How do people not use towels?!? With the humidity here it's pretty much impossible. I would never be dry. I can be out if a pool for like an hour and still be very damp.

I just want to say.. as someone who has been there.. it's a little itty bitty museum. Just sayin. Venice is lovely, the museum is the size of a large house. The collection is.. "meh."

I can't do weekly towels in Florida. Daily, if not more than once a day if there's a full shower again. If you wait to air dry you'll just get wetter.

This also goes back to when there were legit portfolio showings.. you were there to answer questions. Not that you could "speak for" your work - it needs to stand on its own, but a performance piece has about zero ground to stand on when you have a single snapped photo of the thing to show for it in a portfolio.

Lol - i'm proud of my 4.5! Considering i had no idea what they were looking for, I think that's pretty spiffy.

I did some poking around to see how slideroom "works" when viewed by the staff. It's a little troubling. Long story short, those little essays they let you write about each slide can be "optionally" viewed.. meaning often they're going purely off the image and have no context. For some things.. fine, i get that. For others...? WHAT?!?! If you're going to accept things other than basic 2D media you should really tell your staff to read the supplemental information for each slide.

Towels in the hall closet (right next to the bathroom door) and toothbrush in the little holder that's next to the sink, on the other side of the bathroom from the toilet.

My experience has been that things dont always update right away. Contact your admissions rep and see if they can see it.

My 3-something year old scores are verbal 600 scaled / 160 (estimated), quant 680 / 153, and writing 4.5. I did not study or prep or anything. I was oblivious to the GRE in general back then. I took it because one school I was applying to required a score - not a certain score, just a score. I took it with one week's notice. I was accepted to both schools I applied to and submitted the score to. This was 3 years or so ago.

"3 out of 4 Grads Agree We Helped Advance Their Careers!" - Rasmussen. I wonder what the 4th thought...

Grade inflation...

I'm sorry, but at that point I'm with the people outside the arts who are shouting "GET A JOB!" when reading this.

Your fortune cookie just compelled you to kill. That's troubling.

"No GRE Grad Schools." Umm.. thanks.. but I did ok on the GRE.

No. Got the money? They'll take it.

I have a whole fortune cookie ritual. Break cookie, eat first half of cookie. Then read fortune.. if you commit to the fortune presented you eat the rest of the cookie. If you reject the fortune, you're going to have to hold on to it - the paper - and not eat the rest of the cookie. You have to take the fortune and nail it to a cherry tree when it blossoms to rid yourself of the malevolent or disagreeable fortune. I have no idea where I learned this or why I do it, but I do. As yet, I've not needed to resort to nailing anything to a tree, but I've kept it in mind every time I crack open a cookie. That said.. today's fortune: "Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises."

"Nice is different than good."

In life, to succeed you must be two of the following three things: Nice, fast, good. While you can arguably somehow fail at all three and be successful, failing upward if you will, I don't know of any cases where someone has pulled off the trifecta of being competent on all three measures.

Well, if it's going to be a bag of nails, might as well bludgeon those who are against me with it, no?

Still Rassmussen, bu this time it's "FACT: Complete your bachelors degree in 18 months." Um, thanks, i have my BA. Had it longer than 18 months.

Not sure if the time accrues or what, but you're probably in the initial deferment period anyways. Poke around and see. The mistake people make is paying for a year or two before realizing they could have been on a plan and accruing time toward forgiveness.

Yeah, upon graduation immediately sign up for income based or whatever is offered at the time. Let the clock start ticking on the forgiveness right out of the gate. From undergrad I knew people who made near nothing for a few years and they paid the full payments on their loans instead of the income-based, which would have been zero for many of them. The income based repayment essentially makes it so that you don't spend forever living behind the eight ball if you dont end up having a successful career. PAYE is new to me, so i'll have to see if i should push my old fed loans over into that. Regardless, don't "fear" federal loan debt - be realistic, but if you end up in hard times or just generally poor then you wont be paying all your monthly income to a student loan. Beware of prvt loans though.

Earn my degree, my way.. from Rassmussen.. again.. Apparently something in the search analytics thinks I have a desire to do things MY WAY. Lol.

Well, how is it useful to know someone's IQ? According to people here, my formally tested IQ puts me in the top 1%. Now go ask people on these forums if they would want me in their cohort or believe that I know much of anything about any of the topics they research? The answer is "not many." Look at my massive negative rep supply. It's not like any of them are going to change their interactions with me based on that bit of information.
