Random question here...

Does the bookstore buy back books in September only? Or will they do the same when the winter term starts in January?

Thanks in advance :D

Hey, Theatre students: can you help me out with a few questions regarding the application process?

My own background: I'm a third-year Philosophy student applying for admission to Theatre as a first or second-year student in September 2010, hoping to land in production. I've been working on this with the department since August, so I'm familiar with the formal process and criteria, but I'd like to get some input from people who have been through this process (successfully!) to fill in a few gaps. :)

The questions I'm concerned with at the moment:

1) How long do they want your application to be? In answering the "why do you want to study theatre at York?" question, I'm tempted to ramble on and on for seven or eight paragraphs. Is this excessive? Do they want a biography ("I've done XYZ, so I'm awesome."), or more of a philosophy? ("I'm passionate about XYZ, so I'm awesome.")

2) At the audition appointment itself, will it be in a group or solo? How long are you expected to speak for? What sort of materials would someone applying for production present?

3) Any general advice on the application process?

Hi everyone!
I just started taking this new pill my doctor prescribed (it's been three days now), called Cyestra -35. When I went to see him my main concern was my severe back/face acne but I was also interested in getting on the pill since my and my partner are going steady now.
I spent the past week or so reading information online about Cyestra (not to mention I have almost memorized the pamphlet), and it's all too vague for me to feel comfortable. First of all, the pill is described as an acne treatment FIRST, and a contraceptive SECOND. Is this in terms of effectiveness?? Should I be taking another pill combined with Cyestra -35, or another non-oral contraceptive like condoms??
I would appreciate answers from long-term users of this pill, or someone who has information SPECIFIC to Cyestra -35.
Thank you

While having sex with my boyfriend, the condom leaked, it didn't break, it just made a pool under us. I don't think there was any on my vagina but it leaked just under it. I immediately washed it off and changed my underwear. We filled the condom with water to check for a tear, there was no rip. I was off my birth control for a while but started taking it after the incident. We had sex on a Thursday and I got my ovulation fluid (the egg white type) on Saturday. It's been a little over a week and my nipples are tender and dark, but my areolas are not darker. I feel more tired. I don't know if I should be concerned. I haven't been eating well lately so that might explain my fatigue.

Alright,

lately I've been having a lot of problems and I'm not really sure where the problem lies, but I thought someone here may have some insight.

When I was 15 I was put on Ortho TriCyclen, and after a few months, switched to OTC-Lo, which I am still on now. I'm almost 23.

I have never had any problems with it before, and I've always loved it. I'm hesitant to switch to anything else, because I never experienced any real weight gain (MAYBE 5 lbs?), my periods come like CLOCKWORK- I seriously always know exactly when I'm going to start which is amazing, and I love, and it has always protected me awesomely from getting pregnant, no scares at all.

BUT over the last eight or nine months, I have noticed such a change in my behavior. I moved in with my boyfriend last July, and we've been together almost two years. I used to have an AWESOME sex drive.

When we first got together, I had just started a Paxil + Xanax cocktail for depression and anxiety. I kept the xanax, because I only take it when I have a panic attack, but I kicked the Paxil after about seven months because it made me feel worse. I had a struggle with side effects for about two months, then I thought maybe I had it under control. Well, ever since then, I have noticed that I have lost joy in basically everything. Now, for full disclosure, since July I have been working two jobs and going to school full time. BUT, I really am lost at to what the problem is.

I no longer have hardly any interest in drinking, I never want to do anything, I barely leave the house, constantly want to be alone, etc. My sex drive, which I previously stated was awesome, is NON EXISTENT. It's causing so much more stress with my boyfriend because he thinks I'm uninterested in him, which is not the case at all. I still love him, I still think he's sexy,etc etc, I just am not interested in sex at all. Sex is a chore, and I hate that.It didn't used to be that way at all.

Basically, I don't know where I'm going with this. I don't know if it's that I need to be put on another anti-depressant, or if I do need to switch birth control (I read a forum where people who had been on it for years started noticing things like this way down the road), or if it really is JUST the stress and anxiety I've been under lately, etc.
All I know is that this is a sex related issue, and I didn't know where else to ask. :/

Anything!

Hi guys

I just got a letter from the Registrars`s office because I applied to graduate, for June 2010

The letter says I must sucessfully complete 6 FACS credits and 3 communications credits and that I am at the time ineligible to graduate

a) are they couting courses I am registered in for next semester?
b) are they telling me I have to just do those 18 credits next semester? or are they telling me I need to do the credits I am enrolled in for next semester already plus 3 other courses?

Thanks!!

Claire



*** EDIT
After calulating my course requirements and what im enrolled in, Ive figured they are taking into account what I am enrolled in and what I am not enrolled in yet for Winter, so it makes sense

However!!!

On my transfer credit note (course credit exclusion assessment form) upon transfering from concordia I got a
''York equivalent or course credit exclusion'' for 3 credits. The ''level of study'' on the form for this course is 2000, but the course credit exclusion - york equivalent is Sosc 3320  - a third year, three credit course. I figured because the course I took at concordia took a year and not half a year, I was getting the course credited.

its also written : 6 credits can be used in Category D.
The whole table granted me 3 credits for 6 Concordia courses - 12 in communications including the 3320 exclusion, and two in FILM. so... Me and my councellor assumed early on that I had 6 category d credits AND the 3320 requierment filled out

... so why do I see that I need to do another third year coms course?

Argh sorry, if anyone can enlighten I would be glad

My very nice dad went to pick up my prescription at Target today and apparently Sprintec is no longer being manufactured!

The pharmacy did not give the option of getting the brand name, instead they are filling my prescription at another Target way across the city where they still have some in stock.
I have it on auto refill. They should have called me! I wonder if I can buy several months at once? That would be awesome.

Has anybody heard about Sprintec being discontinued? Does it just affect this certain generic? Are there other generics out there for Ortho Cyclen that are still $9?

I guess I could just call around for the answers, but I just wanted to share because I thought it was just weird.

Okay so here is what happened,

I went to see a movie with my friend last night, and to keep the effectiveness of the birthcontrol I took it with me to the movie and waited to about the usual time that I take it. I took it and then put it into my purse and went back to watching the movie, like the billions of other times I've done it. Anyway today, went to go take it at the usual time and I found the pack was missing! I searched my purse and the house inside out and still can't find it.

So to calm me down my parents told me to start a new package on where I left off. I keep really good track of which pill and day I am on. I mark it on my calendar, but I am still kinda worried if it is the right thing to do.

Oh and I am currently on Yazmin 21.

Hi all,
I posted here back in June when I first got on Microgestin and was suffering from nasty nausea/side effects. Those side effects went away, and y'all were very helpful. So thanks. :)

However, I've noticed that the pill is throwing me very out of wack emotionally - I cry at the drop of a hat, yell at my boyfriend, and feel quite depressed. My doc is notoriously hard to reach, so I've gotten an appt with her right after the new year. So, I decided that this would be my last month on this pill, and I would keep a journal of my "symptoms" each day to really pay attention. Then I could talk to my doc about the symptoms and probably stop after my withdrawal bleed.

BUT. All of a sudden, the pills are giving me extreme nausea and diarrhea, like they did when I started. I'm on day 4 of the active pills, and I'm waking up in the middle of the night with nausea so bad I can't get back to sleep. Not to mention cramps and gas. (Sorry for all the gruesome detail.)
I tried taking it a little earlier, with more food, but I still have these nasty side effects.
Why would these kick back in after 6 months? I don't want to stop mid-cycle, as it will screw up my period, but I can't function like this for 3 more weeks (especially not during Christmas and New Year's) :(

I have a call in to my doc, but she is, again, notoriously hard to reach. If I stop mid-cycle, will that completely screw me up? Or would it be best to try to stick it out through the month? (And why the heck have these side effects come back after 6 months?)

What is the biggest lie you live?

I'm on Ortho Evra and I change my patch every Monday. I forgot to change it on Monday this week and just put it on (a day late). How long should I wait until I can have condomless sex? It was at the beginning of my cycle (week 1). I'm a bit confused. Thank you. :)

Hi! I'm Meghan and new to this community. I've been on several birth controls, but due to a bleeding disorder, my obgyn put me on Jolessa, the generic Seasonique. The first 3 months went fine, but due to a low iron count, they wanted me to skip my first placebo week. So, I'm now midway through my second prescription, about a month and a half in, and since they made me skip the placebos, I havent had a period in 4 1/2 months. Problem? Spotting.
I don't take my pill at the exact minute every night, it's usually within an hour or two of the previous night. But I'm getting (sorry) a brownish discharge, but sometimes deep red/bright red bleeding. This has been going on for about three-four weeks now. Any suggestions on what has helped/is this normal? I've been sleeping alot, too. And cramps are my enemy. So, do you think taking it at the same time will help!? And any other suggestions, I'll take them! Thanks a ton :)

Hi guys!

I know this won't be likely, but I'm hoping there's a chance..

I was at Scott Library this afternoon on the 2nd level where all the computers are between the times of 1pm-3:30pm. I sat on the computers next to the printers. In my rush to hand in my essays on time before the department closed, I accidentally left my USB there, plugged into the computer! HAS ANYONE SEEN A NEON PINK, 1GB USB KEY? :(

If you have, please comment here or email me at: sphinx18@mail.com

I am really strapped for cash and literally down to my last $20 so I'm REALLY sorry the reward won't be big at all, but I am willing to go poor just to get my USB key back. (In case you're wondering, I bought the USB for $10 last year so it's very plain-looking. But my school work is on there! :()

I'm going to check with the library and lost & found tomorrow, but I also wanted to take a chance here in case someone found it and decided not to keep it. :P

I'm in ACE, and just saw a second fire-truck go by.

This is really annoying. I had a break last week, took my first new pill on thursday, but forgot to take one on friday and saturday. I'm now bleeding again. Is there anyway I can catch up on my pills to stop this or do I just have to have a week of blood again?

Anything!
