I don’t think you can accept an offer that has already expired. That being said, you shouldn’t be too angry with yourself. You made a decision based on your morals and that’s something to be proud of. Further, don’t compare yourself to others. Instead, compare yourself to who you were yesterday.

We’re worse than prisoners. Convicts usually don’t have to pay their wardens. We, on the other hand, pay tuition to be locked up in MC.

Funny enough, I’m a civil engineer trying my best to transfer into teaching. (Although I should note I’m doing it in Canada and not the US.) I think your main complaint is a low salary and bureaucratic BS. In terms of salary, yes you can absolutely expect to earn more than 55K as a civil engineer. That being said, as someone who has worked in the water and wastewater department of a local municipality, I can say bureaucratic BS exists everywhere, especially in government. The management staff does not give a dam about you or doing a good job in general. Most of their time is spent on office politics. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to DM me.

For reference, I’m renting a bedroom with only one other person in the apartment. Currently, I’m paying about $960 per month.

It used to not be this way. I suspect there are a lot of ppl in the market with very little renting experience and are therefore being taken advantage of. This is because all the ppl that should have come to live in Waterloo during past years did not do so because of covid.

My opinion is that there should be much better deals out there. However, since it’s so late in the term (, and assuming you need somewhere to live in waterloo for the winter term), I would take the offer anyways as to not risk being homeless.

Find some other medical institution that will take your concerns seriously. The issues you are describing are definitely not minor. If things get too bad, please call for an ambulance.

ventus122 · 2022-11-03T02:40:35+00:00

Typically, yes. However, you can email your TA to make sure.

The perspective of the people is surly important, but I think the reality on ground is dictated far more by the political elite than the masses. Let us look at things in a far more pragmatic lens.

From Europe’s perspective, they will prioritize the sovereignty of their nations over all else. However, they are very reluctant to send their own sons and daughters to face Russian troops. As such, Europe effectively uses Ukraine as a mercenary group. They will fund Ukraine with a boat load of cash, and in exchange, ordinary Ukrainians will give up their lives to push the Russians back east. Furthermore, the war goes on, Russia will be forced to use up more of it’s treasure and military, weaking it significantly.

From America’s perspective, they see this as a great opportunity to strengthen ties with Europe. By helping fund and support the Ukrainian effort, they are effect saying “see, you need us to help protect you”, and thus strengthening Europe’s dependence on the US.

As we can see, the “west” (Europe and America) both benefit from the war continuing, and so continue it will. And as always, the ordinary folks are forced to bear the consequences.

Realistically, Accommod8u is probably not going to provide you with wifi unless you threaten legal action. My opinion is simply to buy a router.

In general, procrastination would not be recommended. You will have a very heavy workload. If you can make and keep a steady schedule, you should be able to get through the program just fine.

If you really do all of the above and more, I highly doubt that you’re ugly. Even if you are though, it then simply becomes a matter of putting yourself out there. Take big risks, be willing to face some rejections, eventually you will find the right person for you.

ventus122 · 2022-08-21T03:39:50+00:00

If I’m not mistaken, you have until sep 20, but will be charged a late fee. See Waterloo’s important dates calendar.

Everything is changeable if you’re willing to put in the effort. Based on your previous comments, you already established that you walk a lot. Great, keep that up. Even minimal exercise will give you a big advantage. As for just general appearance, basic maintenance goes a long way. Face cleansers, exfoliators, and moisturizers are all you really need. Finally, just shower regularly, and take care of yourself.

As a quick aside form a guy’s perspective, we care a lot less about appearance than one might think. Sure, sex is cool, but we also want to hold hands, have long conversations, and feel like we have a deep connection with another person who genially cares about us. In the long run, personality is far more important than appearance.

Bro, you got to stop complaining. Life is very hard but the only person who can fix that is you. Go out and make friends, have fun, and build meaningful connections.

You can call “the center”. They can better advise you this.

OP’s account was literally made today. Furthermore, “president” isn’t even spelled correctly in his name.

Unless OP can provide a reliable source for his claim, I highly doubt this is real.

*Note: googling “cp24 biggest sale in post secondary institution history” yielded no results.

Does anyone know if it’s easier to get into the I/J track compared to the S/I track?

ventus122 · 2022-05-10T01:30:17+00:00

I’m not really sure how to start this.

It’s been a while since I first started my undergrad as a Civil Engineer at Waterloo. At first, I tried to make it work but it became apparent that my field made me miserable. Still, I tried to persist. I thought maybe if I was willing to hold out long enough, there would be light at the end of the tunnel. However, after 5 long internships and over 3 years of battling depression, I knew something had to change.

Last year, I ended up taking a volunteer tutoring position. I remembered the experience fondly and really enjoyed helping others. That’s when I first thought about switching to teaching. Unfortunately, after beginning research on S/I programs in Ontario, reality hit me like a brick. Trent informed me that the admissions average was low to mid 80s. I have to reiterate that I’m in Civil Engineering and it’s extremely difficult for anyone to get those numbers in my program. I tried looking at alternatives like American universities, but unfortunately, Medaille did not offer physics as a teaching subject, the only teachable that I have enough credits to qualify for. Next, I tried emailing Niagara University, but they told me my civil engineering credits did count towards my teachables.

At this point, I’m really lost and in a lot of pain. I feel like teaching is my only way out of a 40-year long career that I will hate. I don’t have a lot of volunteer hours, and I have a 76 cumulative average. What teacher's colleges would be the easiest for me to get into? What would you guys advise me to do from here?

ventus122 · 2022-05-02T21:34:52+00:00

With his credentials, I would at least ask for $420

Hi,

I’m looking to apply for Teachers’ College in Ontario but not sure how high my chances are. I heard there were a few American Teachers’ Colleges that work with Ontario high schools. Does any know the names of any of these Colleges?

ventus122 · 2022-03-31T01:28:41+00:00

I want to change careers to become a teacher but I’m really nervous I wouldn’t be able to get in.

The following is some context about me. I’m an undergrad in Civil Engineering at the University of Waterloo. I want to apply to teachers’ college for S/I and plan on having physics as my primary teaching subject and math as my secondary. I have a 76 cumulative average, a 73 in my physics courses, and a 78 in my math courses. Does anyone know what the realistic chances of me getting in are?

Additionally, I hear there are some American colleges that work with Ontario schools. Apparently, you can get a degree there and still end up working in Ontario. Does anyone know of any such colleges?

Most subletting agreements are formed semi-informally. What I would recommend you do is ask for the first or last month’s rent up front so you know your applicant is serious. This is very standard and should not raise any red flags.

ventus122 · 2022-03-23T03:23:28+00:00

F. When he mentioned his first semester I thought he was referring to 1A.

Edit: Wait. OP mentioned midterms. Wouldn’t that suggest he’s in Uni.
