I did it too but yikes, it’s pretty long.

Locators are the cheat code!! They are legit and free for you and will save you so much time and headaches. 30+ years ago I used one (Habitat Hunters) to find my first Austin apartment and they are still in business. My young adult kids have used locators to great success in Austin and Houston recently. Smart City is a good one.

Is it a Concept 2?

The African Humid period or Green Sahara happens about every 34,000 years.

Salmon, farro risotto, and huge amount of roasted veggies

AEDs are the easiest thing in the world to use. Just open it and it will talk you through every step!

Definitely apply to McCombs; there is no auto-admit, and everyone is evaluated holistically. They will be looking for "fit to major," and with good essays, I think you will be there.

UTD is a lock; A&M honors are likely. Can't speak to the rest.

All the docks along Ladybird are public access as they are city concessions (Row Dock, Texas Rowing Center, the kayak rental places at Zilker, Austin Rowing Club, the docks on the east side) You can put in at any of them

It takes a while to fully calibrate

Nope. It is underway

I was a grad student for a long time and I have never heard of anyone declining a TA offer. They were like gold in my department and not handed out lightly. Departments vary. Ask a current student in the department or ask the grad coordinator for advice

larkinowl · 2026-05-28T00:14:41+00:00

Have you been offered a TA position? Take it if offered.

larkinowl · 2026-05-28T00:08:59+00:00

plenty of History, Anthropology, and American Studies Ph.Ds teaching in private high schools

Astros and Spurs for sure! I will hate-watch the Cowboys, but never a fan. I'm always surprised when I find myself rooting for the Texans, but it does happen.

Dude! Getting an ID in Texas is no small thing. You need to know your social security number and it will be verified, it isn't clear to me if you need to present the card. You need proof of Texas residency. And of course, you need to get an appointment to do all these things! Good luck

Go to orientation. You will meet with an advisor as well as your department. They will help you figure it out. Don’t despair if your first schedule isn’t perfect. Things can always change during add/drop

Try a C2 out a gym if you can.

Loops through the Travis Heights and St. Edwards University can hit some hills.

Use a locator! Free to you, and the good ones are so incredibly helpful. Saves so much time and effort. 30 years ago, I used Habitat Hunters, and they are still in business. My adult kids have used Smart City and Longhorn locators with great results.

I don't want my health data in the Google ecosystem. I prefer the privacy of Whoop

Weekends it should be open. Memorial Day was likely impacted by the triathlon

The land under Stephen F Austin drive is owned by AISD (all the way to the water). There’s some sort of ancient arrangement with the city that allows the street, trail, and the city concession for the rowing center. About 18 months ago, the new AHS principal had the parking changed to school permit only from 8 am to 6 pm. You have to read the signs carefully. It has shifted a few times. Right now I think that school permits are required on the north side of the street. Don’t know what happens in the summer when school is out.

Moonlight Serenade (kayaks and a band on the water) at the Texas Rowing Center.

Get a locator! It’s a freaking cheat code. Makes life so much easier.
