I must say: bright leggings are a staple in my wardrobe, especially if it's the only splash of color in an otherwise muted palette. -

Don't worry, icthere. I'm American and I've never watched an entire game of a professional sporting event, either. Every person is different and it's impossible to generalize or assume that each person with a shared overarching culture will have the same experiences, desires, interests, or otherwise. My best advice to you is have great conversations, be true to your interests, and be willing to try new things. Ask questions about things you don't know. If you have an interest in watching a basketball game and you come across someone who loves basketball, tell them you'd love to check out a game because you've never seen one. People love to share their interests with others.

Dressing the Part . . . for Girls!
mirandaw replied to American in Beijing's topic in Officially Grads
I remember reading Nina Garcia's 100 items every stylish woman should own and adapting it for myself, but it's hard to get down with the dark neutrals as someone who loves her cat eye glasses, blue eyeliner, and red lipstick. I am going in to a professional program, so I'm trying to be aware of the image that I project as I prepare for networking. I suppose this means I shouldn't buy that leopard print dress from forever 21... Thankfully, I was never a sweats and ugg boots kind of person in undergrad. On my list of clothing to buy is a nice pair of jeans. I hate wearing jeans because the low cut style is not tailored to my body at ALL (I've finally admitted to myself I need a higher rise trouser, even if it feels "old"), but I need at least one nice pair. -
This time last year - What were you doing?
mirandaw replied to DeeLovely79's topic in Officially Grads
This time last year, I was waiting for my immigration papers to arrive so I could land as a permanent resident in Canada, and suffering through the worst depression I'd had in years. Things are definitely looking up! -
Apartment hunting with student loans

Landlords in college towns expect you to claim your student loan money as "income." -

Well considering TheFez isn't explicit whether or not they hold a PhD, I'm not sure their thoughts matter!

Regardless of his interest as "controlling partner," if the contract dictates co-authorship, he has no right to breach the contract without both parties revising the original stipulations, regardless of his standing as advisor. It is extremely unethical, not to mention illegal. The advisor should have known when the contract was drawn up that 50% co authorship on a published work implies that the second author (student) did the work and should not have agreed to the arrangement in the first place. Semantics aside, there should be a formal meeting with the department head and board of ethics at the very least. It SHOULD hurt this advisor's career - they should have known better. (which is not to say you shouldn't tread these waters carefully. You also have a lot to lose here.)

For a place to stay while you look, you could consider couchsurfing for a day or two. There is also apartment sharing. A friend in my building uses this website http://www.airbnb.com/

I've been desperate for a rabbit for ages now. I had an angora for a while but she passed. Theyre seriously the perfect mix of dogs and cats. (also, an aside: I had a dream I rescued three house rabbits that had been dumped outside. Then they all magically bonded and we lived happily ever after, the end)

What is your reasoning for continuing on to a PhD in policy? Have you worked in the field yet? Have you consulted with professors in your masters program regarding the necessity of a PhD?

I can't believe I forgot about half.com. I bought the majority of my undergrad books there.

The basic "dont feed the trolls." You're admitting you're just trolling? Because obviously you're getting SOMEthing out of this forum or else you'd be long gone.
