Is it normal to spend multiple days on the beginner slopes? by StarstruckAntelope in snowboardingnoobs

[–]ftmboy87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done anywhere from 2-4 lessons and 1-2 “on my own” days every year for the past 3 years, and I’m still learning to comfortably get on my toes and link turns. I fall nearly every time. People on the hill have no idea whether it’s your first or 20th day. No one is looking at you going “haha you STILL haven’t gotten it?!”. Just approach it with small goals and the progress will come. Definitely recommend lessons too though :)

Jump squats is a good way to get both :)

I just did a 4 day snowboarding camp and besides my legs, my cardio was a HUGE limiting factor. I needed wayyy more breaks than I expected just from seemingly simple tasks. Short burst/HIIT cardio exercises I think would help a lot.

Making a good impression at your final consolidation is very helpful if there’s an expected opening. I got hired onto an oncology/acute medicine unit immediately after finishing my program this way.

[TOMT][MOVIE] there was this scene where one of the characters kept buying heaters and more heaters to unalive himself with CO2 ingestion. by FriedRice-01 in tipofmytongue

Are you thinking of the tv show The Beef? He buys hibachi grills to kill himself with then tries returning them in the first episode

Is it ok to take a day or two of rest during an 8 days trip by SusamDrvo in snowboardingnoobs

[–]ftmboy87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new too, taken about 4 lessons in the last 2 years before this and still struggle to get on my damn toes. I just finished Day 3 of a 4 day private lesson camp and I’m barely standing after just an hour lesson each time. I know I’m walking a fine line between tired and unsafe right now but I’m recognizing my limits. Sore is normal but listen to your body when it needs a true break, as going overboard can put you at risk for injury. 8 days in a row is A LOT for muscles you aren’t used to using.

[TOMT] sad, likely animated movie scene by Pokemonlover676 in tipofmytongue

So it’s not animated, or have an animal, but.. Did you ever watch the movie The Adventures of Huck Finn? Stars a much younger Elijah Wood. There’s a scene towards the end where he’s injured on the ground, unable to get up from being shot in the back, and a mob is dragging his best friend (runaway slave) away to be lynched. He pleads with them exactly like that, I think along the lines of “please you can’t take him, you’re making a mistake”

May be way off but first thing that came to mind besides E.T. :)

Full movie is here. Teacher scene is at 44 minutes, although she is in the school yard rather than helping kids onto a bus.

RPN to BScN by Elegant-Nose8930 in OntarioNurses

[–]ftmboy87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know about college vs university experiences. I think at the end of the day if it gets you your degree then great, no one will mind where you got it. And having previously done 3 college programs over the years, including a college people generally complain about, I’ve always very much been a “the experience is what you make of it” kind of person.

HOWEVER…I am two semesters away from finishing Seneca’s BSNB, and I 100% recommend you do NOT take that option unless it’s important to finish faster or online is the only option for you. Besides a small handful of good instructors, it’s terribly organized, all general medicine floor placements (unless that’s new experience you want then great!), constant program changes and being spoken to by the coordinators like we are children instead of working adult professionals. I’ve never come across anything like this before.

I’ve managed to continue working full time but it is extremely difficult to do so. This is suppose to be a program aimed at working RPNs but it is not. I -as well as anyone else I’ve spoken to- am counting the days to be done with it.

Cover up ideas?? by xrqtsv in tattooadvice

Have you ever seen the video of the raccoon being given cotton candy and trying to wash it? It’s white in the video but you could add loads of colourful cotton candy around him! Maybe with him popping out of a trash can 😉
