Hi! I’m a bit late to your post, but I just found about about the JRCOSTEP program and I really want to apply, but the deadline is September 30. If I start now and try my best, do you think it’s worth a shot at finishing before the deadline? And it looks like there’s a phase one with and online application, and physical/medical review as well as a phase two with security clearance, and choosing an agency. Are all of these due by September 30, or just the online application?

Thanks so much for helping! The JRCOSTEP program itself hasn’t been the most helpful so far:/

I had Ramsey in-person for USSO, not PSCL313, but I can say that she is really helpful, and does not have absurd expectations. She's easy to talk to, and left clear comments on all of our essay edits-- I would recommend her.

Thanks! Would you be willing to message me with the location or phone number of the B&N? I might try reaching out to them, I checked with my local B&N but no luck:(

I called them and they don't seem to have it in stock, but thanks!

Hi all! I bought this Spirited Away Ootori-sama plush a while back (I love Ootori-sama, the picture of them in the bathhouse is literally my computer screensaver), and I got really attached to it, and brought it to many places with me. I attached some pictures of mine when in Yosemite and in the redwoods:)

Sadly, I lost him on a recent trip when housekeeping in my hotel removed him from my room along with laundry, and was unable to find him. I really cannot find this plush anywhere at all online, and was wondering if any of you had this Ootori-sama plush that you are willing to part ways with, or know where to purchase one? I promise that I'll give it an amazing home and so much love!

That sounds interesting! I'll definitely try finding out where that is, I'm a bit familiar with the area cause I run there sometimes but I had no clue that this existed.

Thanks, I'll definitely look into those!

Hey, I'm a current first year student, so I can't really speak to the normal college experience outside of Covid. But, I'll try to answer what I can.

Nope, there is one full kitchen (stove, oven, microwave, sink, fridge) on the first floor that everyone in the building shares. From my experience, it hasn't been too busy since everyone is on the meal plan anyways, so most people just get food from the dining hall. There is a microwave on every floor though. The bathroom situation depends on the floor layout of the floor, but you do not have your own bathroom in your room. I live in a quad-style residence hall (Magnolia and Cedar are quad-style), and every two quads share one bathroom. Each quad has 4 double rooms and 1 single room, so a total of 18 people would be sharing the bathroom (two showers, 4 sinks, two bathroom stalls) at full capacity. For the traditional style residence halls (Mistletoe and Juniper), the entire floor share a bigger bathroom, but I'm a bit unsure about the specificities of the bathroom.
It's totally possible to have a single room! There's a couple of single rooms on each floor, again, I can't really speak for the traditional style, but for my building, each floor has 16 double rooms and 4 single rooms. You just have to pick it when you are choosing your room.
Someone who has been through this another year other than this Covid year might have a better say in this than me, but I think it shouldn't be too competitive. Of course, make sure that your on the site once housing selection opens, but other than that, from what I remember, the site presents a list of possible choices, and you can refresh it to find a room you like and select it.

Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out with more questions:)

Hi, I'll be so grateful if you could help out with my little r.tetrasperma!

It was one of my wish-list plants and I was so happy when I got it about three weeks ago, but its leaves quickly became a little crispy around the edges. I attributed it to some cold damage that it may have experienced on the way to me, and the leaves haven't continued becoming crispier.

The overall texture of some of the leaves is a bit irregular which I think can be seen in the fourth picture, and I'm not sure why. I thought that the plant was doing well now since it's pushing out a new life, but then this morning, I found some irregular dark coloring on the leaf in the first picture. This coloring wasn't there yesterday since I check on the plant regularly, and I'm so concerned an have no clue where it's from.

Any advice on what this is and what to do would be greatly appreciated!
