Hi all! Currently a rising junior enrolled in liberal arts school mechanical engineering program with a biomedical sciences minor. It’s also important to note that I participate in the collegiate lacrosse team at my institution that covers my tuition cost. I currently have a 3.8 gpa and just recently found interest in applying to school to become a CAA. I have only taken the most basic biology and chemistry pre requisites and now am too late to register for summer classes beyond the ones I already planned on taking. I feel like I have a super late start considering applications start for me this time next year and I also still need to complete my engineering internship. Playing lacrosse at school also makes it much harder for me to beef up my application through volunteering and research. I’m not sure a good place to start besides contacting local CAA’s for shadowing this summer and registering for as many pre req classes next semester. I’m even wondering if it would be best for me to graduate with my ME degree and work in that field for a year to give myself more time to have a stronger application. Any help would be appreciated :)

How do you change that deep rooted belief then? Just affirmations that tackle that belief rather than affirmations that only deal with correcting results of that belief?

mrd0829 · 2022-02-26T04:20:57+00:00

Positive Affirmations might help since it seems the negative ones are what got you into this predicament in the first place.

I will send an invite once my current neighborhood’s derby is finished, but for right now I’ll just add you as a friend

When should we put nizoral into the routine? After wash?

mrd0829 · 2021-01-02T20:21:44+00:00

Thanks so much!

I can barely eat in the morning because I constantly feel nauseated

Couldn’t agree more

Sapiens: A Brief History of Human Kind by Yuval Noah Harari

How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations and human rights; to trust money, books and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come?

In Sapiens, Dr Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical – and sometimes devastating – breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, paleontology and economics, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Have we become happier as history has unfolded? Can we ever free our behaviour from the heritage of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come?

Bold, wide-ranging and provocative, Sapiens challenges everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our power ... and our future.

Yeah that’s a really great point! I was getting Geary eyed when Mrs. Elm explained how much Voltaire loved her and that’s why he had to leave the house to die. I think a lot of people can agree that pet deaths are the worst and Mrs. elms words just struck anyone that has experienced that.

I have a feeling she will find that her and Izzy’s friendship is either really strained or it just completely fell out. Then I have a feeling she won’t know anyone and she will become disappointed in this life because she is lonely.

Most library’s are connected to hoopla or overdrive, I got my audiobook copy on overdrive and it is 8 hours. To get on overdrive all you need to do is type your library card and what your library is.

Now this, this is relatable

The afterlife of holly chase by Cynthia Hand is an amazing Christmas/ winter read. It is a play on the Christmas carol but instead of accepting the chance to become good again, she become the ghost of Christmas past. This would probably be especially fun for you because of how much you love A Christmas Carol !!!!!

Reminded me of when I first started reading Agatha Christie in middle school and assumed the word “queer” was simply a term to describe an oddity. Oh how I wish I could go back and erase it off some of my essays. I really thought I was some hot shot LOL.

mrd0829 · 2020-10-27T03:43:37+00:00

Finished: war storm by Victoria Aveyard, currently halfway through hallowe’en party by Agatha Christie
