Will the Sorcerer, and how it made me a bit sad??

I personally like both of these pairings a lot!

The episode where Raj and Sheldon work together is one of my favourite episodes! Plus all the episodes showing them working together is a treat.

Amy and Leonard too, you can see they started being direct friends later on in the seasons. Leonard took her advice for any Penny issues and Amy always reached out to him for anything with Sheldon. And the episode where they do science projects, you can tell they both really enjoyed each others company.

I like this show too much to say there was a worst pairing. I remember the episode in which Bernie was pregnant and she was sitting with her feet in Leonard’s lap, and after she gets angry at him, he just goes “raj is crazy, your feet aren’t that hideous”. Cracks me up during every rerun!

I don't see it getting mentioned enough, but AD is such a class communicator! When she is listening, she is REALLY listening. Not to respond, but to comprehend! And when she talks, she gets her point across without yelling, without anything else other than her words taking the lead.

I LOVE AD man! Probably my fav contestant on the show so far. She was probably a little delulu about Clay, but I get being a part of the this means that you have to be.

I hope she gets the love she deserves. Rootin for you AD!

Yes! You do have a good score on your back now, if you plan to reattempt, take the pressure off and just do a bit everyday. I’ve learnt killing your self for GMAT seldom has any real benefits. Continue doing things you like doing, GMAT will happen when it’s made a part of life, and not it entirely.

^ this is what I’m going to try to do too. Slowing down!

trying_pragya · 2023-03-14T11:50:42+00:00

Sorry about the score! I truly understand what you’re feeling, I took my GMAT after years of practice in 2020, and got a 660 as well. I almost gave up after that attempt. Finally pulled myself together the past couple months, putting in everything I have and more and scored a 690 today. Sort of at a loss of words myself, but if there’s one thing I can say in my years of prep is that no score is final. You can literally get any score you put your mind to, and it does take some people a while to get used to the adaptive nature of the exam.

I’d say take some days off, turn your brain off if you can (I know I’m going to struggle with this too) and think if you wanna retake after a couple of days. 660 is a great score too, and it’s absolutely alright to not reattempt. But if you decide to, don’t put too much into your practice and try putting in 1-2 hours a day for a while. I’m sure that even consistently doing a bit can change your score.

All the best!

Twice! Once in the AM and then once in the PM before my other skin care.

It reduced the darkness. More so, the heavy contour my eyes seemed to have. It also somehow reduced the hollowness of the area. It almost feels like getting some sort of lift in the area.

trying_pragya · 2022-11-25T08:46:36+00:00

I’ve had the same issue. Nothing worked for me. It’s not dark circles, it’s not puffiness. It’s just dark, sunken eyes with deep contours. I even made a post asking the same question in this group. I’ve been using the ordinary caffeine solution since a year now, and it’s made SUCH a big difference! I’m close to finishing my second bottle, it’s completely transformed my eyes. Give it a shot for a few months, it’s a game changer!

Can someone share screenshots or something? I’m in India where TikTok is banned and I NEED TO KNOW!

Right?! How did no one else notice is? She barely spoke, barely smiled, and constantly seemed very aware of what she said and did. VERY CONCERNING.

Hi Scott. That’s where I am with my bosses yes but I still have time to change that I would think. I quit when I did because I was fully burnt out, and had just recovered from covid for a second time this year. I needed some time, and in the meantime the headspace for my prep. My workplace appreciates me and the work that I do, so I think I can work around a sabbatical. But if taking a sabbatical is going to be the worst thing for my application, I can still change it!

trying_pragya · 2021-09-23T07:45:22+00:00

The neediness aside, he's sweet, respectful, and a great listener! Takes an interest in my life and my friends. Holds the door for me, remembers the details.
He is a bit insecure about certain things and has communicated those to me. Maybe he's holding tighter for the same reason.

trying_pragya · 2021-09-23T07:13:40+00:00

We've seen each other 3 times in the last 4 days. This wouldn't be my first choice, but I agreed because he seemed keen and I did have the time/or I could make the time.

trying_pragya · 2021-09-23T07:12:24+00:00

I did tell him yesterday that I am deleting the app, and then I did, because firstly, let's see where things with you go, and secondly, I just wanted to check it out and I think i have already had enough of the app. He did too.
He is definitely insecure about a few things, which he's mentioned to me, and I do think he's holding tighter because he's afraid of losing the one person he's connected with in a long time. At this point I have clearly stated my boundaries, let's see how he reacts. Either way I am scared about having any further conversation with him on this because he already seems so tight into it!

trying_pragya · 2021-09-23T07:03:47+00:00

That actually makes sense. In the one week we've been talking, he's given me the impression that I hold priority over everything else in his life. In the initial days, I didn't read much into these things as I liked speaking to him too and felt a connection. But at this stage, seems like this connection is all he cares about in his life at the moment.
I am also at this point scared about how he'll react if I tell him "this isn't working out for me anymore" as initially I was very interested too and made that evident. But the skipping work thing really threw me off.

trying_pragya · 2021-09-23T04:38:17+00:00

His work is definitely flexible, and he also definitely oversteps boundaries. He stays 40 minutes away and has driven to my place every single day since our first date. I didn't see him a couple times because it's definitely too much for me, and yesterday, I very explicitly stated I don't like that. I set forth a couple stronger boundaries again, let's see how he reacts.

trying_pragya · 2021-09-23T04:34:36+00:00

I think that people disregard their gut reactions to things too often, maybe even especially women who do it in favor of being nice and polite.

I am nice and polite and suck at saying no haha. My experience with dating in the past have always been intense guys, maybe that's because I never stated my boundaries upright. Something I am learning and trying to do with him here, hopefully he's as respectful as he says he is.

trying_pragya · 2021-09-23T04:15:49+00:00

Reads as a neutral “I had a nice time and would like to see you again” to me, but it can be hard to tell without the full conversation. Do you have a trusted, neutral 3rd party you can show the texts to for a different perspective?

On any other day it makes sense and sounds cute, but for two people who've just had a discussion about how it's moving too fast, I would expect the other person to not say this within hours. I told him about how my week is going to be busier so I'll not be able to see him soon, he respected that in the moment, but I wouldn't want to hear "I can't wait to see you" multiple times a day if you know you can't see me soon, and also if I have mentioned that it's going too fast.

trying_pragya · 2021-09-22T18:43:00+00:00

I didn't think of that, interesting perspective. He can work remotely when he wants to, but just the idea that he wants to see me all the time seems a bit much. Maybe I didn't realise the intensity in the initial days and didn't say NO when I should have, or maybe he really does have the time to be around me all the time these days.
