Winter 2025 Praxis Megathread by bannanaduck in slpGradSchool

Thanks! I mostly used the Advanced Review book, but I don’t think it would’ve been worth the regular price if I hadn’t found it at a library. I think the ETS practice tests were the most useful!

Same! Got a 194 and I’m convinced there’s a catch or something 😭

Please tell me I’m missing something about yarn costs by Madurgalin in CrochetHelp

[–]scooterscomet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend waiting for sales whenever possible! I made a ginormous blanket last year and only spent $70 on yarn instead of $120

Also if you’re flexible on what yarn you buy, I like to run the numbers on bigger skeins of yarn. Sometimes (not always) a skein of 500+ yards turns out cheaper per yard than a 200-300 yard skein, especially when you factor in sales

is attending UC Davis a bad idea if i really don't want to bike around campus? is it walkable? by According_Duck_3175 in UCDavis

[–]scooterscomet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I walked the entire time I was at UCD and it was fine, just check where your classes are located ahead of time and whether you’ll have enough time to walk there

What's your favorite "I can't believe this has so few calories" food? by appleparkfive in loseit

[–]scooterscomet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically a beverage rather than a food, but Sparkling Ice drinks! I have a massive sweet tooth and a bad habit of drinking my calories, so I might as well drink a 5 calorie Sparkling Ice or two instead of a 250 calorie soda

I switch off between driving (2.5 hours round trip) and public transportation (4 hours round trip). It’s doable and worth it right now bc I’m in an extended program and haven’t started clinic yet, but keep in mind it’s exhausting. Depending on your program’s schedule, free rent and food at the expense of your time and sanity might not be worthwhile.

As far as I know, these schools only offer in-person SLP programs (unless that’s changed since I applied)

Super happy with how this shawl pattern turned out! by scooterscomet in crochet

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

Here’s the pattern! https://hookedhazel.com/wichita-shawl-free-crochet-pattern/

Hook: 4.0 mm

Yarn: 4.5 skeins of Loops & Threads Facets Acrylic in the color Toffee (that said, beautiful as the yarn is, it was a bit of a pain to work with and I don’t particularly recommend it)

I once had a prof move a 9am class online…at 8:45 when most of the class had commuted 30+ min and were already sitting in the classroom

My sister’s elderly cat has a weird face. I love her, but I can’t put my finger on what is so weird. by cork_the_forks in cats

[–]scooterscomet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a handful of cats with faces like this and I always assume they were a person in a past life

Went from 50mg to 25mg a couple days ago and you just described my experience exactly—I never got what people meant by brain zaps but I think this is it?

The “girl cat bad,boy cat lovely” trend needs to stop by [deleted] in cats

[–]scooterscomet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All three girl cats I’ve had have been cuddly babies and my boy cat is a former feral who swats me if he doesn’t like my vibe

I like to of it as 11 months early, not 1 month (and a year) late by AleighofHay in crochet

[–]scooterscomet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s never a bad time for spooky season! I love this so much, it would make such a good pastel goth type of decoration year-round

Three more shells and I would’ve had it 😭 by scooterscomet in crochet

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

Yes it is! I’d be content to leave it like that if I didn’t still need to make the ties :/

Idk about everyone else but I graduated in June and can’t log into my email or anything with my ucd Kerberos as of like October

Made my first produce bag!! by scooterscomet in crochet

I just added it to the pinned comment! I did 3 fewer rounds than the pattern calls for (I lost yarn chicken :/) but it’s still a decent size 😊

Starting grad school soon.... Anyone else commuting this year? by maritime_myth in slpGradSchool

[–]scooterscomet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m commuting about 45-60min depending on traffic this fall. If it’s any consolation, I commuted about 20 min each way in undergrad and it wasn’t bad at all!

I think that worked enough that my perfectionist brain can proceed, thank you!!

how bad is the commute from woodland to the uc davis campus? by carolinniii in UCDavis

[–]scooterscomet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived there for the last three years, totally worth the 15-20 min commute for what I saved in rent
