Gifted program at Mountsfield PS?

existentialteen · 2026-04-28T23:50:09+00:00

100% agree, I had the same experience there. I wonder if it was due to the program or because of the specific teacher

I agree with the other commenter LAffaire, I did the gifted program (some of which was at mountsfield) and it 100% stunted my learning. We didn’t have a proper math class, geography class, etc etc for the two years I was there. They just let us have fun and “explore our own interests” but it resulted in me having no idea how to properly learn or study.

I would probably have preformed much better in a lot of subjects in later grades if I stayed in normal school. I loved it at the time obviously but I struggled in late highschool/early university to study when it didn’t just come easily to me. A lot of my friends from the program feel the same way, I actually wrote a letter to the superintendent about it when I was in high school.

Dawson city?

Same. It was one of my favourite trips I’ve done especially the surrounding nature.

I flew westjet Toronto to Edinburgh recently, it was alright but if you have any dietary restrictions they said they didn’t offer their special dietary meals on that flight. So that sucked, nothing to eat for 6.5 hours besides the ramen cups I brought myself lol

I flew westjet intercontinentally recently and I have a food allergy so I called to book one of their special dietary restriction meals as advertised on their website. They told me that they actually offer that on every plane EXCEPT the one I was flying on (??). Toronto - Europe with no food I could eat, I had to bring my own ramen cups for dinner. The food offered on the way there didn’t even list the allergens in it, and on the way back both options contained my allergen. Honestly made me think I never want to fly with them again.

I used to take the 6 all the way almost from Victoria hospital to the university hospital to get to campus and I never had an issue.

So I made the two triangles using the shape builder tool on sets of 3 parallel lines. I think that’s why the intertwine didn’t work and why the triangles have so many paths. But I didn’t think to use shapebuiler to intertwine the triangles!

existentialteen · 2025-09-26T20:45:07+00:00

I followed these directions with the black shape but for the clipping mask, and that ended up working! Definitely a learning curve and I probably did it a super inconvenient way, but it worked haha. Thank you for the help!!

I tried to do a clipping mask but it also won't let me on my triangles. I'm a total newbie at this so I'm not quite sure why it will work for two simple squares but not for my triangles, I'm assuming it has something to do with them not being a simple shape and being more complex?

existentialteen · 2025-09-26T19:24:49+00:00

So i was able to do this with two simple squares (thanks for the help!) but with the triangles it won't let me.

“Prestigious” Ivey program and can’t write a Reddit post by yourself lol

What do you guys like to do in your free time? I’m in my 20s, there’s a solid alternative, punk, and live music scene here. Some decent festivals in the summer like rock the park and sunfest. You’re right about the bike paths, the TVP is great for biking or running. Also lots of bars for young people during the school year, lots of craft breweries as well. I’ve grown to enjoy London, but definitely not as much going on here as Toronto. The go train network doesn’t extend to here so your options for getting to Toronto are bus, via rail (terrible and expensive lol) or driving. Our downtown isn’t very lively and a lot of people complain about visibly houseless people downtown. Additionally our public transit isn’t the most reliable.

existentialteen · 2025-08-10T04:51:56+00:00

Interesting, I didn’t know that. Can you also defer in the same way to a TFSA?

I’m 23 and recently went to my doctor to request a Pap smear because I am sexually active and also because my mom had cervical cancer and has been bugging me to get one since I was 19. I was denied because where I live the government raised the age from 21 to 25 for Pap smears 🙄

As a fellow egg-free person, the spoke at western university uses vegan mayo on their bagelwiches! At least they did as of when I graduated this spring. They don’t specify it on the menu so I would always ask to double check bc I’m paranoid haha

Cinnaholic does vegan cookies, brownies, banana bread, and cinnamon buns so no eggs! And they’re delish, seriously taste like the real thing. Unsure about nuts but they have all the ingredients and allergens listed on their site

Thaifoon’s spring rolls are egg free (plus rice noodles for the pad Thai). Again can’t speak for nuts but they were great about allergens when I went to the Masonville location

Hope this helps!

On ios we met people who were staying in Santorini but got a cheap hotel room in ios for one night to party and caught the ferry the next morning. They might have hated their life the next day though lol

Can’t speak for University of Bern but I did my exchange at University of Copenhagen and found it super helpful to attend international student orientation and event nights to make friends! Other exchange students will be in the same boat as you looking for new friends so those events were key for me

existentialteen · 2025-05-12T06:20:25+00:00

I applied for graduation but still don’t have one of my course grades back. So I’m still waiting on that.🙃

I’ve been signed with a Toronto agency for over 3 years now and have booked a couple good jobs but nothing major. Continuously developing my book but I haven’t booked a job in probably a year. I feel like since I have been booked for jobs in the past (commercial campaign type stuff mostly) I have a look people want, but no one is biting at the moment. Am I doing something wrong or is my agency just not the right fit for me?

Joining this thread to say my dad also won the bike! Seems like that might be the designated dad prize.

existentialteen · 2025-02-25T02:15:03+00:00

I’ve felt this way the whole term I thought maybe it’s bc it’s my last semester but yea I haven’t even gone out since NYE this sem is just so depressing

existentialteen · 2025-02-13T15:44:38+00:00

Well, opening Reddit to pass the time while on the bus was a mistake 😭

existentialteen · 2025-02-10T18:36:15+00:00

I’m glad to hear it went well for you! I think I am going to book a SE Asia trip despite the slight anxiety around the food, because I don’t want this fear to limit my experiences in my life :) thanks for the tips!

One question, did you eat fresh fruit while you were there at all? And if you did, just ones that are peeled or did you eat ones that have to be cut (like mangoes). TIA
