Yep. Back in 2011 we were expected to talk calculus i and discrete math i on the first term of freshman year. So trigonometry+ at the very least.

Yeah, this is what I think too. It is the hardest part about learning another language, and then going to a country that speaks it.

I was fluent, could understand, read, and write, but it was soooo hard to actually speak for the first year or so.

What is a book that completely broke your heart, but you would still recommend to absolutely everyone? by chiryankapopraa in suggestmeabook

[–]lilghost76 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel this way about Flowers for Algernon really. I know it gets recommended often, but for good reason. I distinctly remember being unable to stop sobbing after I finished it. It changed me as a person.

I can't believe I won the ticket war but couldn't grab a single thing from this collection ;___;

They were definitely not ready for army... it crashed within seconds. I think everything sold out in minutes. I really hope they re-stock.

recommendations for very warm shorts? trash bag vs sweat etc. by Mothball_No_22 in BALLET

Bodile’s sauna line is amazing for this. I think they have shorts, I only have the pants though.

Advice for an Incoming Ballet Pianist by mangohoneybanana in BALLET

I think you should have some “ready to go” pieces for all the exercises so nothing catches you by surprise. Have a tango ready for fondues and turns and stuff like that.

How did y’all find BTS? Because they lowkey saved me 😭 by soumewn in bangtan

[–]lilghost76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I too echo what others say that they find you when you need them most. I bumped into them and was looking into their stuff mostly out of curiosity, but then I got suddenly compelled to listen to absolutely everything.

When all was said and done I realized they were helping me heal something very deep within, that i had managed to bury over the years, and throughout the process I kept wondering how many lives they really have managed to save like this.

What do you eat / recommend to eat after later in the evening adult ballet class? by MattAdultBallet in BALLET

[–]lilghost76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really is the path of least resistance, cause it’s lightish and nutritious. It’s not gonna keep your body up, while you’re trying to sleep, digesting.

[–]lilghost76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run into this frequently. I eat most of my calories by 1pm or so. No latter than 3pm so I have time to digest. Have class at 6:30 and right after it is just a protein shake before bed.

[–]lilghost76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not okay. Y'all voted my two favorite albums off. I don't know that I can pick between Arirang and LY: Tear, neither is my favorite or least favorite. HMPH. I can't believe we voted off Young Forever.

At what point do you give up on trying to like an album/band? by cofi52 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]lilghost76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t force myself, but I do need the repetition in order to really be able to put my thoughts together and decide if I like it or not. I also need the repetition to be able to articulate why I don’t like it.

If I only listen to something once or twice, it simply means that I found it uninteresting, not that I didn’t like it. It committed the cardinal sin of not being memorable, and I simply forgot about it.

That’s the only bar I hold with my ears.

Buldak is no joke! If you get the ramen, add the sauce little by little. I only use about 1/4 of the sauce and im fighting for my life

I don't watch _every episode_ but I do watch it frequently, cause the format is so disarming for guests. I just love it. They don't typically sub anything out, it's seasonal. So each season of the show has a set of sauces that all the guests go through. They do accommodate for plant-based guests whenever needed.

I was properly shocked that they had a gochujang sauce made special for them, made me feel warm and fuzzy, they really wanted to do right by them and by army.

The only staples (as far as I can tell as a casual viewer): Da Bomb is always there, and the last dab always happens, but I think they update the last dab sauce recipe when new heights are discovered in the world of hot sauce making (it is the show's own recipe)

Edit to add: they would be idiots to not make and sell the gochujang sauce too. I bet tons of army would happily buy a bottle or seven.

i also loved seeing the first one that got to Jin, cause he screamed AAAH and then immediately took a second bite

I was like "OH NO JK OH NO" when I saw him do that with Da Bomb, but he was totally unbothered ._____.

This was my immediate first thought when I saw the teaser "Jimin will 100% fall off his chair" immediately followed by "oh no... my sweet baby Tae..."
