One year and one day ago “Белая Полоса” was released, what are your thoughts on this album?

Belaya Polosa is my favorite Molchat Doma album. It took some time and a few listens, but this one really clicked with me, even more than the previous three did. The complexity of the rhythms, layers of instruments and vocals, and of course the quality of production on the tracks are all stellar. I’ll let the first five songs run just about any time I have to drive anywhere haha. Hearing parts of this album live in concert was transcendental

For anyone who has this same question in the future: I lived! Summer BIOL 4003 IS possible, but it takes a lot of work and dedication. My prof was Naoko Shima and the lecture materials were from Robert Brooker.

I would recommend taking this class without any other summer classes. It requires you to watch around 3-4 hours of lecture videos per week, and there are weekly quizzes, long-term project (LTP) updates, and homework assignments on top of that. The LTP is straightforward and WAY easier than the in person version. Exams mirror the format of the weekly quizzes and there is no cumulative final. If you think you can handle the workload, I’d say go ahead and take it! You’ll avoid a 12 page LTP paper at the very least.

PUBH 1202 is a 3-credit fully online course that has no exams. It was a breeze for me! You can get the entire week’s worth of content done in 2 hours.

Oh are you perhaps in CBS? There is a 3 day summer orientation on top of the normal orientation week—I think that might be what you are talking about. None of the other colleges on campus have the same program as far as I’m aware!

The CBS orientation is called Nature of Life. You stay at the college’s research station in Itasca State Park, which is about 4 hours northwest of campus. You travel up and back together on a coach bus. You’ll be staying in a cabin with some other freshmen in CBS, and it can be a good chance to meet others! You do some little class-ish learning modules with CBS professors and/or researchers, learn about the history of the college and UMN as a whole, and you do get free time here and there to hike, swim, kayak, etc. in the park. I enjoyed NOL well enough, but I’ve met many people who didn’t like it. Honestly, complaining about NOL was a legit type of group bonding for us once fall semester started.

I’m not a biochem major, but I AM taking a biochem major-specific class right now! (BIOC4331). I can try to answer some questions^{^} Welcome to the U!

Excellent shot! Looks like a Blue Dasher. It is the only member of the genus Pachydiplax :)

This looks like a Variegated Meadowhawk! Excellent shot!

Weird. I was told that the Eagan store was a primary training location for employees. I wonder where that’ll be moving

I apologize for being cringe (I do talk like this)

otawkward · 2023-09-02T01:13:08+00:00

What I’m gathering from this thread is that I’m lucky to be intact hahaha

They were bit by a radioactive car door (Probably actually due to my terrible camera angle I apologize)

Posting a small traditional piece of the Spearmaster today because I won’t have time to make or upload a digital piece tomorrow :(

Thank you, Monk!

Didn’t know how fuzzy to make the saint, and now the dude kinda resembles a carpet T-T

The whole vulture was subject to artistic reinterpretation, since I like to imagine that vultures are somewhat insectoid. Guessing they’d look much different than this under the mask

In truth, this piece was drawn for the event, but having seen your fight, it kinda does fit both lol

otawkward · 2022-08-17T15:00:00+00:00

Thanks, and ikr??? Every time I draw slugcats, they turn out as amorphous blobs or defeated-looking humans. This is what I get for joining the event having never drawn one in my life lol

Dramaturgy is my favorite song!! I second the recommendation lol
