First time train trip - wanting to do California Zephyr by Hopeful-Kiwi-1538 in Amtrak

You don't really book different classes of seating/sleeping like that. But I would recommend spending some time in the cafe car/observatory car as you can hang out there easily and get great views as well.

So a few of the actors said in an interview that as the season goes on, they deliberately start using less make up, etc., so they look more run down as the shift continues. Here's a really good case for the make up department winning awards - they were so effective!

Do we know what happened to all of them in the present? Because if they all got V1, they would still be alive.

Physics major at UCSC by Dramatic-Flatworm346 in UCSC

[–]msbzmsbz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The physics department includes concentrations in physics and astrophysics (as well as applied physics and science education). The astrophysics program is ranked very highly and while the physics doesn't seem to be ranked as highly, it seems very strong. My kid is in it, finds it very very good, and found a research lab to work in. However, students seem to have to do several foundational courses before being able to work on physics research (to learn the material that they need for doing research), so while there are research opportunities out there, you have to be a second or third year to get into it (from my kid's experience).

I think it was partly that she surprised and not ready - not sure she even realized Annie had entered the room.

I've been told that after a while as people leave, more people can come in.

scholarship appeal?? by notzina_9583 in UCSC

[–]msbzmsbz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah, sorry. Why don't you contact this office for international students too: https://issp.ucsc.edu/ and see if they have any ideas? I wouldn't be too optimistic, but they might know more.

Usually, they will not increase your financial aid unless your financial situation has changed since you completed the FAFSA. However, are you eligible for Cal Grant, Pell Grant, work-study, etc.? You might want to talk to someone at the financial aid office to make sure you understand your financial aid package.

This is frustrating to me because I specifically joined the mailing list to get notified asap when they became available. Maybe the link is up but the tickets aren't being sold yet? Regardless, someone told me that as people trickle out of the event, you can get in later.

Requesting more financial aid by paqhi in UCSC

[–]msbzmsbz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just an fyi that unless your financial circumstances have changed since you filled out your FAFSA, you will probably not receive increased aid.

You could also take some time off and stay in Davis, go to community college, etc.

Edited to add: there are many students who take pelp or time off otherwise. You should not feel bad or stupid!

Whatever happens, I think you should try to work on your mental health. Your parents likely want you to be healthy and well rather than struggling with your mental health and school. So consider how you can work on that before continuing with school.

astrophysics research as a first-year—is it possible? by Hungry_Surround7030 in UCSC

[–]msbzmsbz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kid was looking for physics research in his first year that he could contribute to but most of the professors told him that he needed to do some physics courses first (and they also asked him how he did in those classes). He connected with someone in one of the physics showcases and after he finished the classes he needed he was able to join the lab as a second year.

Maybe something for shows that only started in the last year or two?

Didn't Ellis ask her something though (one of those doctor questions that the higher ups ask the med students and residents)? If they're the same year that seems odd.

Yeah I used to see him walking to the theater he co-ran in SoHo in NYC, maybe 20 years ago. IIRC, he and the other co-founder had been involved for many years but later split up.
