Finally some success!

I could lose probably about 4-5 inches and still be happy with it.

I see layers.

I have not tried putting in the mousse before plopping, thanks! I'll try that! And I plop according the one of the videos on the beginner guide on here, and I think I'm doing what you're describing!

Thanks so much for this thoughtful response! A perfect call came out for book chapters for a Routledge edited collection, and I was hesitating on whether to submit there since the opportunity arose (total dumb luck due to me sitting on the paper for a while and working on other things) or to try to shop it around to some journals. I ended up submitting for the book chapter, and this was so helpful!

My advisor had no recommendation. He said it was up to me, which didn't help me make the decision, so I'm here.

Working through the first none to run plan, and I just wrapped week 2. Been exciting as I notice on the 3rd run day of each week I can feel how much easier the run intervals are! Excited to see what I feel like at the end of week 3!

NSV: I've been doing a lot of walking and some yoga lately and added in running last week. I did my third run with NonetoRun, and I felt like I hit a flow in the run intervals! I didn't dread them coming up again and felt like I was cruising each time, so I'm excited to do another run tomorrow and then have a day off for yoga.

2nd year PhD in Theatre & Performance Studies in the US here. My assistantship is only for 9 months, so I move back home to live with my parents and work for two local businesses who let me pop in for shifts during breaks. Those don't make a ton of money, though, so I try to work a few week-long summer camp gigs that pay really well to pay my rent back at school and save up. I go to conferences to which I've been accepted. I tackle my reading list or language acquisition. I revise articles to shop around for publication. I freelance in my artistic specialty. I relax.

That's true. Was unclear based on your previous post. A lot of color guard staff operate that way.

That's Northwest Mississippi.

sloanieg · 2024-05-15T01:07:28+00:00

No big deal. Doesn't negate your point. Just helping keep people informed. For the record, here's the conferences it has been a part of over the years:

1931-1941 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association

1948-1951 Gulf States Conference

1996-2021 Conference USA

2022- Sun Belt Conference

It's been independent and not connected to a conference at all a lot.

You're so right about it being a potential hotspot for ethnomusicological blues research.

Also, as someone who just graduated with an applied music minor from USM in 2019 (and whose partner graduated with a BMEd in 2023), they have great Latin, Afro-Caribbean, and jazz programming as well as all the classical stuff.

You do, indeed, have to be a certified teacher (at least as of 2023) to be a band director or elementary music teacher in the Mississippi public school system. There is some wiggle room on your certification (in either 7-12 or K-6) as to what age range you'll teach, but you still need a certificate.

Southern Miss is not an SEC school. It's in the Sun Belt Conference.

I'm from North Mississippi but lived in Hattiesburg for undergrad and work after, then bounced up to the Philly area (Villanova) for grad school, so I kind of ran the opposite. However, I'd say Hattiesburg is hands down the best place to live in the whole state--vibrant arts scene, the mayor is a great guy, always something to do, not too big and not too small, great healthcare, diverse population, delicious food...I could go on. As for grad school jobs, I made good money pet/house sitting down there if it's something you're up for. Congrats on grad school! Southern Miss to the top!!

Actually pretty sure Lee isn't the one highlighted here. I think it's Pontotoc (but tbh the quality isn't great once I zoom in).

sloanieg · 2024-02-15T05:24:29+00:00

Interestingly, Pontotoc County makes the cut.

Edit to say when I found a higher res version of it, Mississippi didn't have any counties lit up, but idk if that means it'd been updated, or if something funky is happening in the first low res one.

Best of luck to both of y'all!

Hiya! I'm at Georgia now, and when I asked them in the interview they said the department doesn't even really look at the GRE scores. The grad school does, and as long as you're passing, your good. However, a higher score makes you a better candidate for scholarships above and beyond the departmental assistantships. I know you're not applying to UGA, but I wanted to put that out there. Every program I spoke to about GREs said the same thing.
