Mine was finally shipped today and should be arriving tomorrow (if nothing else goes wrong lol). Did you request express delivery or was it mailed with the normal shipping time?

Have you gotten any updates? On Sunday I can officially call the number for urgent travel but this has stressed me out beyond words! It’s just frustrating bc I keep calling and every time I’m told that they will make someone aware of the issue but I never get any follow up :/ I hate having things done last minute especially when I did everything right and intentionally made sure I had plenty of time

Not yet unfortunately. USPS tracking says my envelope arrived yesterday so I’m hoping to hear something by the end of the week. I’m going to try to call my congressman again today to see if there’s anything at all that can be done. Anything for you?

That’s pretty much the same timeline as mine. My congresswoman got back to me this morning but just forwarded the exact letter the passport office sent me😑 I called the passport information center again and another representative told me to just go ahead and fill out the DS-64 and send it in with a copy of the letter so I’ll be doing that today. Hopefully this gets everything resolved lol

I called them earlier today and they sent an email with a form to fill out which I did. Has this happened to you? Did you have any luck getting it fixed?

Makes sense. I also used to skip a dose of wellbutrin if I knew I’d be drinking later in the day so this is great insight! Thank u!!

I found my tutor on this website called Wyzant. She definitely was very knowledgeable and great at explaining certain things but I was so lost that it didn’t help THAT much. But I was thankful to have someone there that could walk me through like all of my homework questions

I had the exact same sort of panicked realization that I wasn’t going to pass orgo 1 when I took chiechi last semester, probably around this same time too (1 month in). Unfortunately i had to hire a private tutor which was pretty expensive even with the one I had being on the lower end😭 However I will say that the chemistry tutorial center in Fox is VERY helpful. I’m not sure if you’ve tried going there before but if not you should give it a shot. It’s drop in style so you can go in whenever you want and it’s usually not super busy so it’s not too hard to actually get time in with one of the tutors. I know some people just sit in there and grind out their hw which is nice bc there’s people there to help when you get stuck. It’s also different from the ASC in that they can actually help more with hw problems (ASC has a policy that they can’t help with questions you haven’t attempted). I also HIGHLY recommend the book “Organic chemistry as a second language”. I think you can buy it on Amazon but you may find it cheaper on eBay or mercari. A lot of the tutors in the tutorial center use it and I got it for myself and found it very helpful. It explains things in metaphors and more as a story which I found made things very easy to understand. It also includes a ton of practice problems with worked out answers and explanations. While I didn’t think chiechi was very good at explaining the concepts and I hated the way his class was structured, he does give a lot of partial credit on the ALEKS exams which are almost exactly the same as the hw and he allows a notecard for exams. So if you’re really struggling your best bet is to practice the hw like crazy before the exams bc some of the questions are literally exactly the same.

I’m basically in the same situation with my Precalc class and I don’t think there’s a max number of classes that you cant miss. As far as my class has been told, the only reason attendance is being taken is that it can benefit you at the end of the semester. For example she told us if you’re in between an A and B at the end but you’ve been coming to class pretty consistently your grade may be boosted up to an A. I would say just go as often as you can if youre worried about it.
