I’m really freaking out. Last week I had an incredibly chaotic week, quit my job, found out my grandfather has cancer. And I completely missed my online exam. I forgot about it. Today I checked my grades and for that class I have an INC. I immediately emailed my prof and asked if there’s any way I can complete the exam and that I’m sorry but I feel like such an idiot. Is there any chance he’ll let me retake the exam? Is he just going to turn it into a complete fail?

Is having a 77% average too low to be allowed course overload? I’m going into four year and I am 1 credit behind for 3000/4000 level courses.

I don’t want to take a summer term, I’m going straight into college in May.

Any advice would be great

Coming from Waterloo, looking for things to do. Thanks!

Buenos días, mi novio y yo vamos de vacaciones a Yucatán por segunda vez. Vamos a rentar carro y queremos manejar de Cancún hasta Mérida (pasando por Valladolid). La última vez fuimos a:

Rio Secreto
Xplor Fuego
Isla Mujeres
Puerto Morelos (para snorkeling)
Akumal (tortugas)
Uxmal
Cenotes, obvio
Puerto Progreso
Celestún (los flamingos)

Para él es la segunda vez que va a México. Nos gusta mucho explorar, nadar, lo divertido. ¿Qué nos recomienda para este viaje?

Is anyone else in this class? I need a study buddy or something there’s so much to learn I’m so lost 😭

Currently tapering off of sertraline since mid May. Currently on a 27mg dose (originally 50mg). Really frustrated because I keep getting bad vision side effects. My vision temporarily worsens/becomes blurry. I wear glasses when I drive so when my vision changes I can’t wear my glasses because of how weird it becomes. Anyone else have this?

Looking for where to study on weekends. The public libraries (my go to place) close really early and I would really rather not go to the UW campus. I guess looking for coffee shops or other spots I could go study in the middle of the day/later in the day?

First year watching LigaMX, wanna keep watching futbol after Worldcup. I’m from Puebla should I cheer for them? How do you guys choose your teams:

Also give me run downs on why I shouldn’t cheer for a certain team

Not star wars

Movies like La Misma Luna (Under the Same Moon) (2007) and A Better Life (2011).

Bonus points if it makes me cry

Give me your friends to lovers recs. I want to feel like I’m watching a Delaney Rowe skit

Why do some countries in Latin America have completely different words for one object or share one word but different meaning?

For example (the long fought over war) “straw” is said differently in different countries:

“Popote” - Mexico
“Pitillo” - Colombia/Venezuela
“Absorbente” - Cuba
“Bombilla” - Chile/Bolivia
“Cañita” - Perú
“Sorbete/o” -Ecuador/Argentina/PR
“Pajilla” - Costa Rica/Guatemala
“Calimete” - DR
“Carrizo” - Panamá

Yet some of these words have double meaning, for example in Mexico “pajilla” means masturbation and “pitillo” means penis.

So what happened here?

Similar with the word “coger” /koˈxeɾ/

In countries like Spain and Colombia it means “to grab”, “to take”. In other countries, like in Mexico, it means “to have sex”.

What?

HIST3260 - Cinema and the Moving Image
EURO3300 - Violence & Culture in Europe
PHIL3370 - Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
HIST3310 - Disease and History
HIST3640 - Madness and Psychiatry

I need to take a course (any subject) at the 3000 level and this morning when I went to register the course I had planned to take was cancelled. Not filled up, they just fully cancelled the course. So now I’m scrambling trying to find a replacement.

What was the course load for these? Thoughts/opinions
