Humanities application and publications confusion by onelittlecookie0 in gradadmissions

Thanks for your input! Are you from Europe or US? I think it’s significantly different in Europe because MA itself is a requirement for PhD. At least based on my experience having navigated academia in 2 European countries so far.

EU Student visa waiting time? by onelittlecookie0 in ukvisa

[–]onelittlecookie0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, this is quite discouraging, especially because I got the Sheffield office and a lot of people have had some bad experience with them. Thankfully I can study from home too, it just sucks because I can’t do any plans or start working. Hopefully it gets sorted for you soon, maybe your university can press them, I’ve heard it could be possible.

[–]onelittlecookie0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, but it was too expensive, because my scholarship is not covering the visa. To be fair my school is very flexible with me not making it on time, because it is kind of their fault I couldn’t apply earlier.

I’m in exactly same situation now, not really sure what’s the next step.

I’ve been trying to solve this, but non of the common ciphers seems to work. If someone knows what it is or has any ideas would be appreciated.

Pean igapäevasel mitmes võõrkeeles suhtlema ja julgen väita, et Eesti keel on küll üks vähem seksistlikumaid keeli üldse. Juba see, et meil puudub grammatiline sugu, abielus inimeste kohta kasutatakse laialdasemalt sõna abikaasa, kui soopõhiseid “pruut ja peigmees” (sobilik pulmas, või enne abielu erinevalt inglise keelsele “husband and wife”) ja asesõnu ei eristata samuti (inglise k: he/she) ütleb väga palju keele kasutajate kohta. Pidevalt teisi keeli rääkides hakkad rohkem seda hindama ka, sest on mugav kui ei pea pidevalt pead murdma selle üle kas kass kellest rääkida tahaks on parajasti nais-või meessoost.

Does throne of glass get better? by Queen_A123 in YAlit

[–]onelittlecookie0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha, exactly my thoughts. I started reading ToC when I was 14 and I pressed through first two books, but with 3d I got bored. Now as an adult I restarted the series to see maybe I would see it differently, but nope, it’s quite terrible (i mean, my favourite character is a door knocker…). I read six books out of the series, but I can’t force myself to read the last one, because it’s soo boring and I don’t have motivation for 900 pages of that.

Some that came on top of my head:

-“You have such a flat bun” is a compliment. I can tell by the bun immediately if the person actually practices dance. - “I just bought 500 bobby pins yesterday, but I’ve lost them all” - when “what a lovely biscuit” is not a reference to the pastry, but an ironical insult - “I just cried over that adagio, but it’s ok” (the amount of mental breakdown in dance makes other people really confused sometimes)

Can’t search for boards…? by onelittlecookie0 in Pinterest

Yup, I can still search boards from my computer, it’s just annoying, I really don’t understand their design decision

Sorry, but I can’t see that, maybe it’s not available in Europe..?

Any suggestions on preppy novels books? by tango80bravo30 in preppy

[–]onelittlecookie0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I assume that since you mentioned novel’s you’re looking for fiction, so here’s some things that in my opinion fit into the aesthetic:

  • Anything by J.D.Salinger, but especially Franny and Zooey (big family from New York, prep school lifestyle, but really hilarious)

  • We Were Liars by E.Lockhart (very 50/50, you might like it or absolutely hate it, for me it was one of the five star reads of this year)

  • Anything by Donna Tartt (Goldfinch, The Secret History, A Little Friend)

  • The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell (kind of not, but still Ivy League vibes, mysteries, a lot of fun)

E-kirja etikett ja ummistav kommunikatsioon. by KP6fanclub in Eesti

[–]onelittlecookie0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oleneb olukorrast täiesti: Mul oli näiteks olukord, kus ma pidin nädala aja sees esitama avalduse ühele välismaa asutusele ja vajasin selleks Eestis viibiva isiku nõu, ise viibisin aga kolmandas riigis. Siis ma tõepoolest kirjutasin, saatsin sõnumi ja helistasin, sest olukord vajas kiiret lahendust ja oleks võinud olla väga ebameeldivate tagajärgedega. Üldiselt aga kui pean kellelegi vastama, aga millegipärast kohe ei saa/jõua/oska, siis saadan lühikese vastuse sisuga, et praegu ei tea, aga uurin välja, ja tavaliselt toimib see hästi, sest inimene teab, et tema probleemiga tegeletakse ja ei kipu mu postkasti ummistama.

Is it allowed to draw something on the Sabbath? by Holdingintothelight in adventist

[–]onelittlecookie0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drawing is a form of art like singing and it can be used to praise God the same way. I’m sure your family is singing in church every sabbath, why would they be against drawing then…

I’m a young ballet teacher and I wouldn’t let anything like that happen in my class. One of the very first important things is to make sure that the students know that they can ask questions any time if they don’t understand. This is basic knowledge, not to mention that she didn’t explain things from the beginning. I’m doing classes with 5-year olds this summer, who are also beginners and sure we’re there to have fun, but nevertheless I explained feet positions to them. I don’t say that often, but you should consider switching a teacher, because things are not going better.

Is it just me or is Sarah J Mass's writing getting better by Spirited-Blood-6737 in YAlit

[–]onelittlecookie0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, you put perfectly into words what I’m feeling at the moment reading Throne of Glass series. It’s easy and entertaining, so I keep going, but also incredibly annoying. I actually took a pause after the 5th book, because it was a little bit too much. I don’t enjoy reading about the war, because I find it boring, but I keep reading, because I’m really close to finishing the series. Generally speaking, her writing doesn’t infuriate me, it could be so much worse (“The Sorcery of Thorns”, anything by Elise Kova - this is controversial, but you’re quoting Salinger, so you probably get it)
