I wonder if I have some setting turned on that make my posts invisible to everybody else.

Edit: I talked to cantwait, she's doing fine.

I recognize you ray allen and I celebrate each and every post you make Word.

[rayallen20]

Good to know.

[OnceLost]

I saw those posts, rayallen.

That would be kind of a creepy post feature...you'd be like Bruce Willis' character in 6th Sense, mistakenly thinking that other people are reacting to your conversational contributions. In this case, however, you've realized it.

I TXT dead people.

oh good, I was worried

[rayallen20]

Well it was kind of the opposite of Bruce Willis. As in I answered someones question regarding opting out of UVA's health insurance (I Think J-Rod's, too lazy to look) providing basis and links. Then I proceeded to ask a question. This was met with no acknowledgment at all. This honestly led me to believe that my posts were invisible or something. Guess not.

i read, recovering from vacation so was too lazy to respond:

but yea, seems you got everything in. i still need to run a physical middle of the month and then my health paperwork will be complete. like j-rod and cantwait i need to wait till mid july at the earliest to send in the transcript.

[nipplehead]

I Set-up my UVA E-mail
I set-up my ISIS account
Setup LawWeb

how do we do all these things? is there a guide thing somewhere that i didn't read? (probably)

If you go back a bunch of pages on this thread, you can find how to set-up your @virginia.edu email account. Once you have that set-up, you will receive e-mails in your new account advising you how to setup LawWeb, ISIS, etc.

Appreciate the response. In case you didn't know, UVA does not require a physical of any kind with the Pre-Entrance Health Record; they only need the required immunizations. Unless you want one for self-assurance, then it is not required as long as you have gotten those shots.

[sialeeds]

I liked how "lower airfare" was specifically listed as a reason you may NOT change an exam....

I KNOW. I called, thinking there was a 1% chance that I could move it since I was calling in June and the exam is in... December. And I booked the ticket before I had settled on a law school. But nope.

Me: Well, I guess I'm out $800
UVA: Yeah, sorry, that sucks



I'm moving in August 2nd... who else will be there by then?

[tkm.]

I'll be there

yea, i just get a yearly physical. easier for the doctor to check my records and fill out the form for me.

sialeeds, i feel bad for you. one thing i particularly hate about air travel...

[OnceLost]

I'll be there, sialeeds, with the family. And the dog, apparently, since we can't find anyone who is willing to pet-sit for three years.

Here's a picture of me (with the goatee), my son, and my furry "child."
--ImageRemoved--

And I use the phrase "goatee" quite loosely.

This is where those oh so important negotiating deals will become important with your professor. It's called a gentlemens/gentlewomens agreement - You simply have to convince your professor to let you sit the exam earlier than you otherwise would have.

Say perhaps if you were to arrange a sidetrip in Thialand (or a law firm somewhere your layed over) to speak with someone, anyone regarding a remotely good reason to miss an exam. That way you can say not only do you have a flight booked, you also have an appointment (cue puppy dog eyes).

Yeah, I second your concerns about missing something, rayallen and nip - this is where a centralized timeline/checklist of "absolutely everything you must do before you enroll" would be way helpful!!! I keep thinking that I'll forget something!

But as far as I know, you have done everything I think we need to do!

Annnnd August 9th

[satchelGD]

ill be heading up the first week of august, anyone wanna go see pineapple express the weekend it comes out?

Here's the minor hiccup: "exceptions may not be granted by individual faculty members." But I like your line of thinking.

The fact that they have such a long list of reasons why exams can't be rescheduled leads me to believe that a lot of people try this. If so, why can't they just make one nice, friendly, early makeup day? At least the flight, with the $200 increase and $200 penalty (for changing the date) is still cheaper than it would usually be... I just feel bad making my boyfriend lose $400, too. But then again it was his fault for pressuring me to book before I got my exam schedule!!!!

[gladiator]

My guess is that they take cheating and anonymous grading very seriously which makes it impossible to have alternate date exams. Because if you take the same test on a different day then you could cheat (either giving the questions to later test takers or get the questions from earlier test takers) and if you take a different test on a different day then the professor will know it's your exam when (s)he grades it. Beyond that they just don't feel like being hit with so many requests since it's a slippery slope once you start accepting certain excuses that aren't life and death.

[CaptainDirtyBird]

That slightly irks me. If you going to a school with such a strict honor code (plagerism = expulsion) I feel that would allow us to have a great deal more leeway.

The honor code is supposed to apply to everything you do as a student yet most (undergrad, not sure about law) professors require to sign an honor pledge on every paper and exam anyway so go figure.

[greygoose]

just to make sure: in regards to tuition payment/statement, we check for the bill on 7/18 via the ISIS/quikuva thing?

Exactly. I feel like UVA and I have a lack of trust in our relationship. Shouldn't we not have to obsess about when and where each of us is at all times? Why isn't love enough?
