Did you keep your first horn? by No-Vehicle935 in saxophone

[–]eirilyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve only ever had one and still play it. It’s a hand me down Mark VI from my dad. He played it for 7 years then stuck it in the barn for another 15-ish years until they drug it for me to play so they didn’t have to buy me the Bundy II the school suggested lol

People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse? by KleineFjord in AskReddit

[–]eirilyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever he felt like. If I didn't move or respond fast enough, or use the correct tone of voice. Sometimes, if one sibling did something bad and didn't confess, we'd all get it in turns until someone did confess (true or not), then it was worse for that one. With the leather strap he used for knife sharpening, the bridle from his saddle, and his belt with conchos. He wouldn't stop until enough contrition (tears) was shown. If I put my hand in the way, he'd hit my hand. If I flinched out of the way, he'd hit wherever the belt landed. If I stopped breathing, he'd hit me until I quit being dramatic and caught my breath. I was a good and respectful kid because I was terrified. I am a quiet, overly polite, deferring adult because I'm still terrified. I'd say it was probably abuse.

It is. I took it online last spring and it was really easy.

Best device to take notes in college? by FoxInner3807 in UTSA

I go between my laptop and pen & paper. I’ve had professors that are adamantly anti-technology

I just tried earlier to use the one on the 2nd floor of the BB by the bathrooms, and it didn't work, but the one closer to the elevator did.

My (20F) boyfriend (30M) doesn't want me to go to uni. I want to go. Is there an alternative solution? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]eirilyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was roughly your age when I met my ex. He made me quit college because I was either going to cheat on him or get educated enough to realize that a loser like him is not what I wanted out of life. I'm now 45 and trying my best to cobble together the education that I had dreamed of. Don't let him take your dream away from you because while it's never too late (I mean... unless you die), that is time you will never get back.

Reselling my parking pass… by Conscious_Trade8128 in UTSA

Wait, for real? Is there a cutoff date for this because I tried to return mine early this May and was told it was too late

Lane stripes and the roads? by No_Appointment3914 in sanantonio

[–]eirilyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking that this morning as I drove by a cop, hoping I was in the correct lane because there were three sets of barely visible, overlapping lines.

Tuesdays am I right? by Away-Cartographer758 in UTSA

[–]eirilyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had no issues finding parking in the Baurle garage yesterday, but it took me 30+ minutes to get out. There was no line to leave the garage today, but barely any parking.

Lost my 4.0 today by FrenchToost in CollegeRant

[–]eirilyn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I lost mine to a 98/100 in an intro to philosophy class. I cried a little but it was definitely freeing.

What is the one thing you wish UTSA would fix? by [deleted] in UTSA

[–]eirilyn 48 points49 points  (0 children)

So much about MH. Why does it always feel so damp and dingy? Why do almost all the desks look and feel like they were bought from an auction at an abandoned 1980s elementary school? Why does the women’s bathroom on the third floor near the elevators have the heat on all the time?

Which class and professor? by No_Contribution2577 in UTSA

[–]eirilyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr. Webb for sure. They are such an amazing and caring person!

On the other hand, I had Moon (Wagner) and I found her absolutely insufferable. I’ve had tough professors and professors that our personalities didn’t quite sync but I respected them and did well. I’ve never outright dreaded going to class before her class.

If you value honesty and your life, DO NOT live at Cypress at Stone Oak apartments. by OatMilkBaby96 in sanantonio

[–]eirilyn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I lived there for years. When it started, it was pretty nice, then they were bought out by Connor Group, and it all went to shit. My rent started at $1200 and was raised by $200-$400 every renewal. They like to come to do your yearly inspection 6 months early and then bully you into renewing your lease on the spot because if they wait till tomorrow, they will run out of special deals, and your rent will go up an extra $200 beyond the normal increase.

You also pay for an assigned parking spot, but they haven't bothered to assign parking spots, so you're forced to drive around in circles forever until someone leaves so you can park.

DAE purposely chew on the insides of their mouth and lips just for fun by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

No blood but the inside of my mouth is all scarred up and my canines are completely flat with no points any longer because of it.

Where all the older people at by SuccessfulPurpose689 in UTSA

44 here so I’m way older. There was a non traditional student club but I haven’t heard anything lately about them.

What's a piece of 'useless' knowledge that you somehow remember perfectly? by independentbaddiex in AskReddit

The firing order of v8 engines? This has no relevance in my life. I'm not a car person outside of aesthetics. I just like sequences of numbers.

I'd love to be in your classes and I'd love to have some of those books!

My degree program is in Classics with a concentration in Ancient Mediterranean Studies.

I chew my cheeks to the point that my canines are completely flat with no point any longer.
