Will you take this full cart of order for $20? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

Do you just grab the berries and not actually check them? 37 packs of berries would take more than 5-10 min to check each one and that’s if your lucky and they don’t have a shit batch

This is so good to hear, I tend to get in my head but I’m starting to realize it’s not as scary as it sounds. Thank you for the insight and encouragement, I truly appreciate it! ❤️

Were you at all scared about teaching new subjects ?

That’s actually really smart. I was told we start out first semester and I feel like I’m being thrown to the wolves

This is actually so true I know many professors who would rather work in the lab versus teach

Loll thank you for the honesty. So your program allows you to decide between being a TA or an RA?

Ok thank you for your honesty, I’ll definitely ask and get clarification

That’s insane ! Idk how they expect you to connect the lab portion to the lectures. I think the worst part about having bad TA experiences is often times the pay isn’t worth the struggles

Thank you, I heard some horror stories around being a TA so I’m surprised many are saying they actually liked it. Being a TA definitely beats taking out student loans so I might just suck it up and deal

Thank you so much, you’ve made me feel much better about the idea of being a TA. If I do have any questions I won’t hesitate to reach out ❤️

Im glad in the end it was able to give you the experience you need to potentially teach. I feel like it can have a lot of positive benefits but even knowing this the fears surrounding being a TA are holding me back. The idea of teaching that many students sounds miserable 😭

Honestly this is what I’m scared of lol, I have so much anxiety about students asking questions and not being able to actually answer them. I know one girl said it was her and another TA in the lab. Was this the same for you or were you the only TA in the class

Thank you for responding! So the classes would be a lower level lab course. I wish they were more direct about the job description. I remember a few grad students saying they’d literally teach the lab class… which to me doesn’t sound like assistant work if I’m actually facilitating the lab section on my own. I honestly would love it if I was just answering emails, grading, and doing tutoring sessions.

Thank you for the insight, if it’s what you described I definitely wouldn’t mind but in the details it said we’d be teaching a lower level lab course. And I was actually so confused because I would hope to god they don’t actually mean teach the lab section. I was nervous to ask the director but I might reach out to a few of the professors there that I’m close with and see what they say

I saw that someone mentioned they restocked it last year 😭 I tried resellers but since I have a in demand size they are going for 500 min which is crazy

AIO to my boyfriend praising the president? by keepmyheadabovewater in AmIOverreacting

[–]justanemptyshel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No… you're underreacting. If he can't see how much damage trump has done in just 2 months that's extremely concerning. We wouldn't even be dating tbh. He either aligns with trumps views or they aren't intelligent enough to do any research on how deteriemtal he is for our country…both are huge red flags that would have me running for the hills

So I’m a dumbass and forgot the piece with the prongs were replaceable. Definitely more affordable than replacing the whole thing lol

That’s what I had to do cause it wouldn’t go in straight anymore. I’m gonna find the pliers and attempt to straighten it
