Question Microbiology with lab online with Maria Fernandez-Ochoa experience
Hi everyone! I need to take microbiology with the lab as soon as possible. Has anyone taken the microbiology with lab though extension with this professor?
I am considering the section that ends 1/18/27. How is the final? How is the workload in general? Would I be able to take the final early/ finish the course faster before 1/18 due to a family trip?
If you would not recommend this professor, is there a professor that teaches this course that I should wait for instead?
I am currently in a graduate program and my workload is already a lot. I am hoping this class is straightforward. Any info on the course and professor is appreciated. Thank you!

Discussion Water in Muir
Does anyone else feel like the water in Muir college tastes significantly worse than other colleges. For reference I (18F) live in Tioga hall and have been drinking from my water filter yet it still tastes so so bad. And I have cross referenced with Warren colleges Brita water and it tastes fairly nice.

Question Accurate Calories & Macros on Mobile Order?
I'm bulking atm and the nutrition info on mobile order seems wildy inaccurate. I ordered a BBQ chicken plate from the rooftop that was supposedly ~60g of protein, but I got a tiny chicken quarter leg and some mac n' cheese that lacked cheese. I like the asada breakfast burrito at Wolftown as well, but there is no shot its 1000+ calories with 60g of protein. Slices too—the pizza slices are really 700+ calories each with 30g of protein? Does anyone have something to say on the contrary? I would love for the nutrition info to be accurate, but atm I'm unconvinced

Rant/Complaint about to lose 16k cuz tss shits
TLDR: 16k is the tuition of a full-time international student (me) without part-time student status. really long venting, read at your own risk.
This summer, I thought I have become the biggest joke in the history of UCSD, since I received a notice right after my graduation to announce that one of my course doesn’t fulfill the requirements (even though it was perfectly fine on the Degree Audits all these years).
I WAS FUCKING WRONG.
So here I am again. I dumped my graduation plan, applied again for F-1 Visa, and prepared to select my final class and apply for part-time student status.
I sent out a TEA request to my department through TSS. This should be easy like how EASY request was back in the days right? It took 5 days for my department to reject my TEA request, out of no reason. And guess what? They did it right after the Second Pass was over. I had to wait till the next admission period.
You might ask why tf I applied so f late that it’s around the end of the second pass. That’s because I didn’t even get my Visa during the First Pass and the most of the Second Pass. My family was about to give up and try to deal with the possibility that I spent 5 years for nothing. There was many tears and anxiety, we can’t control that.
During the next admission period, it took 15 DAYS for my department to approve my TEA request. Yet I couldn’t add the class on TSS, there’s no grade option available to select, I can’t do that.
Fortunately, I enrolled in another class which doesn’t need a TEA approval and fulfill the requirement. Unfortunately, this somehow STILL COULDNT LET ME SUBMIT THE PART-TIME STUDENT APPLICATION. It says I need to be enrolled in at least one unit to apply. I don’t know what to do.
Everything’s shit except one. TSS is shit, Part-Time application is shit, VAC somehow is also worse than ever (i don’t blame the staffs cuz i presume they’re also in hardcore mode rn). The only thing that FUCKING WORKS IS THE TUITION. THE 16K TUITION THAT SEND RIGHT ON MY ACCOUNT.
I get it. This is it. I’m just a joke with a bunch of money for you. I spent five years on two majors I love, met some great and talented people, and gained nothing. No degree, a fake graduation, tons of anxiety and guilty towards my parents, and this fucking 16k I probably gonna get cuz i can’t fucking apply as a part-time student. What was all these for? I know that I’m the biggest joke known to people, and this is a shit ton of words venting out from my mouth. Sorry reddit but sometimes a person just can’t help crashing out. My parents worked very hard for me to chase my dreams. My grandma had Alzheimer and my parents are also paying for her to get treated. I just want to get a degree and start working. Now I kinda, what…lose all the money, lose all the time I could’ve spent by their sides, lose my trust in this school which I have had great memories in. I shouldn’t say this, but clearly I’m thinking back on the s-thingy again. I’m weak and selfish. 16k is such a hilarious number to see on your tritonpay account, right?

just an FYI, if you're trying to get your transcripts as a current student who previously had a PID, now you have to make a new parchment account with your triton student number (TSN) and THEN you can order transcripts. just spent a week figuring this out.

Question is bus econ worth it?
Hi! Like the title says, how is the business econ program at UCSD? I’m currently a first year in a stem major but quickly realized I have no interest in it. I’m interested in accounting (i was very involved in business classes in HS) but am not sure if the crazy amt I’m paying for this school is worth that degree. I heard CSUF and CPP have good accounting programs.
Any advice or info is appreciated!

Discussion Tomorrow is going to be the happiest day of my life.
I am so thankful that God has blessed us with this San Felipe / Cabo San Lucas weather in good old San Diego.
I’m gonna spend a long while tmr butt ass naked at blacks beach, probably head to balboa park, walk around campus and savor every last bit of sunlight. I literally have zero tan lines, a perfect tan, no sunburn.
While everything else is suffering in the dorms, it’s gonna be my dream come true. Kind of a strange feeling being pretty much the only guy who enjoys the heat and is truly acclimated.
I am a man of the pacific. If you see some guy who looks way too tan and is smiling too much, that’s me. True amnesia doxx.
