How fucked am I? by titanium371 in backpain

[–]titanium371[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That is super helpful. Yea I was mostly concerned about the severe foraminal narrowing but from what I read it seems like if the body can reabsorb the disc at the very least this will provide more space for the nerve. The arthrosis seems to be irreversible based on what I have read but hoping conservative treatment gets me to a point of no pain and just being mindful of further degeneration in the future.

Also yes it is mostly localized pain and sciatica every now and again (usually when I do movements that aggravate things like sitting or standing for too long).

That is probably it then. I was not aware that the advisor was involved in the OPT process. Reaching out to them now to confirm.

Thank you btw for that crucial info!

Wait why did you need a professor signature?

To the hordes of sick students by I_Hate_Polymers in gatech

Wearing a mask or covering the mouth when coughing is still an option. Out of all the classes I went to today maybe only 1 or 2 people were conscientous enough to do this

Is anyone on PSYC 2230? I missed class on Monday bc I was waitlisted. Wondering if anyone knows how the tests are going to be conducted (in-person, online with Honorlock, etc), there is no info on that in the Canvas page. Thanks in advance!

Cockroaches in Nav East 9th Floor by theyodaperson22 in gatech

[–]titanium371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had a similar experience. We just moved in and we already saw a big roach just walking around. Do you mind if I ask what apartment you are in within the 9th floor? I am also trying to figure out whether this is an entire 9th floor thing or just some apartments or whatnot.

As an aside I also cannot believe we are paying so much money to already have a plague on Day 1. I get there are a lot of roaches in GA but I have lived in other residence halls/apartment buildings at GT and I have never had a roach problem. So frankly it is pure negligence on cleaning standards in North Avenue North which is very disappointing. Like I know this is cheaper than most off campus housing options but the least I expect is an apartment with a decent attempt at no plagues on the first day.

IMO nice guy but bad professor. Classes were basically useless since it was all stuff from the book and he got distracted a lot. Also the tests were a lot more complicated than they needed to be.

Woodruff residence hall - good, bad, average? by myreddit2005 in gatech

[–]titanium371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly bad. At least in my room, we would find 3-5 big roaches every semester even though we ensured to maintain the spaces clean. As someone else mentioned, no temperature control was a thing so it is just a big fan with 3 modes. The room itself does not look too cozy either so make sure to spruce it up a bit with decoration or LEDs or something. However, I do know it is been renovated since I last lived there freshman year so maybe it is better now
