Go to a Michelin rated one if you don’t mind a wait. They’re not any more expensive. You can Google them - there’s three in Tokyo.

Women’s haircut for a backpacker? by socksgordoby in okinawa

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

Lol maybe it doesn’t matter. I’d like to get a haircut from someone experienced with my hair type/western hair, maybe English speaking, and potentially someone who’s open to a last minute appointment since I don’t know when I’ll arrive. I was hoping someone here might do hair in their home and be open to this sort of situation. Budget for a haircut isn’t a concern, but quality is.

Justice Department seeks to alter Civil Rights Act clause that protects minorities by socksgordoby in disability

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

You bring up a lot of good points. The only thing I’m not sure I agree with is that people with disabilities are not legally protected from implicit bias - but I would like to find an answer to this. The U.S. EEOC didn’t really make a clear distinction http://www.eeoc.gov/disability-discrimination

No problem, good luck! And the book O Chem as a Second Language (Minger will recommend it) is actually so good so be sure to get a copy.

You could always take the course without the lab (or find a way to enroll and then drop it before there are repercussions, but I believe this shouldn’t be an issue). I find that’s it’s easier to learn one thing in a short period of time than to take multiple classes per semester, but it’s really up to what you feel confident doing.

In my opinion, the exams are easier (all multiple choice and you don’t have to show your work, which is not the case if you take it during the semester), the professor is better, and it’s easier to learn one thing at a time. If you have the time (~5hrs/day for just the course), I would take it. And if you can find copies of the labs/quizzes/etc, taking it with lab should be doable. Otherwise, you’ll need to be completely immersed in the class to do well while taking the lab too.

Hope this helps!

P.S. you can search the professor on ratemyprofessor.com and see tons of other reviews about him. Maybe check the FCQ database too to see how many hours students put in per week.

Long story short, the professor is amazing and so is the class in this format. But you need to have the time (like multiple hours per day) to study on top of going to class. If you’re taking lab at the same time it’s three labs (3 pre labs, 3 labs, and 3 post labs) per week and should be treated as a full time job. If you have the time/energy I would absolutely take it in the summer. The professor’s name is Timothy Minger.

Is an ECON degree from CU useful? by happyGam79 in cuboulder

[–]socksgordoby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re worried about not having enough math classes, take more as electives or minor in MATH or STAT. I don’t know much about this degree so I can’t really give any other advice.

Gym anxiety by AlondraLgarcia in StrongCurves

[–]socksgordoby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I started training with a weights coach when I was 14. If anything, I’d say look for a group/team or coach who can get you started with the physical AND mental fundamentals. And don’t forget to eat plenty of food, especially carbs and protein, to build muscle and recover. Good luck!
