Title: Nigel's Shiny New Life Thread
Post by: Mesozoic Mister Nigel on January 03, 2012, 10:04:17 PM
Today I got an email from the Financial Aid office that my application is complete and approved and I will get an award letter next week. :D

I have been half-convinced that something was going to go horribly wrong and I wouldn't get to go to school after all, since every time I've tried before something major went down that snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory.

But this time, I AM IN! I AM A REAL LIVE COLLEGE STUDENT OMG OMG OMG!!!!

Classes start in six days and I even have all my books.

I am so thrilled I could cry!

Now to start applying for scholarships.

I am currently in prerequisiteland, which means that I have 2 more math classes which won't count toward my degree but also that I have a wide range of classes which will. I have 2 years in which almost anything I take will.

Nop, PCC. I won't be at PSU for at least 2 years.

Kai, organic chemistry, although I will also take biology classes, and over the next two years I will have to decide whether my undergrad will be chem or bio, and either one gives me a solid track to my desired outcome so it's all about which engages me more. Right now I am leaning toward chemistry, which I already have a background in due to my glasswork. But that could change, and it will depend a lot on not only which one I am more engaged with, but also which I am more likely to get an assistanceship with at PSU, and which one leads me most clearly to bio-anthro. That could change in the next few years.
Title: Re: Nigel's Shiny New Life Thread
Post by: Mesozoic Mister Nigel on January 04, 2012, 08:25:23 AM
Technically I am going for a biophysics degree, but it's kind of a question of which department I am going to get it in, and which department will best behoove me. I am seriously thinking that I would do better to get it in anthropology rather than physics.

It's so important to stay on top of that. Glad to know that financial aid came through for you too. Be sure to get your FAFSA in as SOON as you finish your 2011 tax return, too. That's the best way to get a full amount of aid.

UM, WOW

I just found out that My Big Regret is getting a divorce.

This is the friend I have been in love with for almost 20 years and have always been too chicken to tell. When he was 19 and I was 22, he was complaining about not liking girls his age and I said "You should date an older woman"


and two days later he was dating my best friend.

NO, BASEHEAD, I MEANT ME.

Life goes on, I got married, they broke up, eventually he married someone else. When I was 29 I was divorced with two kids and he broke up with his then-girlfriend, and I was too chicken to just be like "Hey Basehead, you know, I've had this thing for you for years, want to see if it could work?"

Proceed with eleven more years of near-misses and him moving back to Baltimore and getting married.

One of my friends, who knows about my secret feelings for him, has this theory that all the guys I have been through are just me fruitlessly seeking him in someone else, and that's why they never work out. She might be right. So, even though he lives on the other side of the country and is pretty established there and might not have any similar feelings, I am going to tell him. I am not going to be that foolish girl who never tells that one guy about her feelings and nobody knows that he feels the same way until after he dies and his grandson sees his diary and tells the old lady and everybody cries.

Knock on wood. :lol: Every time before, I've chickened out. Once I was totally determined to tell him and I was sitting next to him on his bed working up my nerve and he started telling me about this girl he had just met.

:sad:

I should have told him anyway, of course. That was 11, maybe 12 years ago. But it's not too late until I'm dead, right? And now I have a chance; I shouldn't let it go by.

Tell him by all means. But don't expect him to respond by dropping everything and declaring a mutual unrequited love for you. I think your friend with the theory probably means well, but is talking out of her arse when she says that you've been on a fruitless search to find him in someone else, for all these years.
But you obviously need to tell him how you feel, so tell him.

I really hope that he does have similar feelings for you, and after a whirlwind courtship, he declares his undying love and you both live a blissfully happy and long life together. But you have to be prepared for this not to happen.

   The main point is to tell him, because not telling him, is what has built this 'star crossed lovers' scenario up in the first place. I suspect if it was going to happen, it already would have done, despite any minor obstacles like both your's and his marriages / relationships / commitments, and timing issues. But at the very least, you should come away with a more realistic expectation of your relationship with him.

And it will give him something to think about too. Bitter-sweet memories of what could have been aren't really so bad. and it's hardly going to spoil the friendship you both already have, not after all this time.

Also, seeing as he's getting a divorce, it could set you up as his rebound relationship, and although this might be fun for a while, you know rebound relationships rarely end up going anywhere. But tell him. If he really does feel the same, then he should be prepared to think about all the implications, and risks as well. Maybe give the dust a little time to settle. I don't know.
But you really are going to have to tell him now. Just do it calmly, and without any expectations. Then whatever happens is  a bonus. 

At least, it's a bonus compared to not telling him, and perhaps having another 20 years of wondering what would have happened. That's the kind of shit that drives people right round the bend, and into Miss Havisham's attic.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Stay. Away. From boys.

Shiny new life! Get degree! Catchin' breaks like they be Pokemon n shit!

Your boy, if he's getting a divorce, is a breeding ground of fuckups and mindraep. It's not his fault. It's not yours either. Lying in bed, worshipping each other and blowng off Chem Lab feels sooooooooo gooooood...ESPECIALLY AFTER ALL YOU'VE BOTH BEEN THROUGH.

And then there's the risk of The Month of A Thousand Tears. You know that shit I'm talkin about? When your eyeballs feel like pregnant maggots crawled up inside and laid eggs and the last fucking thing you want to do right now is write a novella about the golgi apparatus?

If you love this boy and you two are psychologically betrothed, insist he get therapy. Wait a semester for you to find your success rhythm first. Get some therapy yourself. Take some advice from the wise old man, Stephen Spielberg: don't try to build an upscale subdivision on an indian burial ground,  Don't ressurrect Velociraptors unless you have a remote trigger that drops an H-bomb on the island and a backup power grid and whatever you do: DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS.

I say this with the same love in my heart that caused you to recommend the Year of No. However, whatever you choose to do, you will hear no nagging or jugement from me, just open ears and a free shoulder. I am a total fuckup when it comes to men.

Good stuff.  And you're right about the school-PD.com overlap.  Most of the courses I've taken since going back have had "critical theory of..." somewhere in the description, and it happened a lot when I first found this site that I'd finish a conversation in class to log on and find it already happened here (usually 5 or 6 times in some capacity and usually a few years ago).  :lol:

Congrats Nigel!

How do you say that returning to college later in life differs from going as a young person (not that you're by any means old!)?

I'll take this one.

When you're 19, you're a dumbshit with no foresight who just wants to look cool and have fun. You don't value things like having enough money left over to get an oil change after you pay for all this beer or daycares that stay open past 6 and someone to pick up yr kid who won't accidentally let him eat bleach while you're in class.

I fucked off bigtime in college for the year I went. I spent more time cruising for sex and trying to impress everyone by dressing all in black and bringing back the Beat generation aesthetic (don't hate, I was 19), that I really had no time to actually benefit from education. I thought I was a badass cause I was smarter than everyone...a 19 year old, socially inept, preachy, bigmouthed badass.

Oh yeah, I was slick.

After several years of being sodomized by work, life and people, facing challenges and being in some impossible situations, I was so humbled and grateful to be able to even go to school, I sucked every bit of meat off the bones.

Heh.

But those are exactly the things you should be doing at 19. I think kids should be educated up to being able to read, write, and do basic maths. Then they should be free to go and do all the stupid shit that kids always end up doing anyway. Then when they've got a bit of life experience under their belts, and have a better idea of what they want to do, get some relevant further education. It's easier to learn stuff when you don't resent the fuck out of having to sit and study what, at that time of life is just boring pointless shit.
So afaic, you dun gud, grrl!

Other than the practical matters (it is nearly impossible to attend college full-time while a single parent raising children under 12 and paying a mortgage, for instance) it doesn't, much. I do think that it is a VERY VERY good idea to go to school before having kids and buying a house, though; the only reason I am pulling this off now with a $1500/mo house payment and 3 kids is because I work from home, I am highly skilled at what I do, and, if I am very disciplined, can supplement my financial aid enough to get by with 9-12 hours a week of torching.

I have less patience for student services because the way they operate is tailored toward the young, clueless, and irresponsible. I want to make an appointment and be in and out, but dealing with the sea of 18-20-year-olds I realize that making appointments and expecting them to keep  them would be folly.

It seems much less confusing/frightening because I have 22 years of experience with bureaucracy. I am not intimidated by my teachers, because they are mostly my age and at my age I am aware that teaching at a community college is just a job, not "The Authority".

I have less patience for classes getting bogged down by stupidity/naivete, which would have been a normal part of my peer group 20 years ago.

The idea of not doing my homework is laughable, so it's amusing yet wearying when the teachers repeat over and over again that it's imperative to do the homework. And then I become very aware that I am definitely going to get an A in any class that is graded on a curve, because basically all I have to do is show up, pay attention, and do my homework.

Speaking of which, I have to run off and do it now!

Buy a pet:   
WHEN WE lived on Kerby St Up on the ?bank? we had a black cat
who lived in the garage. it was a very wild cat very independant
as i recall {& i don't) it was 1972 ish 40 years ago My guess would
be that although the house & the garage are things of the past
THE BLACK CAT is not. I would not be the least bit serprised if
you left a bit of hot dog or balloony there she/he would appear
in a day or two and Approach
---
thinking about this REMinds me of wild things (like Squirells etc
& I have an affinity of some sort. & I can tell walking by a dog
on a leash on the street they also have a desire (though unfullfiled
to return to the wild. Not for very long is my guess though

My dogs think they want to return to the wild.  My parents often take them camping, and down to a nearby river to play off of their leashes, but they never go very far.  They're a bit scaredy cats when it comes to new things, like cows and running water.

My math class was really short today. I love my math teacher; he's this balding gayish stoner dude who talks really slow, wears a bandanna, and tells seemingly rambling stories that not only inform you that he grew up on a farm and helped some redneck dude re-side his grandma's house, but also somehow miraculously at the end of the story you remember how to multiply fractions as if you'd never forgotten.

Anyway, he gave us this group project and said we could leave when we finished it; my group took ten minutes so I have the whole rest of the day to make shit, do general maintenance, and do homework.

But I thought that I would gush about how awesome my math teacher is first.

Taking a break from it now: I think I am gonna try to finish all my math homework tonight and read the rest of my science chapter and do soc tomorrow and Sunday, because it requires more focused attention.

I don't know whether I like it better when my dad is rambling about his military service and the Constitution, or when he's in one of his more lucid reminiscent states and decides to lay some personal history on me.

CANNOT UNKNOW

THANKS DAD.

On the plus side, I got the address to the Castle Rock acreage so that I can actually find it to go camping on this summer, and also he is threatening to finally produce his mom's roll # sometime this week, which has been eluding me for years and would help a lot with funding for school.

On the minus side, I learned about two more siblings I had no idea about, from a creepy adolescent sort of affair my dad commenced with a white neighbor woman when he was TWELVE.

So today, E.O.T.'s steering went out. It just stopped working. So I had to go find him up in the West Hills, and call AAA, and bring him home.

His truck was stopped in the oncoming lane.

I just keep thinking about the fact that in order to get to where he was, he had to take the freeway and cross a bridge, and if this had happened at a different time, at almost any other place on his route to work, or if there had been a car in the other lane when this happened, we would be short one E.O.T.

And man, that would suck.

Congrats Nigel!

How do you say that returning to college later in life differs from going as a young person (not that you're by any means old!)?

To expand on what Navcat and Nigel said, I started out in day classes at community college while working parttime then switched to night classes when I started full time (with an online class each semester). The differences were, well, like night and day (hurrrr). For me, a lot of the day classes were like slightly elevated high school classes. Mostly younger people, more quizzes, tests, homework, kids being kids I suppose - not nearly as bad as highschool classes, mind you, since most of the kids still wanted to be there to some extent and could hold a decent discussion, but it still had that...high school feel.

The night classes were mostly older people - those with full time jobs, children, continuing education, etc. Most were focused on the learning at hand when class was ready to start. There were still quizzes and tests and homework, of course, but they seemed more....focused? Meaningful? And homework was given with the expectation of getting it done and learning something from it, but with the understanding that many of the people there also had a lot going on, be it jobs, kids, etc. More mature, I suppose. Could have just been the nature of the evening classes I took, though. I seemed to get on better there at least.

But this was also during a time where I was living with an abusive boyfriend (for the 1st year at least), was estranged from my parents and a lot of my friends (see point 1) and school was probably the most stable thing in my life at the time (besides missing out on the school that I had originally planned to attend and had a good scholarship to). So going to a community college and dealing with all the other BS in my life, I missed out on a lot of the "college experience", but I still enjoyed the classes, particularly the evening ones for the reasons described above and previously.

Also, Nigel, congratulations for being able to go back and pursue a degree that interests you, especially while raising a family and maintaining a home by yourself. I don't have half the responsibility you do and I can't even imagine going back for my Bachelor's, or another AS, right now, even if I knew what I wanted to do. And I'm less than 10 years out of HS

I am fucking exhausted and this sociology class is killing me.

What's really annoying is that the teacher is so nitpicky about the outlines that I spend more time putting together the outline to spec than I do on reading the material.

What's even more annoying is that the outline template she gave us was shit, so even though she insisted it had to be exactly according to that format, I had to change it to make it even workable.

It is very possible that my courseload is having a detrimental effect on my mental state, because one of my classes is all about how fucked our entire economic and political system is, what with the concentration of wealth and all, and the research I'll be doing for the next month for a paper for another class is about cancer from environmental pollutants. My current wing of research is the cost of cancer... which translates on the other end to the profit from cancer treatment as an industry, which is :x :x :x

Yes. Hardly anyone actually dies from cancer anymore. They die from cancer surgery, or as a side effect of chemo, or meds. And of course, it must be the biggest open cheque for research funding, and all it's associated industries. There's a book by Dr Alex Comfort, called "The Anxiety Makers", it's quite old, (1970's I think) but it examines the dynamics behind Healthcare as a Corporate Industry. How it generates it's own market conditions, and likes to keep people sick. Really quite an eye opener.

I'm really curious now about whether they have higher overall rates of cancer or just a higher mortality rate. Unfortunately, homework is calling so I'll have to wait.

Trends in cancer deaths in the UK
Overall, mortality rates from cancer are decreasing despite a small increase in incidence rates. In the UK, the European age-standardised mortality rates for all malignant neoplasms decreased by a fifth from 218 to 175 per 100,000 population between 1978-1980 and 2007-2009.6

Figure 1.1 shows the incidence and mortality rate trend for all cancers combined for Great Britain for 1975-2009 (2008 for incidence).

Figure 1.1: All Malignant Neoplasms, Excluding Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (C00-C97 excl. C44), European Age-Standardised Incidence and All Malignant Neoplasms (C00-C97), European Age-Standardised Mortality Rates, Great Britain, 1975-2009
http://info.cancerresearchuk.org/cancerstats/mortality/all-cancers-combined/

US currently on 180.7 per 100,000
Some discussion from health care advocates to say theyre cooking the books to achieve that down turn...it's steep...way to steep to be accounted for in treatment advances....Supposition that the sudden downturn in reported drops from cancer deaths in the US is that once they stop being treated for it they don't get counted as dying from it. Death can be put down to untreated secondary infections...lung, staph etc.which is commonplace, UK stats reflect reality more as everyone with cancer is being treated for it under NHS...so all deaths there are attributed to it....checking for info on that.

The us rate is declining far less slowly in the southern states....and in all states it is declining much faster among wealthy whites than  poor blacks...big surprise. This dichotomy is esp strong in breast cancer

Post by: Scribbly on February 01, 2012, 09:22:46 AM
I'm afraid this is going to be entirely anecdotal for now because I can't seem to find any backing links on a quick google search but.

The area I live in is known as a 'cancer hotspot'. We have something like six or seven times the average rate of cancer for most types in the area. We're a relatively small village, but I know six people in the past three years who have had some sort of cancer, and when I was growing up some of my friend's parents died of it. My first girlfriend had a brain tumor (though thankfully that was treated successfully).

The major employer in my village is G.E Healthcare. About twenty years ago they were openly running radiation treatment experiments at the facilities just up the road from here.

Since then the experiments have been officially stopped, though the facility is still heavily guarded and locked up. Rumors around the village say that they've continued their work in those areas, and that is one of the reasons why this place has such a high cancer rate. I don't know if there's any truth to that, but I would imagine that the fact there were experiments with nuclear materials going on would be a bit too much of a coincidence to be entirely unrelated to the high levels of cancer in an otherwise small country village. I suspect that there's similar situations up and down the country.

That source compiled and averaged data that goes back 35 years, so it's not a very accurate picture of the current state of cancer mortality.

Every source I've seen for 2009-2010 shows a significantly higher mortality rate per 100k in the UK than in the US, which is exactly the opposite of what I would expect given the relative inaccessibility of health care here.

http://www.cancer.gov/newscenter/pressreleases/2011/ReportNation2011Release

Mortality here is indeed higher for the poor and those without access to health insurance:

http://info.cancerresearchuk.org/cancerstats/mortality/all-cancers-combined/

I just went to my first meeting for this program that sets up PCC students with summer research internships at PSU, and it looks like there's a possibility that I might actually be able to do an internship this summer, but that's not as exciting as the fact that this whole program is streamlined (way more than I realized) into PSU's science department, and I can now earn credits for going to free science lectures, and when I transfer to PSU I will basically be plonked right into an NIH-sponsored program there. So now I am taking some different classes next term from what I had originally intended, and also I have much more direction and access to way more resources than I had imagined I would in my first year. There is a whole support system of instructors and mentors and coordinators and classes to get me where I need to be with the highest immersion rate possible. If all goes as planned this means that I will do my internship next summer and start PSU next fall.

I just went to my first meeting for this program that sets up PCC students with summer research internships at PSU, and it looks like there's a possibility that I might actually be able to do an internship this summer, but that's not as exciting as the fact that this whole program is streamlined (way more than I realized) into PSU's science department, and I can now earn credits for going to free science lectures, and when I transfer to PSU I will basically be plonked right into an NIH-sponsored program there. So now I am taking some different classes next term from what I had originally intended, and also I have much more direction and access to way more resources than I had imagined I would in my first year. There is a whole support system of instructors and mentors and coordinators and classes to get me where I need to be with the highest immersion rate possible. If all goes as planned this means that I will do my internship next summer and start PSU next fall.

SQUEEEEEEEEE

Basically I am totally thrilled to death right now.

Thanks, NIH!

AWESOME news, Nigel, congrats!

I got a housemate last night. The empty room is no longer empty, for the next couple of weeks, because my friends are breaking up and the girl one needed a place to stay. I has a bit of a sad, because I really like these friends and am bummed that they couldn't make it work out.

He's going to have to bring his own damn hanky.

I really really want to break up with him via text but that would be really rude. I should probably take him out for a beer and try to break it to him easy.

Take some Tums and console yourself with the fact that ending it now saves you the trouble of explaining to your friends why they need to help you haul all that extray-heavy trunk of quiklime to the swamp, in a few months.

I think it's because I'm poor, a single mom, and get good grades. It's not a ton of money; about $1900 for the term, but every little bit is a big help!

Hurrah!! $1900 ain't nothin' to sneeze at . . . or maybe it is. It's been awhile since I was in college. But that is still awesome. Apply for every scholarship! Even ones you don't fit the criteria for. You're the Dark Empress, they'll give you the money once they hear the stories.

$1900 pays my tuition for a whole term; it's pretty great, actually. I also have a housemate for the next three months or so, amd that helps a lot.

Ditto. I fell off my ball about ten years ago . . .

. . . and hit my head on the curb. Then it rolled down hill to the river and fell in, where it was eaten by a gar the size of a Buick. The gar got a blockage and died and washed up on the boat ramp where it was smushed by some moron's boat hauler and the ball rolled back into the river, covered in fish bits, to float down to the Gulf where it got coated in oil leaking from a tanker and burst into flames, creating a large area of toxic water, no few dead fish, and a small hole in the ozone layer.

It's awesome that you're back at school.

Right now I'm working on an AA transfer degree (I was going to do a general ed transfer degree but I can't seem to change my major and it doesn't really matter) and I'm in a program that streamlines me into biomedical, behavioral and health sciences at either PSU or OHSU. My next step is a biochemistry undergrad, and then I am going to have to make a decision between epidemiology and neurophysics (or figure out how to combine the two), and figure out which route I want to take to get to it. For epidemiology, an MPH would (probably) be the way to go so I could get into an epidemiology postgrad program, but if I want to go with neurophysics there is no clear-cut path at this time. Two options would be biochemistry or biological anthropology. A lot of that will probably be determined by what research internship I end up with next year.

So it dawned on me today, that I am unlikely to make a decent living wage or get out of catering/retail hell without doing some more education.

I am seriously considering teaching in the 11-16 year old bracket. For this, I need some kind of part time or evening Access course, or Foundation Degree and a course in the local area or by correspondence course, as I don't want to move. Then I would have to do a degree, then a PGCE.

Subjects I would consider in ranking order-

English Literature/Language.

Religious Studies.

French. (it's a stretch, that one, but I was bloody good at it at school)

Environmental Science (but that would have to be 16-19 age)

I am waiting on a callback from the Open University and will be looking into my options.

This would be amusing as I describe myself as an apathetic agnostic. I cannot prove the existence of deity either way and I frankly don't give a shit. Environmental Science is my wildcard, and would take far longer to get to teach.


English Lit is my first choice because I know there is an English Lit course at Southampton University.

If you think of your education not as a means to an end but as a career in itself, the length of the program becomes less daunting.

I would definitely look up what the employment opportunities are for English Lit... hopefully they are better there than they are here. In the States, a degree in anything involving English, Music, Art, or Literature pretty much guarantees that you will end up in retail management.

French teachers are in pretty high demand, as there is a shortage and it's the most commonly taught language, but that would mean a bunch of refresher courses and getting into that path of study looks a lot more complicated, but to be honest if I couldn't get into teaching with an English Lit and PGCE, well retail management is higher up the pay and food chain than I am now, so it wouldn't be much of a loss.


Actually, looking at the government website, there is nothing relating to English teachers. :( I guess it's a popular subject at degree level and most of what you can do with it IS teaching. Balls. That's that one dropped down the ranking, even though I would really get off on the degree...

Environmental Science is up there as a degree that can lead to science teaching. (it just went higher up the list.)- Science teachers are in shortage at the moment. Add to this the impending doom of running out of fossil fuels and private industry might be more receptive by the time I actually graduate.

For foreign language teaching it suggests you learn two languages, at least one European, and it helps if you learn a language used by immigrant families. I'd probably choose the second language as Mandarin, or Polish. Actually I'd more likely choose Polish. With the large Polish community in this country being a quite audible if not visible minority it would be good. Hell even learning Polish to A-level might help if I decided to teach in a lower age bracket. This could be lucrative, hold good chances of work in the private sector if teaching is a no-go, but is looking like way longer period of study.

however, Religious Studies, interestingly enough will let you take an Anthropology (I assume they mean cultural, rather than biological) degree, and that's another subject I have expressed an interest in doing at that level in the past. I think that one can also be done at a local Uni.

In the Design and Technology category you can even have a degree in Jewellery, so maybe add that to my bucket o'choices of subjects to teach, and before I went mad I was looking at jewellery degree level courses. The big disadvantage would be having to move, as jewellery degree courses are not common.

There seems to be a common thread though. The most in-demand subjects don't seem to be local to study, and the local to study isn't in as much demand.

I have added a Spanish class. I know that five classes is too many, but the homework will be really easy and it fills up an otherwise unused chunk of time on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

I would suggest religious.  As I understand it, there is a huge demand for PSRE teachers, so much so that they were offering cash rewards for those who signed up, until recently (I understand such bounties have since been stopped by government).

After having a poke around the local Uni's websites it looks like Anthropology BSc going onto a PGCE in Religious Studies may be my primary choice (I'd need to check which Access diploma I would need) which is based at Southampton Uni, with Environmental Science BSc as my second choice, leading to a Science teaching PGCE (although getting my Access diploma in Science may be a bit of an ask locally) which is at Bournemouth Uni. The Bournemouth Uni website seems very mature student friendly, the Southampton one, not so much.

Anthropology is something I have considered studying at undergrad level before, also has the added benefit of making my early 20's obsession with tribal culture and the occult seem less of a supreme waste of time.

Environmental Sciences looks like fun, and would channel my angry eco-hippy into getting off my arse and actually maybe making a difference. I excelled in science (mostly Biology) at the 11-16 level before I dropped it to do Media Studies, English and Classics, which was probably the biggest fuck up I made at that age.

Also after speaking to Payne, the requirement that I do my undergrad course within 30 miles of here seems not as essential, but he has just got a promotion to transport management and handling all the accounts for North Hampshire, and ideally I would prefer that he got at least a couple years experience there before uprooting us to somewhere else. This is kind of the main reason I'm not jumping up and down yelling about jewellery undergrad courses in Dundee or at St Martin's College of Art and babbling on about silversmithing and shiny things.

Anthropology sounds like a really fascinating choice, and being able to stay local is a big bonus.

 :lulz: There's a mutiny in that abysmal sociology class. :lulz:

So apparently the instructor sent out some kind of email to all the failing students (more than half of the remaining class... I think only six of us are passing) and got major blowback and some of the students are opening a formal grievance with administration. Only ten students came to class today.

:lulz: :lulz: :lulz: :lulz:

I'd feel sorry for her, but she's earned it. Every bit of it.

She gave me back a PERFECT 100% paper I turned in last Thursday, and she'd docked it by 25% for turning it in late because she'd changed the syllabus. While I was out sick on the only day I've missed all term. WTF.

OH AND

In the revised syllabus she switched all of her T's with TH's, so I thought a paper due today was due Thursday. I'm gonna email it to her half-assed, because I've learned that it's better to do a shitty job and turn it in half-assed after four days of work than to turn in a perfect paper after a week.

i am not fucking doing that kind of college. This one class is a big enough taste of that, and I have the support of the  science department, and I am in school to learn so I will do a better job of screening instructors from now on so I don't end up with someone like this again.

We had a similar fucknozzle at university. Thankfully I didn't take his class, but he almost cost several of my friends their degree (or at least, it felt like it at the time) by marking essays as '0' if he detected a single error in referencing.

I believe that the decision was overturned after class rebellion at the fact that referencing was only allowed, by University regulations, to account for 10 per cent of the grade of the paper, but he caused a LOT of stress to a lot of students.

There are some lecturers who seem to view students as getting in the way of being a lecturer, or that they have to make life as miserable as possible for the students who dare to try and take their class. It boggles me, but I guess you get people like that all over.

I suspect that she thinks "unreasonable demands that stress the students and cause most of them to drop or fail" is the same as "pushing them to learn".

Also, she made me make a Powerpoint presentation.

What the fuck. I was like, "What the hell is Powerpoint?" and she said "It's the P at the bottom of your computer screen" and I said "My computer doesn't have that".

I'm like, listen lady, it's a 200 level class, OK? Get over yourself.

I am holding out hope that she's just trolling y'all.

What if she is performing a sociological experiment on you.

Me and one of my classmates were joking about that, actually.  :lulz:

Today, I am sick. I spent last night shivering and sweating. needless to say, I am pretty concerned about how this is going to affect finals.

Ugh, I've been there before. It sucks doing finals while feverish.

Happily, I realized that my math final is Monday, and that's the only one I'm really concerned about. I should be better by then.

Unless for some reason I am presenting last, in which case I won't be speaking until Tuesday, I finally have my presentation today.

Also, I really, *really* question (though I should have long since learned not to wonder) why this instructor thinks it's a good idea to have freshmen lecture for a half hour. So far the presentations have ranged from unbelievably tedious to emotionally painful (due to their petrified, stilted stage-fright-driven demeanor) to oh god, I'm out of material already and I can't step down for 20 more minutes.

She's devoted THREE DAYS to this misery. And we all have to sit there and watch. It's so bad we're frantically trying to come up with questions that might possibly rescue our poor classmates.

Oh God. The thought of having to do a presentation like that would panic-attack me right out of any thoughts of going back to school. Just thinking about it gives me a mild rush of anxiety. Not for a lack of material or knowledge, but the feeling that the majority of the class could give two-shits about what I'm talking about and are just waiting for it to be over/are dreading their turn up here. Clearly it depends on the group of people/ages/etc., but like you said, 30 minutes seems extreme for a bunch of freshman. I know public speaking is/can be a useful skill, but I have a hard enough time relating to people in a comfortable setting, never mind standing in front of a bunch of relative strangers babbling about something or another for 20-30 minutes straight. I just plan to hopefully never be in a position that requires much, if any, public speaking.

That being said, good luck! I'm sure you'll do great!

What's the age demographic for the course? Is it mostly traditional students or adults in a continuing ed program? The reason I ask is the professor could feel that adult students may be able to present lesson plans effectively at the 100 level. I've had to do it at the 300/400 level, but NOT in a freshman level class. That just seems like a good way to put students on the spot that aren't ready for it yet. It takes time to develop and understand how college level courses work, you can't just get up there and BS your way through an hour. I've had to give a couple "student lectures" this semester already. It's very testing.

I'm the oldest in the class by ten years, and have twenty on most of them, easy. A friend of mine is taking the same class on a different campus with a different instructor and her homework has been much closer to the expectations I had for the class; reading the books, writing essays, and having discussion time. It's not that it's easy, it's just that it's appropriate to their skill level and preparing them for the next courses in the series.

I think the fact that 3/4 of the class dropped is a pretty good illustration of how level-appropriate my teacher's approach is. The thing is, if she could get over herself and teach to the students she has instead of the students she wishes she had, she could be an excellent teacher, and possibly even build the track record to apply for a University position. That's never going to happen the way she's teaching now.

I took my math final this morning and I think it went well. I got a little hung up on finding the variables for an equation with the variables in fractions on both sides (total piece of cake, I just brain farted), but I should have made up for it with one of the extra credit questions.

I then went and paid for my GED, which I've been putting off. And now I am about to drive out to SE to give my books to my accountant and hopefully get a fat tax refund.

I've been researching grad programs and it looks like the best current option for my interests is the epidemiology MPH at OHSU. I am disappointed in the utter lack of a medical anthropology program anywhere in the Portland area, but things could change in three years. AND, OHSU also has what looks like a pretty killer behavioral neuroscience PhD program. So, for now I am planning on a chemistry (or biochem) major/sociology minor and then applying at OHSU, but I also have to look into how well the epidemiology program dovetails with the neuroscience program because there might be a better route for me.

I have been very productive and am doing exactly what I should be doing, and all that's missing is someone to be proud of me.

No, not directly. That might be kind of interesting though.

I looked into it a bit more and while it's not where the funding is, they also do cognitive neuroscience research, which is what I'm interested in. I have at least another three years and lots of time to familiarize myself with their programs and researchers, so that's a good thing! It's sounding like I will have a ton of support and really good contacts through the LSAMP program at PSU, so connecting with the right people and programs will be greatly facilitated. Basically, once my prerequisites are out of the way I need to focus on chemistry, sociology, and Spanish.

That makes no sense!  :lulz:

YOU CAN'T USE THE INTERNET, THAT'S CHEATING!

by god I had to go through tedious, frustrating bullshit when I was a little turd like you. I'ma make you go through the same process now, even though it's laughably obsolete and contributes fuck all to your education, which has already been stymied by the use of an online course instead of a real lecture!

also I'm going to have to take your word for it that you used magazine clippings because I can't actually see your finished product

It turned out good, the class was GREAT. Better than I had any concept of. I am so happy right now! There are still three internship spots open for this summer and the coordinator urged me to apply, so I drew up a resume and just need to write a short essay about my goals.

SUPER SWEET.

And, I just found a job posting for an Assistant Professor of Applied Anthropology at PSU, seeking a specialist in Medical Anthropology to start in September 2012. Since they already have one medical anthropologist, it's starting to sound like they MIGHT be putting together the faculty to bring that program back.

yes?¥es its a Long {stupid) story (about C.W.}
LONG AGO | When i too could walk freely on CAMPus {ei prior toNYPD
anyway HE gave me an Organic Book When i Questioned him about 110
(Stupid Me} i gave it to the book store that was in the basement of
Old Church {back in those days) {{Maybe '08) it had a CD {never mind
this drival is mostly NOT about the Basement { other than Finals)
So she sat there alone at the table? I saw the book so took some steps
to see if i could (Um}? learn some more about V o's | so i ask her about
her chapter 27 {she told me in no UNcertain language | ACid : BAse |
or was it BasE - Acid ? & with a questioning look turned to the 1st
chapter | introduction | We sort of agreed to disagree | Later thru
he ViNE i heard she had Returned across the sea to A family tradigity
-
I guess after that she did return | was the V.kids coOrd | maybe '010
then seams to have vanished from the scene | i donno : The only part
left as far as i can see is Ra.Hel | i just yesterday found her business #
Altho i had look 4'T 4Yrs. Jon / MCC just laughtat me when i ASk. Oh
you mean rachel not susan | i sort of UNderstood | my contacts are
down to about Zero(0) one exception is a part time checker at Mus SW
_where in line i last saw McC.J | he was still laugh'N
Now as4 Ur S | my guess is something like this | about 2 yr ago | P&i
were returning from a fifth ave cin | she always USes the John on the way
i take her to the UNi 1 Smith Mez on  the way to the Saudies M105?/?
she had been there sever times already | one that trip she could not
get back out | as {well never mind | the situation is NOw that when
she goes in | Like last night at 4th Fri | i must stand by \ & insure she
doesn'T get locked in. | plenty funny { but thats at the Mus } Ca.imp's

She always says she really had a giant spider for a pet. She's always stopping me and saying "LOOK mom, a spider, isn't it CUTE?"

Hey, those of you who have already done this: Should I take calculus first and then statistics, or statistics first and then calculus?

I am kind of thinking that I should take statistics first because statistics are basically applied algebra, but I wanted input from someone who's BTDT. I have three months to decide but it never hurts to get it figured out ahead of time.

I am kind of thinking that I should take statistics first because statistics are basically applied algebra, but I wanted input from someone who's BTDT. I have three months to decide but it never hurts to get it figured out ahead of time.

I would say stats first and then calculus (I suggest this as the person who did both at once because she hates herself.)

I think that's what I'm going to do. I have no desire to take stats and calc at the same time, and I want to start taking chemistry next term.

I am now experiencing a quandary because I only need 45 more credits for my transfer degree, but I don't want to take a break from math and I'm done with math requirements next term. I think it'll work out just fine because I'm dual enrolled, but I need to talk to an advisor.

Scheduling is sure starting to be a pain in the ass.

A good advisor is the best thing in the world.

(And thank you for spelling "advisor" the way I do. Every time I see "adviser" it just looks wrong, even though I know it's correct. Apparently both are correct. Goddamnit, English! STOP!)

Yeah, I need to get one.

Also, "Adviser" looks as wrong to me as "Counseler". It irritates me as much as "Irresistable".

Where I work, the official business/job title in the payroll system, on the intranet, etc. is HR Advisor. We have ONE pain in the ass who spells it "Adviser" in her email signature and it looks fucking wrong, no matter how many times I tell myself it's technically correct. But I hate emailing her because her signature sends me into fits of grammatical rage even though it shouldn't.

(GOOGLE CHROME IS SPELLCHECKING "ADVISOR". FUCK EVERYTHING.)

yesterday {Tue) i saw Whitefeather at loaf & fish as i turned
the Main 11Th corner | she motioned me in | as all i was doing WAs avoiding
conditions at 929 on Tuesdays when the Oc/oc people are OCing
i went in & thus spent the day refreshing my LAcoatA or was it DA
{never mind | sge had a 1/2 $20 she wanted me to bank | so i
gave it a shot | No Luck G. was not in. then on to SW for Soda
& proceed thru the park twards PSU / With a DeTOUR stop on Jeff
to Video the PiZZa plank? the new space was open | WEST of PiZ
retreating to park the/\/ West to 11th & up 2 Market @McMin
to finish the soda and plan a Market Rail crossing sure enough
Just as predicted the gal came out in the middle of our card game
so i did wind up ORDERING the side of bacon 75¢ & DOS water/ice
EVEntually we did cross / the traffic was light & thus the tour began
the guy entering Lincoln said he didn't know Charlie Gray { Name of
the NEW J space and we rounded the broadway turn | the New
Broadway entry to LH was tested & the door was not locked.-

After she had her Orange reg SHEET | a stop at tortus to plan
the next move to Urban | What | A scene ? i donno | she ReFused
i had to go along with it | finally she emerged with Blue/And|Whites
so i did'nt press the situation | we stopped at the safe way returnung
& I got a few dogs for youngs Bro | {young is dead already| no com-
MENT & that could have been HaRe raising | but i was beet & did NOT
feal up to rising to the Situation | returning to salmon b4 5.
Anyway the crutch of the situation is she has been
thru both Neuberger & UrBan &  has both the Orange & the Blue&
the White {NA) forms the problem is she need A photo Id
& i don't know exactly how to explain ENRONment to her really
so any assIStANT appriciated  _/-\_
