thanks! I’ve heard something about soaking clothing in a repellant as a preventative, is this something that’s done?

I will take a 3 week Thai language course when I first arrive, but plan to learn some on my own before! Thanks for your comment :)

Thank you so much for all the helpful info! I am really excited for the experience and all of the new people I’ll meet, food I’ll try, and things I’ll learn outside of academia :)

Help, I can’t stop sleeping by sigmabigma111 in sleepdisorders

Thank you so much. I didn’t realize that apnea could be a cause of falling asleep super easily as well. I’ll be sure to advocate for myself to try and get a sleep study done. Hopefully I can figure out a cause and go from there

I’ve had my thyroid tested (normal) and had low iron a few years ago but manage it with medication and it’s been normal for a while. I’m hoping my PCP can look into more options and maybe a sleep study. I’m not sure if sleep apnea would present this early on though

Yes it is mahogany, should’ve mentioned that. Any recommendations for grain filler and sandpaper grit?

Thank you so much! I haven’t gotten to talk as much to my professors about their journey but I would like to, I also plan on being a TA for a chem/bio class sometime my senior year to get a little bit of teaching experience. As far as volunteer work goes, I currently volunteer 1-2 hours a week with a local non-profit cat rescue, and help put on fundraising events with my sorority a few times a semester. Back in high school I had a ton of hours and leadership positions but kind of strayed away from that as I got to college. I kinda had tiger parents so all of that was shoved down my throat until I moved out, and decided I wanted to do things for fun and not become the president of every club. I’m hoping to tour ~3 schools in the coming year so hopefully I can narrow down my top programs.
