They did pay 100% of tuition to University of Nebraska Omaha, now they are cutting that to $5200 yearly cap. What does that mean? It will take you 16 years to earn a 4 year degree.
Always taking everything we've gotten from them smh. I hate this place more every day.
How many classes do you take a semester and still survive the gauntlet that is the railroad?
I was considering starting with only 1 however I feel like it would be a waste of time. Pushing towards 2 to start and ramp it up if I can handle it. Nobody else works these kind of hours so no good info online.
EDIT: accidentally cropped my rounded GPA, it's 2.1.
I'm 29 years old and graduated in 2015. My job pays 100% tuition and has a program with University of Nebraska Omaha. Because of the program they say there's a high acceptance rate from the company I work for, plus being older and having tuition completely covered.
I had a rough childhood and did not show up for most classes, had 200+ absences my senior year. I figure it would be low IQ for me to not take the opportunity of a full ride and figured I should try. I am absolutely embarrassed and regret not putting more work in as a kid.
Anyway, what are my chances, am I cooked?
The UPNS final application was submitted yesterday, and they seem pretty confident they're going to get it and finalize the transaction next summer.
I've also been doing research on agreements. The last man standing agreement, remote boxes, the brakeman agreement, road utility persons, etc. it's giving me thought on what we might see in the future.
I have 30.5 years to go before I hit 60. I'm thinking I might take the tuition coverage offered by UP and work on a degree lol, I don't know if I see myself or any of us having a job in 30 years.
Curious what all of your thoughts are on this, what you think will happen, how it will look, any opinions etc.
I guessed most of them were going to be sent home. Holy shit, I'm lost on this and not picking it back up lol.
Howdy! Please help lol. My father in law gifted us a bee hive when we inquired about starting one. He immediately brought this over, he said he was surprised there were bees in it and had no idea. Allegedly they haven't had a queen since fall, about 9 months ago. He has about 5 other hives on his property. That was the only info we were given.
We were not prepared for bees at all, we have all the basic equipment but haven't done adequate research yet imo. We wanted to see if he had an empty hive we could restore and build up to buying bees/queen. I feel bad and already have an emotional need to help them survive lol. But again, was not prepared at all.
I built the hive stand today and kinda rushed it all together best I could. Ants were on it asap, so I put petroleum jelly and diatomaceous earth on legs.
Here are my questions; are they protecting a queen and he wasn't aware? I am reading a book about bee keeping and it said queens go from egg to fully grown within 2.5 weeks. There's no way they survived this long with no queen right?
What can I do to help them if there is no queen?
Also I pulled out one of the frames and there was two larvae in two different cells, but no bees around it. They definitely weren't fly or varroa larvae, can't rule out anything else because again I'm uneducated in this.
Upon closer look I noticed only one panel has this bunch of few bees protecting something. There has consistently been two bees leaving and coming hive. Checking out our garden and stuff.
Were they robber bees from other hives and now they're doomed to death bc there's no other hives to loot?
Should I try to buy a queen asap? Any and all help would be so appreciated, yeesh I am begging for it I feel so bad we were given these guys when we're not educated.
Howdy!! Just got gifted my first hive. It has about 50-100 bees but no queen. Does anybody have a queen or a panel of eggs I can purchase?
Also would love to get to know some experienced bee keepers to help my learning
Ngl I was very skeptical about orbs and didn't believe any sightings or videos on them. But yeah I completely believe orbs now lol.
This was the best information I could get from the archive and pictures I have of him. They sent me this horrible quality document I can't even read most of lol.
He didn't tell me many stories except a couple, which confuse me as well because this document says he did motor transport and food.
He never said anything else. I will admit, I've read stories a bit of historical reading on the Vietnam war. He was always quiet and honest, but I don't know if his first story is something a cook/motorist would do? Can anybody shed any light on this? Thank you so much.
