Inferencing worksheets grade 3

Well, UGEE results have been declared today (where's the guy who said it will be declared on monday tho). Just woke up, checked the result, have cleared reap cutoff but missed supr by 1 mark. Damn it hurts. Prolly gonna join some comedk college.
Anyways, coming back to title, few days ago I compiled a few UGEE interview questions, so thought of sharing them here for those who cleared UGEE (congo for clearing it, hope you clear the interview too).
#1
My friend had the opportunity to appear for the Dual Degree Programs interview. She shared her entire experience with me. Once the document verification was done, the candidates were divided into seven groups. 20 minutes before the interview, she was given a sheet with 3 questions one each from Physics, Linguistics, and Mathematics.

1. (a) Since Newton’s First Law of Motion can be derived from the second law of Motion, what do you think is the relevance of the first law? Did Newton give us three laws when two would have been adequate?

(b) A similar Mechanics question which I don’t remember.

1. A Linguistics Question of Medium Difficulty
2. You are given an equilateral triangle of side length ‘a. Disprove or Prove: Among any five points inside the triangle, there always exists a pair at a distance not greater than a/2.

The candidates were not asked to write the answers but just ponder on the questions for 20 minutes. Soon she was ushered into the interview room where she was welcomed by several warm panelists that asked questions like

• Why IIIT and Why Research?
• Tell us about your family and school education.
• Do you like linguistics?, to which she said that she loved Tamil. He asked further, Do you find the present web applications in Tamil efficient?
• Which field in Computer Science do you like the most?
• Do you have any experience working with Cryptography?
• Where do you see yourself in ten years?

Out of the 3 questions handed in earlier, she was able to solve the Lingo question and even managed to write some satisfactory reasons for the Physics questions but failed to solve the Mathematics question. They further asked questions related to Friction, Work, and Energy. They did not ask the linguistic one and moved on to the mathematical question. They asked her to solve it with their help.
She told them about her extracurricular achievements and they seemed to be impressed. One of the professors ended the interview by saying that if she got selected, she should come with her extracurricular file then. The entire interview lasted for 50 minutes and she considers it to be one of the most memorable interviews.

Eg: suppose you're stranded on an island and you know that the nearest landmass is n distance away. What is the shortest method to reach that. And other pcm questions with most of them relying on logical reasoning. The interview should be 2 way, i.e. only you shouldn't be the one talking and nor should the interviewer be the only one talking. If you get stuck on any question ask them for time to think or ask them for suggestions. Some questions won't have any answer and they're only looking for how you think and whether you're teachable or not, not whether you get the right answer
#3
The interview questions can be based on some concepts in math and physics, or they can be completely logic based (strategizing, puzzle solving, etc). They want to know how well you understand the questions, how you break it down into simpler problems and how you think through it...they are not as interested in the actual answer. We are not supposed to share the exact interview questions so please don't ask/DM me about that lol. All I can tell is that I was asked two questions, first one was based on 3D geometry and the second one was purely logic based, basically I was given an emergency situation and was asked to create a strategy to get people out of the situation; not going into the details.
In general, you don't need to "prepare" anything specially for the UGEE interview. They just want to evaluate you based on critical thinking and research aptitude. The REAP paper is designed for the same purpose.
You can recollect your past accomplishments and formulate them with you hobbies so that you can present them well in front of the interviewers. Don't get mushy, don't exaggerate anything but at the same time, don't hesitate to share any hobby or achivement however unrelated it might be. They are not judging you only by your PCM grades, rather they want to evaluate you broadly as a person, someone having the research aptitude and interest. The institute is most ambitious about their dual degree course

Question 1
It was based on a truncated polyhedron, the first part asked the shape we would get if we cut a cuboid along the opposite vertical edges. There were three more parts, obviously tougher than this, but he skipped them and went to the second question, maybe because of lack of time. I don't remember them.
Question 2
“An astronaut in space wakes up after years, not feeling weightlessness. Give possible arguments.” Well, the language was not the same, but similar.

Q: There are 10 stones lined up & you are standing at the first stone. You can move only forwards by 2 ways: (a) moving 1 place ahead ; (b) moving 2 places ahead by skipping a stone. How many possible ways can you reach the 10th stone?
A: I made around 5 cases wherein there would be 0/1/2/3/4 double-jumps (with the rest being single-jumps). And partially calculated it using PnC, until one prof asked me to explain my thinking and approach towards the qs. I think I explained it well (with a diagram for the cases) and we had a brief discussion abt it for a min or so. (He said I don’t need to fully calculate it)
Now, we moved to a physics question**, a very basic qs to test your thinking:**
Q: A balloon is filled with air(with a light rope) and placed in the centre of a closed room, what will happen to it?
A: It will fall down because of the weight of the rubber and of the rope.
Q: Right, let’s say that the rubber & the rope have negligible mass, what would happen now?
A: It would remain stationary in the room.
Q: Okay now if i fill helium to this, what will happen?
A: It will either move upwards or downwards depending on the resultant of the weight of the rubber+rope & the buoyant force.
Q: Now let’s say that the helium balloon is tied to a very long and heavy rope, what will happen to it?
A: It will not move upwards, but stay stationary due to the tension in the rope.
Q: Okay, so now I give you a scissor, with the same apparatus as prev qs, how will you make sure that the balloon doesn’t fly up to the ceiling.
A: Sir I’ll keep shortening the rope from bottom to top in order to reach equilibrium (I should’ve worded it better that day lol)
Q: But if you cut it too short, won’t it fly up permanently?
A: Yes sir, absolutely, it will. So what I’ll do is I’ll cut it long initially, and keep cutting it until the weight of the rope is equal to the buoyant force on the balloon. And more the net force, faster the balloon would go in the upward direction, so I can judge the equilibrium point becoming closer as the balloon starts moving up slower & slower.
Q: Okay but how will you make sure that the balloon is stationary and not moving here-and-there?
A: Sir I will bring the balloon-rope system in equilibrium, to the centre of the closed room, and hold it stationary for a while so that there’s no constant velocity on it. This will make sure it’s stationary because there’s no other external force on it.
Q: Very good Sarthak. So, let’s move to one last qs, say I filled a balloon with air like the very first qs, in the morning, and left it like that till the evening. What do you think will happen? — just briefly think and answer, we just want to know your approach & thinking.
A: Umm sir, we’re assuming the balloon to be air-tight right?— Like no air can escape from the bottom hole (at where the string is attached)?
Another Prof: Ahh I like your thinking here, good. Nice.

They asked me about my hobbies and interest and why i am interested in research ? Why I want to join IIIT Hyderabad? All at once
I answered them that my hobby is watching youtube videos, I am interested in volunteering and working with Ngo's and I am also interested in opening up electronic items and trying to repair it.Then why research? - I answered them that I want to become a scientist and research allows me to think out of the box and -------xyzabc---------.
Then comes the technical part.
Que1.The asked me what is arithmetic mean of (x1,x2,x3,x4……..xn)
Que2.Then they asked me their geometric mean
Que3.Then they asked me the relation between 2 que and arithmetic mean of (logx1,logx2,….logxn)
Que4.They asked me about the class 9 que that when a load carries in railway station carry a load is their work is zero and if yes why do they get tired?
Then they kept asking question around this only is air resistance is zero no friction etc …

3 questions - one from matrices and binary numbers, one from thermochemistry and thermal physics, and one from linguistics .
I was given roughly about 15 min to solve the questions. I solved the 1st two questions quite easily as they were simple ( also note that the first question of matrices and binary numbers was also error prone and very loosely defined I considered it to be wrong and so also discussed this with the pannel “All of them gave me a smile”.)
After trivia on the matrices problem and the linguistics problem the professors started asking me independent question which were very elementary questions from the fields of linguistics. They also asked me to represent certain decimals and and certain numbers in binary format as an exercise.
Then they asked for my board's percentage and my mains percentile and why I opted for 5 year programme. For the all the questions I was honest and especially for the last I told them it didn't matter to me if it was 5yr or 4yr .
My suggestion to you guys:
The interviewer are not there to know the right answer, rather they are there to analyze how you are able to think about the solution to see whether or not you fit for being a part of research institution. If you don't know answer to something, ask them for hints but don't get stuck anywhere and don't fear much, just be clear with your basics, no need to go on to deep learn the subject. Know a little about the branch that you wanna opt for. If you have an extra curricular, do tell them. Don't oversell anything, just be true to yourself and it will be a cakewalk. Also they will definitely ask for your hobby, do keep a few of them in mind and know a bit about them too. Like if you mention to them that you like reading novels, they will prolly ask which type of novels, or which is your faviourite one, tell lessons that you learnt from that novel, same goes for any other hobby. They are there to judge your personality and thinking ability. Sit down whener you are free, form a good intro for yourself including hobbies and all and try on to frame questions yourself, this way you will be prepeared for D-Day. Dont take stress during interview and try not to fumble, it will all be good

Hi guys. I’m british but went to school in a foreign country till this year. Unfortunately i joined my new school in year 11 which sucks honestly because every single subject has a different spec than i’m used to (i previously did CIE IGCSE). I was an A* student at my old school and my mocks (which i wrote after just 3 weeks of being a British student) went really well with my grades being 97777644. My 4s, which are still passes, were in literature and sociology (which i no longer do). I’m naturally good at literature and luckily at my old school, i did 2 out of 3 of the texts we are studying. my issue is the poems. It’s impossible for me to do brand new specs in the subjects i know PLUS three more subjects i didn’t do previously (physics, religious studies and this specific literature) and still get a good grade in literature which i’m planning to do at A levels.
if anybody has any tips for learning the poems at this point i would appreciate it forever. i really need a good grade :(

Confusing Situation:
I went to 1st sem in my current university and only stayed there for 3 weeks and dropped out all subjects afterward. I am planning to go to a different institution that I passed the entrance exam when I was still Grade 12 but did not continue and I went on with my current univ.
I contacted my current univ and they said since I dropped out all subjects. Technically, I have not taken or gained any college units and I could still get my Grade 12 Form 138. I contacted the univ that I want to go to and explained my situation and they said if you could pull out the SHS credentials from my current univ. I could still be considered a freshman.
If I get my G12 Form 138 from my current uni would I still be considered a freshmen or a transferee? Because I went to check the uni registrar forms and one of the information in the form says "THAT I HAVE NOT USED MY FORM 138 or FORM 137-A or PEPT or NFE results for enrolment in any Post-Secondary/Collegiate Program which could result in my forfeiture" So I am confused. Does that mean even if i pull out SHS records from my current uni, I am no longer a freshmen and considered as a transferee? Both Schools offer confusing answers

Huhuhu hirap na hirap na po ako sa Intermediate Accounting 3 at sabit lang din Income Tax prelim grade ko😭
Ano po base ng curving sa batch niyo if naaalala niyo pa🫶

My mother had been ill for my entire life. Lots of chronic illness and things they couldn't quite pin down to an exact cause, but were nonetheless there. She had cancer twice in my life, and that was the easy stuff compared to this. My parents didn't get along and were separated. When I was around 10~ she made a deal with my dad. She would get back with him on the condition he helped raise my sister and I.
Well, to say the least, he was still a pretty shitty person. I don't think he has a bad heart, but he certainly is not upto the task of taking care of other human beings. Taking care of my mother essentially got sicced off to my sister and I. She would have grand-mal seizures, blood pool in her legs and come out off blisters that would develop all black, have these weird age regression episodes and all sorts of other medical disasters. She was extremely narcoleptic between when I was about 10 and 16 (this is when she had the regression things too). She also had a rare condition called Addison's which means she couldn't really control her emotional responses and didn't produce the proper hormones. So when my dad would be a dick it'd put her into shock and she'd start turning blue. When this happened you'd have to give her a solu-cortef emergency injection to bring her back into a state of not dying from shock.
My dad was of course clueless and left this all up to my sister and I when we were adolescents, pre-teens and teenagers. I had severe social anxiety my entire life and stunted social development. My mom advocated to put me into home-school after 7th grade since she thought I might do something drastic. I was in home school until we moved to be with my dad as well because of it. She was always my strongest advocate and understood me like no one else on the planet did.
Anyways, to continue her little story. I got sent off to a specialty clinic thousands of miles away with her. Just her and I no one else when I was 14. I lived in a hotel for about a year and then in an apartment near the clinic after that for another year with her. Taking care of her when she could barely move. There was a good half dozen times she was on the brink of death and we barely scrapped by. There was times her heart literally stopped or she completely ceased breathing only to be resuscitated. She would forget who I was for days at a time and regress to being a teenager. She would think I was her brother who molested her when she was little and get moderately violent or irritable towards me (understandably, from her perspective. I do not hold it against her at all). In her times of lucidity she begged me to return to my home with my father. She forced me since she thought she'd really hurt me and my bestfriends father (not even my own father) drove all the way down and picked me up. He drove me thousands of miles all the way back. My dad sent my sister out to take care of her instead for the last year (of 3 she spent down there).
Well, eventually she and my sister came back. I started working at 16 pretty much right after I got home because university was certainly not in the cards economically anymore. When they returned my mom was functional enough to live somewhat normally. She was permanently immune-compromised and prone to fatigue so she was really in no state to work or anything of that sort, but my dad essentially forced her to start working after a few years. He refused to help fix her car (which had just been sitting in the garage rotting away while she had been sick all this time) and would get rough with my sister and I. This would upset my mom so much every-time that she would need her emergency injection or go into seizures. Sometimes he would pin her down or push her down and I would have to fight him off of her and this would make him more and more upset.
My sister left and ex-communicated him. So it was just my mom and I. She secretly stashed away some of her money and came up with a little plot to escape from my dad. Hired a traveling mechanic to fix her car, got extra money from her brother who she barely talked to in years because of history from their childhood. It was a whole situation. She was working in home care for elderly people and turns out one of my dad's childhood friends was on disability. So she took him in so she could take care of him in the comfort of our own home. Less stress, easier, etc.... My dad was naturally pissed for reasons only god knows for her being able to fix her car.
Anyways she finally had enough money. Her and chuck hatched an idea that she takes care of him, she gets paid, and I help with the rest of the apartment cost. I chose last second to stay with my dad. The rationale was I've seen my father have suicidal episodes and knew he was deeply troubled and not fit for the world. He is very old fashioned, only worked for his family, retired at 44 (and then went destitute because the medical debt). I mean this dude can not use a phone to save his life.... He has never written a resume because he never had to. He alienates everyone he has ever known because his ego does not match his status because of our families legacy. He thinks he is some brilliant person that knows all and is infallible no matter what. If you even challenge him he gets violently upset and angry. BUT I still was worried about him. So I stayed with him because I knew he'd be screwed alone.
My mother is much smarter than him.... So I thought she'd be okay with the situation. She was still Ill but I think I was blind to it. Having experienced it my entire life..... So I didn't go with her. Because of her fragile constitution even before she left she had a hip that had broken (and fused back together, without her even knowing), several broken ribs that had done the same, broken knee and a collapsed lung. She also got / had constant shingles because her immune system just couldn't stop it.
Anywho. My mom had been having a rough time after 5 or so months... Seemed the guy she was taking care of was running her super ragged and she was getting super worn down. Due to my stunted development I couldn't drive and my dad was no help there either. He just cash cowed me for my work money like he did to my mother. I was trying to save for a car and driving classes (I'm 24) so I could get a car and visit my mom and help her.
I finally had the resolve... enough of my dad... to admit to her that I should have gone with her. We decided I'd get a car and we would move in together just her and I. Go someplace far away and the rest would be history. She was going to be fine. I was going to be fine. I missed her dearly. When she was gone for 10 months I only saw her face twice when she dropped by. She would hug me and tell me how much she loved and misses me. She absolutely didn't want to see my dads face so I couldn't get him to bring me to where she lived. She didn't want him to know where she was in general.
She was dead less than 48 hours after we had that phone call. She overdosed on her pain medication she had taken for 20+ years while in the ICU (she was in the ICU a lot). The last person she talked to was my grandmother saying she felt like she couldn't breathe and is suffocating. I think it was an accident but I'll never know.
I know the guy she was taking care of was abusing her and that is when I decided that we should move in together. About a week before she died he shit on her carpet and would drag a bunch of homeless people into their apartment and do drugs while she was in the hospital. She kept putting him into rehab and he kept just leaving and coming back. It turns out he fakes a lot of his disability so the government helps him and so he can push people around and is just a drug addict asshole. Last conversation I ever had with her was like 36 hours before she died she asked to borrow money for her phone bill. I of course gave it to her.
After she died and we got the news, by the time we got to her apartment for her belongings everything was taken. Her safe was broken into. The entire place was desecrated and destroyed and looted. Her phone, cards, wallet, purse, car... everything gone. Luckily they left most of the sentimental stuff. There was only 2 people that could have robbed her and the police just kinda don't care.
My dad has been heartless about the whole thing. He doesn't seem to care that much and has been pushing me around harder than ever. Asking me for super large rent payments to live in his house when I told him I need to get a car. It's like he wants me to be imprisoned to him like he imprisoned my mother. Since if I leave he will be absolutely alone. I pay for anything he asks me to already. Thousands of dollars. I didn't mind helping.
I hurt so much inside, since if I went with my mom... chances are she would still be alive right now. She wouldn't have to stress herself nearly as bad ending up in the ICU... getting out and going back to work and repeating. She was always so sick her ending up in the ICU didn't even set off my mental alarms. I would have never known she was so close to death.
She was truly the closest person to me in the entire world. Not a single person was ever more important to me. She made me who I am. She was the only person I saw as not only my parent but an emotional confident. She advocated for me my entire life. She understood me. She in spite of all her own trouble was my rock and my comfort. I loved her with all my heart and I grieve her loss with that and more.
I fear for all the times only her and I shared. Only I have those memories now. I worry about the slow sands of time warping my memories and thoughts. I can never ask her "is that how you remember that". I can never ask her what she thinks of something or for her wisdom. So much of my life just with her it's like it never existed since it only exists within me now. I can never be assured the voice in my head matches her voice in life. I can never be sure she didn't die in loneliness because I didn't make a good enough effort to visit her by my own means.
She was only 48. The idea I'll have lived exactly half my life without her when I reach her age is scary to me. Even more frightening yet is the idea that once I'm old I'll have lived only a fraction of my life with her. She will fade in my memory into the distant past; a nostalgia. I fear becoming someone she wouldn't recognize. I fear every day I have to continue to live without her. When I see the blue skies I think about how it's a blue sky she will never have seen. When I see a TV show I think she would have liked it hurts me to think that I'll never know for sure. It devastates me all the questions I didn't ask her that I'll never know the answer to. What flowers did you enjoy mom?
I wish I would have been less frugal and done more for holidays and her birthday. I so desperately wish for even one hour to talk to her about all this in a final parting.
And what makes me feel just a little better? She had mostly online friends. A self proclaimed recluse. She was very much like me and shy herself. Introverted and just interested in what she was interested in without a care in the world. A lot of her friends have messaged me and other people from throughout our lives telling me how much I resemble her. Not only her physical likeness but in personality. She of course would say this to me herself when she was alive. It comforts me in a weird way to know that I'm so much like her, that I am truly in every way her son, that if I like or dislike something I can say with some confidence she probably feels the same. In a way I feel like I can really experience the things she wanted to do for her. This is the only thing that drives me forward right now. I had been incredibly suicidal until I made this realization.
It also comforts me to know how much people cared for her even when she was in her own world away from the world. When people tell me I have her kind heart and gentle soul I realize that those are qualities they saw in her and respected. And I feel great pride that people would see her in me because I loved her so dearly.
Finding meaning without the person you cared for more than anything is truly a Sisyphean task.
Love you forever and ever mom, I'll never forget you. I'll forever be your little pessimist!

Hi. As the title suggests, I am at a crossroads of a sort. I am in my sophomore year and am currently pursuing a double major in physics and maths.
I just got my grades for my last semester and did quite badly in all the courses that I was enrolled in. I tried my utmost best to do well, studying an average of 10hrs a day, yet still I could not get anything to work out for me. On the other hand, others in my class have all done quite well. I don't think I can continue with this insecurity: that despite trying my hardest, I will never be match up to others in my class. While I will continue to struggle, they will be doing significantly better than me in the future. I also don't think I can get rid of this insecurity, at least not on my own. I think no matter how hard I try; I never will be able to do good in any of the courses I will take in the future.
Further, my concerns over my GPA have also crippled me. I currently have a semi-decent GPA (about to take a nose-dive because of this semester) yet this recent performance is now making me believe that I will continue on this downward trend and will somehow scrape through my undergrad with a GPA of around 3.6. I don't think my grad school prospects are looking any good with this GPA and as such I don't think sticking around in physics without going into academia will be worthwhile. Additionally, with a double major, I am looking at 5-6 years in undergrad, which is a ridiculous amount of time.
This brings us onto the matter at hand. After weighing up these problems, I think my best option now is to switch to some other major. I have talked to my teachers about it, and they have told me to think deeply about this and then take any major decision. Some have suggested instead to drop maths as my second major while others have suggested that my decision to switch may be an escape of a sort from my shortcomings. I don't know how to continue and so am open to any and all the help I can get.

I just hurt so much anymore... I just want to be a girl... but it just feels impossible...
I'm 28 I live at home still, I have crohn's disease and non-verbal learning disorder, I barely work part-time because of my poor health and I get disability support over it.
My Dad is totally transphobic and there's never been any reasoning with him... he's said before he'd disown me or my Sister if we ever came out... My Mom I don't really understand because she's said the same before that if one of us were trans she'd never support us or speak to us again... but then her friend at work has a trans son who she's apparently supportive of so I don't know... My Sister never really makes sense she's seems very transphobic one minute and the next seems supportive.... My Brother-in-law has a friend whose brother is trans and she was very supportive and vocal about him when he was transitioning even defending him. The next she's saying awful things about trans people... I don't know if it's more of she's transphobic when its a child involved and not so much with a grown adult she has said she's fine with adults doing it. But she also seems more transphobic towards transwomen like me so.... I don't know no one really feels safe to talk to...
I have no friends.... I never have really... probably between having non-verbal learning disorder, being depressed my whole life and all the bullying I went through in school... plus now all the social anxiety I have now... I've just never been able to really form a connection with someone... I have one girl who I was closer to then anyone else, she's always been very kind to me. We meant in elementary school after I changed schools in grade 7 and became friends there but she moved away in a year... we haven't seen each other since... but we have kept in touch and I told her I was trans she was super supportive. She still lives far away... and always seems super busy, she says I can talk to her about anything whenever I need to... I just feel like I'm abusing her kindness though...
I've tried looking for therapists around where I live and they all want like $300 a session... I can't really afford that... and they're really hard to navigate... like the one I tried contacting and they had a bunch of people to see and they're just like pick the one that speaks to you, and wouldn't offer any other help deciding....
I doubt my family Doctor would be of much help either... I've never felt like she's ever listened to me when I've gone to see her... I don't know if she'd even listen to me or believe me.... I'm so bad at explaining things especially if I'm scared... I probably couldn't even properly explain what's going on.... plus I don't know if she's maybe retiring soon but there's another Doctor there I've never meant before and if I did make an appointment what if I ended with with him.... that'd just make my anxiety way worse....
I just don't know what to do.... I've read both stress and depression can make crohn's disease worse and like the past year I've been to hospital 3 times over it... basically for me I get a lot of pain in my tummy from it... I'm just stuck in a negative cycle of my mental pain causing physical pain... and everything just keeps getting worse... but if I want things to get better all I have to do is say they're bad.... but I'm too scared to... and so on the cycle goes... at this point I'm just doing it to myself...
Maybe if I could just be brave, maybe I could break this cycle... but it requires strength I don't have... I've never stood up for myself... I always just have gone with the flow and drifted along... I don't know if I could change course even if I wanted to... but somethings got to give... I need help... I can't do this anymore... but I'm too scared to ask for it.... so I continue as always to suffer in silence... even when the suffering becomes physical no one will witness the war that rages within...no one will hear my silent cries...
I just wish I was born a girl... I'd take everything else... just if only I felt human... if only I felt like me... maybe I could carry all these burdens if I was just a girl....
I just want to be a girl....... is that so wrong...? I can't help it... things have always been this way... it doesn't go away it doesn't get better it just gets worse and worse, and she keeps yelling at me to listen to her... but I continue on as if all is fine... well wishing in silence just to be a girl... like wishing absolves me of the need for action and instead leaves it to God to grant me a miracle... but it never happens... if I want change I have to fight for it... but I'm not a fighter...
So once again I utter this useless stupid pointless wish that will never come true unless I can make it.
I wish I was a girl.

(long post ahead)
My dad was, and still is, considered the blacksheep of thr family.
He's the panganay. Out of all his siblings, siya lang yung walang stable na job so no fixed income and obviously, he can't provide for me ever since. Dad had multiple girlfriends after ng separation nila ni mom when I was only 2 y/o and he lived with them kaya I never really spent quality time with him properly. Mom was working overseas to provide for me so naiwan ako sa grandparents ko (dad's parents) and I think since I was his daughter and the first apo of the family and I was under the care or my grandmother na very trad asian ang standard of living, I was forced into that mold of becoming the "golden child".
At the age of 3, I learned how to read and write so at 4, I was sent to kindergarten, hindi man lang primary school. I took multiple summer classes nung elementary ako for computer learning, math classes, English classes, etc. If I wasn't doing a good job, a belt or a hanger would be waiting for me at home. I remember pa na before going to sleep dati, I had to read at least 4 pages off of a Kid's Encyclopedia. Syempre gabi na nun so hindi na mapipigilan ng bata na antukin pero hahampasin ako ng hanger when I even attempt to yawn. I was scared din of my tita, dad's youngest sibling who was the smartest out of them and obviously Lola's favourite. I would hide my report cards kasi kapag nakikita niya, she'd shame me for having fun (take note that I was a kid at this time), and that I should study to get my grades up.
Out of all my cousins, ako lang din ang napalo ng lolo ko and ako lang din ang naka experience ng true wrath ng lola ko while growing up. Sometimes I envy my cousins kasi they have better lives than me. Loving parents na may stable job, and they can be open to them about anything without fearing na baka mapagalitan sila. I felt like I was singled out just because I was my father's kid and it wasn't hard to do so din kasi I'm an only child. Until now, I still have the fear na if I fail in anything I do, I'd be shamed, ridiculed, and belittled kaya I work my ass off for my academics.
I don't live with them anymore. Im now staying with my mom and although life with her isn't as fine and dandy as with my dad's family, I like it here. I still can't do certain things with my mom like open up, or ask for things that I want/need, pero it's better than having someone count everything na hiningi mo sa kanila tapos sisingilin ka rin in the end. I wish I wasn't his daughter, I wish I was his brother's daughter. My tito would bring me on their outings with his wife whenever may tension sa bahay between my grandmother and father (they get into heated arguments na umaabot sa point na naghahagisan na sila ng gamit). Maybe I'm just not important enough to be given attention or love, who knows?

Hey it has been a while since I have been getting 670-680. Anyone who was in the same position what did you do to get that 750?

Hope this is allowed. That video was so triggering.
But, I cant help but think...that was my childhood.
As the only girl in a family of all boys with 3 brothers, under the 2nd grade, my dad would run and attack me in rages like that. I always felt like he was this scary bear charging at me. Id stay in fetal position, blocking out the pain til it was finally over. I just cant believe women experience this from their partners. But the first male in my life as a little girl is the one who did it to me :(

Well, praying that I didn't fail my last two classes💀 I’m finally done with my degree. So why not share my unfiltered opinion/experience that I’m sure Faculty has been eagerly waiting for? Ranking wrt:
Course Content / Instructor / Organization / Exam/Pset Difficulty. Copying most recent post's format. Major congrats and shoutout to all graduating this semester and beyond, it's been more than real.
A lil motivation: don't give up, don't ever give up...
live look at brain having bruh moment during exam (is this a record?)
S-TIER:

1. CS 1110 - Intro CS Python: Will always be goated course for me. After switching majors, was very intimidated by CS. Prof Lee/Bracy & staff were godsent, course was very enjoyable and beginner friendly (duh) while remaining very fulfilling and challenging. Projects/Labs were very helpful and plenty of resources for help, enjoyed studying for exams and material thoroughly. Thank god I did not stick w Matlab (unbiassed opinion why do you ask)
2. ORIE 3500 - Prob & Stats II: An out of whack sequenced class took during summer but love how Goldberg teaches. Not sure if still applicable but grading was very friendly and not a lot of tedious course work but learned a lot and enjoyed class. Exams were challenging but fun and grade cutoff made learning pressure-free. Shoutout D Goldberg one of my favorite professors
3. ORIE 4580 - Simulation Modeling: Took this course w/o prereqs so was unprepared but Henderson is amazing person & Professor and will help you out. Really enjoyed Simio and project/assignments were fun, interactive, interesting. Shoutout Henderson: great guy award helped me through rough spot super approachable/easy to talk to. Decent amount of work and I didn't understand half of it but tools and info still relevant

A-TIER:

• HD 3620 - Human Bonding: Not only easy and straightforward class but content was captivating and enjoyed studying for exams. I recommend this course to anyone, insightful and lends some underappreciated good advice/knowledge🧢
• ORIE 4160 - Topics in Data Sc: Not to meat-ride Goldberg🍔 but top 3 prof I had. Class not tedious BS work; approaches high level topics with colloquial-like speech (not always) and I find learning easy with him. If only he would change his lecture notes format so its not formatted in size 1.5 pt font and jumbledtogetherinasingleboldedsentence, but looked forward to class. Relaxed classroom environment, would sometimes spend entire lecture on one proof but can't complain, was prob important lol
• ORIE 3120 - Tools for OML: liked this class, Frazier is cool and material is well encompassing and useful outside of classroom. cool project; recommend to anyone interested in DS/OR
• PSYCH 1102 - CogSci: Probably my most thoroughly enjoyed class I took here. Honestly would switch majors to this if I had the chance, fascinating stuff and was like exam only easy A
• ORIE 3300 - Opt I: fw'd this course and instructors heavy. Had hard time initially but after time gained decent understanding. Shoutout Ishan/Varun, awesome instructors and great people. Made me like ORIE, f simplex.

B-TIEUSEFUL:

• AEM 2011 S/S Modeling: Took during Summeasynch and was good intro to basics of data analyses/Excel. Fair grading/don't know if ever saw Prof but sure he was coo
• AEM 4060 Risk Sim: Super chill class w Turkey who is sweetie. Another "real world" application class where you gain usable skills so can't go wrong. Very low workload no one showed up, only 3 assignments including Final so def recommend for ENG major requirement. I <3 AEM
• PHYS 2214 III - Waves/Q&M: Prob fav science course taken. Textbook was helpful plenty of recitation/lab help. Amazes me how ppl managed to figure stuff like that out lol. Grade cut off was stupid, a 37 was lower bound for C on exams so ya boy fit in for once. Didn't feel like I was reading out of textbook, felt exploratory
• ENGRD 2700 - Intro Prob & Stats: Took with Callister → My Guy. Interesting character, enjoyed his sarcastic/rude ED responses 😂 Very straightforward course, wish I retained more
• ORIE 3150 - Accounting: Now we're talking. Yaddi know OG Callister got me right. Was nice breaking from OR curriculum and actually useful course. Lecture optional, just read textbook; could get a lil tedious
• MATH 1920 - Multivariable: Zoom math ≠ learning. Not bad think was fav math.

MIDDLE-UPPER-LOWER-TIEGEED:

• ORIE 4340 - Modeling and Computation: Okay didn't exactly give this course a chance due to scheduling but moved pretty fast and Prof severely understated amount of work it would take to catch up. Endless lecture notes and material but still cool class/learned little AMPL but def didn't get what I could have
• CHEM 2090: Took this so long ago i doubt the periodic table is still a thing. Don't remember much except always walking out of exams stunned and lab partner who rightfully hated my ass. Barely passed but in hindsight didn't prepare well as wasn't that hard. Look for better sources
• MATH 2940 - Lin Alg: zoom math smfh. probably the most important/relevant math course and still comes back and haunts me in every OR class so pay attention. Don't take during pandemic or you'll be learning from Youtube
• ORIE 4600 - Financial Eng: Thought I would enjoy more than I did. Struggled with understanding content but also didn't go to class or try so perhaps could have something to do with it🤷 Very forgiving and chill grading scheme, wish I actually payed attention it was super hard to learn from lecture slides
• PHYS 1112 M&H: Don't really remember much tbh, dropped it first time but eventually got the hang of it. I like physics textbooks
• ORIE 3310 Opt 2: Just relearning 3300, boring and already learned material. Grading nice

EASY/CREDIT:

• ECON 1110 - Micro: Covid sem. took online and was pretty easy.
• ECON 1120 - Macro: Exams were more difficult, content is impressively boring and dull. Easy online credit tho
• ORIE 4152 - Entrepreneurship for Engineers LMAO: Don't know how this course got approved/became legit tbh. easiest class on course roster i think there was one HW and just final project as a joke. Got to enjoy a bit more Callister, this semester was a my fav lol
• PSYCH 2940 - Better Decisions: I might need to retake💀
• PE 1430 - Yoga: Odd instructor pretty sure later got fired but loved class lol nice mid-day bool + good for the soul. Best PE credit. Pranayama 🧘
• PE 1420 - Intro to Meditation: over zoom lol.

BUNS:

1. MATH 1910 - Calc I: Did shitty after prelim 1, not bad course but possibly recommend taking CASE exam if you already know material, kind of waste
2. ENGRD 2110 - Obj-Oriented Prog: Took in summer, was hopeful after enjoying CS1110 but class and content not as fun. Liked VanHattum, call me?
3. PHYS 2213 - EM: Imma be 100p here and not even pretend I deserve credit hours for this course but was available online (ilovecovid) so that was no brainer. Least favorite stem class. Dont cae
4. PSYCH 2350: Don't remember taking this. typical canvas credit course

FEVER DREAM / C&B TORTURE:

1. ORIE 3510 - Stoch Proc I: Second class I failed 😎 Somehow made less sense 2nd time. Cursed course its hard to recognize when you are fully wrong/using wrong intuition but you might not realize this until you get a 31 on the Final. Must attend in person. Thought it would cake retaking but had Scully who is great guy/genius but taught it almost entirely different format than previous year. Info seemed to go in one ear (wp= u/λ) and out the other, not a fan of his notes/material organization. Scully is huge improvement from Dai nonetheless.
2. MATH 2930 (First time😉)- DiffEq: My first failure!🤓 (took it when it was hard i swear) Even though 1st time through was rough, enjoyed solving equations and remains my central to major, def most involved of required math courses. Restructured version was an actual joke compared to previous year, legit had the option to retry & submit everything you turned in until you essentially got it right via brute-force submitting every possible answer.
3. FWS: (Challenges of Modernity): Sigh
4. ENGRI 1160 - Modern Structures: cool project but prof was hard to understand and psets were way too hard for sem1 intro eng course. TA could barely help, made me switch out of civil
5. FWS(Anthrop Persp. of Tech Worlds)?: Now they invent ChatGPT, sick

O-H

1. BIOG 1250 - Biology Seminar (The Rise and Fall of Viruses): Went to class for 3 weeks and learned ab Kentucky bluegrass and rocks, realized class wouldn't count towards major so dropped but figured I'd throw it in here.

I (22M) am applying to med school this cycle and I have good stats (3.87/521) but have a red flag that I have questions about. Earlier in college, I took an EMT course through a CC. I did well during the class, passed the written exam, but failed the course because I forgot to dispose of a needle during the final practical scenario. Obviously my mistake and I understand that. The class wasn't taken for credit, so there was no impact to my GPA. I have a few questions about how I should approach this.
1) Do I need to submit this transcript even though the class wasn't for credit? (I'm assuming yes). My transcript lists the name of the course, number of hours I spent in the course (288) and that it was taken for Continuing Education Units. The transcript doesn't say that I failed the class, it just doesn't indicate a grade at all.
2) Should I address it in my secondaries? Or should I avoid drawing attention to it?
3) If this comes up in potential interviews, what is the best way to approach it?

• Last year, in April 2023, I did an incomplete luxation and initially doctors thought I just had a meniscus tear. It turns out that I have congenital deformations (too high knee cap, abnormal form of knee cap, cavity of the knee not deep enough (trochlear dysplasia)...). This was a first shock because I never expected from a such "tiny" incident it was a much deeper issue.
• This year, in mid April 2024 I began to feel my bones slide 3-4 times a week. Electric shocks sometimes until my toes, constant pain even when I rest. I can barely bend and unbend my knee. When I stand up for too long, walk for too long, sit for too long, knee is blocked and very painful. Swelling. I knew something was terribly wrong. For this reason, I came back to my homecountry to check with a doctor and do a scan. I had the results yesterday evening. Now my knee cartilage is injured (grade II). Cartilage doesn't regenerate. Hence, it won't heal or get better, it can only worsen. The speed of my deteriorating condition worries me, in only 1 year I have all these issues ! I was starting to accept my dysplasia diagnosis.
• _____

I'm only 27 years old. This year I finally got admitted abroad into an European medschool after a difficult and competitive medschool entrance test. I was beginning to realise my dream. Now, I'm worried about the future.

• I have a nursing training, what if I have surgery or I can't stand up for long enough ? (if I don't pass the nursing training, I can't pass an entire module of lessons Informatics + English + Work and safety + nursing training. I need to pass everything if I want to officialise all my grades in each subject of the module.
• Next year (2nd year of medschool) ? Surgery recuperation is long, minimum +3 months and disability office said I'll likely won't even have videos of my lectures. I'll miss everything.
• I'm supposed to take the plane tomorrow to go to my last week of lectures (mandatory attendance) and pass 2 exams. All my lectures are located on a floor without any elevators, only stairs. It will further deteriorate my condition and I nearly can't use them. Made of slippy material. Use crutches ? I could, but the problem is I have dysplasia to my left knee as well, just less serious than the right knee.
• Yesterday hospital refused to give me an injection of corticoids despite having the bottle of medicine just because it wasn't explicitly written on the family doctor prescription. It was on the radiologist prescription. It was my hope to be free of at least a bit of the constant pain. Lost hope. __ My life isn't an easy one and everything accumulates. Was bullied for 7 years, from age 9 to 16. Still have post-traumatic stress disorder because of it. I face severe depression and only found 2 days ago (I hope) a correct mental health professional. No family, no doctor, no one helped me when I was a kid. Ignored or blamed at most.
  
• Family doctor, psychiatrist suspect also an undiagnosed ADHD and it would explain why I faced difficulties as a younger child, I was even told I couldn't achieve anything in life by elementary school teachers. I was excluded from social activities of the school by adults, abused even sometimes.
  
• 3 days ago, specialist in occlusion dentistry detected several severe problems with my jaw.
  
• Despite being top of the year of my class, I was rejected from medschool in my homecountry because of covid and being the first year they tested a new course to get admitted into medschool. They changed some rules 3 days before my exams and was fucked. It happened 3 years ago and I'm still hurt by this. Especially because at least they provided recorded lectures, which would be so useful today.
  
• ____
  
• My life feels so unfair. I'm strong, I can endure, but I think human psyche can't hold too much stress and pain if you are never given the chance to relax even for one month. I'm pissed. I'm desperate. I'm scared. I just wish some people could understand how difficult it is to be emotional neglected as a kid, blamed for issues (if ADHD) I didn't decide for myself, the bullying to be so severe it causes me trauma and depression even years after, receiving a lot of medical diagnosis in only one year. It feels too much. I'm tired. Please let me enjoy life for once !
  

I honestly don't know where to start. My dad has never been a good person for as long as I can remember. I (18) have 3 siblings. 24,23 and 4. Growing up me and my siblings were always abused. We would get thrown into walls, beat until we were bloody and weak. Handcuffed to our beds and couldn't get up unless we screamed out and asked. We couldn't get water unless we asked. We couldn't use the bathroom unless we screamed and begged. Even then my dad would stand outside the bathroom and if we were there linger than 5 minutes he would open the door or even rip us out the bathroom. It was worse for both my siblings. I was my dad's favourite. I wish I wasn't. But it made things easier. I experienced what they went through but less. My brother used to wake up with my dad beating on him. Sometimes for things he didn't even do. My dad would fight us at the ripe age of 7. I dint mean whoop our ass either. I mean actually beat us. Chase us around the house, pull our hair punch us in the rips. Make holes in the walls from our body. And my mom stood by, watching. She too was afraid. Some days we were forced to get naked. He would bring people over like his friends or his family and they would watch him beat us in our underwear. We were kids. We were girls. Girls getting beat in front of grown men. Screaming and crying begging to stop and let us go. Nobody helped us. They just watched. They sat by and just fucking watched. Some came back and were still around my father but most left. They couldn't be friends with a man like him. I wish I could describe what that man had done to my brother but my sibling won't tell me. It's been years since my brother moved out, he's left that life behind him and I'm so thankful for it. My brother is happy. Living with his girlfriend and making music now. My sister's however, we all live with our parents. And every day, I see my mother in agony. He beats her. He Screams in her face. He throws knifes at hern and when she says she's gonna leave he throws himself in our garage and tells her he's going to kill himself. So she fights for him to stay alive. Because she still loves him even though she's being mistreated. Even though he's mistreated us. Her children. He cheated on her with his friend. (Let's call her B)
B had a child of her own, she came into our lives when I was in about 6th grade. She was horrible. She clearly wanted my father. She made up things about me and told them to my dad so I would get in trouble. She misconstrued my words till I was grounded for being disrespectful or thrown at my mother. My mom knew everything that went on. She saw her. B would push me into the walls and on the floor. They forced me to call her daughter my sister. Throughout my protests, they never stopped. I would actually get beat for saying she wasn't. She called my dad, daddy even though she HAD a dad. This is the woman my dad first started cheating on my mom with. My mom would coom and clean. Take care of him financially . Let this woman into our house. Into our lives only for her to turn around and fuck it up. One day I went to walk my dog and when I got back my father was in handcuffs. How funny. It wasn't me anymore. It wasn't us being Handcuffed. In some twisted fate there he was. Sitting in our lawn. 10 police cars all over my street. So many officers guarding the house and him. I cried. Maybe he was gone forever. I don't care about what he did. I care about how long he's going to be gone. My mother informed me that his mistress b scratched his face in an argument and he abused the fuck outta her in front of her child. Then took her phone and left. I prayed that day. I prayed he would be gone forever. I prayed he would never make it back home. And yet he did. My mom begged me and my sister's for bail money. And it's my mom. As much as I hate that man. I love my mom. I would do anything for her. I tried to tell her I didn't want to. He wasn't good for us but she cried into my arms. She didn't want my little sister to grow up without a dad. She was financially dependent on him even tho he didn't have a job at the time. I'm guessing he got a check because he was ex military but I'm not sure. He came back the night before thanks giving. Next morning he disappeared. Told my mom he was gonna kill himself then went silent. Mom begged me to talk to him. SHE said he was only willing to talk to me. She begged and begged " please baby, please I don't want to lose him" I couldn't say no. So I sat outside by the ring camera. Alone. At the age of 14 I talked my dad out of killing himself. By. Myself.
Now years later, B hasn't been in out lives and he's cheating again. My mother despises him. If he drops dead today she wouldn't care. She just wants to be a person. She's told us to pack a bag in case he goes crazy she's ready to leave. He's cheating on her with a woman from him new job. She found pictures of her nudes on his watch. I pray for my mommas safety. I will fight for her. I'm old enough now to understand that my mom was afraid too. I'm old enough to understand that sometimes you just need to put down a man if he hurts your family. He isn't my dad and he's not a real man. I wouldn't normally wish death. But he may deserve it.
(Sorry if there's typos I literally broke the right hand side of my screen so I can't see anything n I don't have money or a car to go fix it ) <3

Context:I recently called my my doctor and asked them for help on my mental health and they referred me to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist asked if I had any trauma and I just kept on thinking on when my parents found out I self harmed.
It was around when I was 16, ~6 years ago. I remember how I was eating dinner and my long sleeved shirt was too small so my mum saw the scars. (Asian immigrant parents) I don't remember much after but I do remember my mum beating me. My dad just left the house. My sister telling me my body is ugly now and I can never go out swimming etc. I remember my mum just calling me a failure while crying and beating me ahahah. She told me to get the tool used, I did not give her the actual item. I just gave her my metal ruler instead. She was shouting at me "how could I do it" and she was saying how she's going to do it right Infront of me, luckily my sister told my mum stop.
I remember my dad picking me up from school the next day which is rare since it's always my mum. My dad just kept on laughing and smiling at me saying "haha, you can't handle GCSEs, how can you handle adult life when you are older" and kept on chuckling to himself. This just made me hate myself even more since my birthday was happening the next day (3 days after they found out)
I think it was a month later? The school had a standard parents meeting about our mock GCSEs results and my dad couldn't go since he was working so my sister went instead and my mum just told me straight up my dad is not here since he is embarrassed of me because I got average grades
It's like a flip switch in my brain and I stopped caring about my life after that and I don't talk about my personal problems to them anymore.

I've gathered all the information for the past 5 weeks from dev updates and twitter posts. For a mid season i think its just fine, shame that the release of the season was not great. Here it go
1-New infamy set and notorious items
2-a new mission type (JL Watchtower)
3-mutators rework (no longer we will have anything that limits players gear and builds)
4- green lantern infused enemies and Superman Brainiac (I know the fight is 70% similar, but there are going to be new gimmicks, just like flash and lantern)
5- Metropolis is getting its level up from 5 to 8 (each level will have specific item and drop rewards)
6- Corrupted items (better overpowered versions of notorious items that can only drop from bosses)
7- Being able to break items in mission rewards screen.
8-Tier 2 and 3 of infamy sets can now drop from any mastery (and they said that their aproach for the tier items are changing, no longer a "Weakest to strongest" stuff)
9- Being able to craft recipes from previous episodes and Being able to craft master items
10- master items and Master Weapons are now getting 4 master grades (they get to five, imagine something like the +ring in dark souls/elden ring)
11-New incursion missions are getting more mechanics (lex 2 field analysis) burning enemies get double damage from all sources (Funny Pages) squads critical damage is amped by 150% (seaside amusements)
12-Lower Promethium costs
13- New enemy type “Promotinauts” (support enemies that can promote allies (grunts-bombers-destroyer)
14-Progression through mastery levels is made easier. (Unclear by how exactly)
EXPOILER FROM KNOW ON
From the information we have from leaks, Flash is getting back to life after Superman Brainiac is defeated.
Repeating myself, as a mid season, this is quite good, but the season 1 release really lacked.
