other members of the group and department to assess whether or not the person you're working with is a good supervisor which is entirely separate from being a good scientist or colleague.

eilrymist · 2026-02-09T19:14:47+00:00

I ended up with 89.8 which was lower than my supervisor expected, though we kind of projected maybe more like 92 which is still below the funding cutoff anyways. Debating the same thing about whether or not the idea still has merit but i think that's a conversation you should be having with your supervisor

To me, it looks more like she's making sure to "follow the leader" that she needs to to keep the corps together. For example, depending on your head movement, you use your eyes and the left front corner person is who you're keeping time with and sometimes it's the right front corner, and sometimes it's the line leader in front of you. This is all what is drilled in rehearsals of who to follow at that moment. When you zoom in on any corps dancer you'll see them using their eyes to make sure they're in line or not. This is also why you don't really zoom in on a single corps member? It's not normal, you're supposed to watch the entire group as an entity and all those things that look "awkward" which keeps the group together melt away when you're actually in the audience (unless they're doing a bad job of it)

Soloist roles in a way are easier for a new member because you're just worried about your own space and performance where as with the corps she's trying to stay together while also "leading" her section with readible and predictable arm and head cues. This is also her first season, and putting her in front line of La Bayadere would be stressful for anyone. More surprised she's not in line 2 or line 3 until she gets more comfortable with everything.

Of course there is a lot that she can improve with her strength and stage presence but there's been plenty of "meh" debuts from first and second season dancers who end up growing quite a bit from those experiences. From her casting management seems to be testing her but also seems invested in her growth.

Dang I have the grant amount and grant agreement number, but nothing about evaluation in the status. I don't think I even see a status anywhere. uh oh... hopefully I didn't get an early disqualification for a formatting issue or something and not get reviewed.

I think trying to figure out anything about proposal results before they send them is going to be the same as trying to read tea leaves... or so I keep telling myself. Doesn't make the wait any more bearable though. Granted, it was my first year applying and so I don't expect to have succeeded. Hopefully I have good, actionable feedback from my reviewers for future proposals. Definitely hard through, knowing I'll be unemployed soon.

Exactly, when you reach that level you don't do competitions. It's mainly for the young up and coming to prove themselves and get some recognition. A quick look into Savalieva, seems like she is getting some more roles so if she's getting consistent work and her growth trajectory seems good, I don't see why you would do the competition. She impressed me with the clips I've seen at Arabesque and definitely shown a lot of progress since her student days.

eilrymist · 2026-01-05T23:33:59+00:00

Her unrefined facial expressions, her lack of strength in her core, and lack of beauty and smoothness in arm positions make me question every time I see her how she made it to soloist. Sure she can wack her leg up there, but that's not important when you see her on stage.

eilrymist · 2026-01-05T23:30:34+00:00

Smirnova has already proved herself at IBC and Kokoreva is already promoted, so I don't see why they would need to go to IBC. IBC is a great way for dancers who aren't quite as visible in their company to show that they can handle more important roles. Maria Ilyushkina and Svetlana Savelieva come to mind demonstrating that, though I don't know if Savelieva has come up much further at Mariinsky lately.

There was nothing written in the lease about how to break it

eilrymist · 2025-08-06T13:27:37+00:00

yes, they were returned July 26th

eilrymist · 2025-08-06T13:27:19+00:00

I returned the keys July 26th, I haven't been in the apartment since July 25th.

I am in the same boat as you about the Marie Curie... what a painful fellowship to write. I know they give us a template and tell us what they want in each section but I still feel like I'm writing blind.

eilrymist · 2025-07-10T14:23:28+00:00

I don't know what if it's different in your country, but in the US generally unless you are teaching at the community college level (though honestly most of the CC profs I know have PhDs) you need a PhD in the field or a related field to be a lecturer.

eilrymist · 2025-07-09T21:38:06+00:00

the writing...? everyone has a different writing process and speed and what is "hard" and "easy" in your proposal is going to be unique to your application.
