#cyberstudious

[absentsun]

It’s officially been a year since this blog was first *established*, holy cow! I’ve met so many amazing people since then (a lot of which helped me figure out what the heck I wanted to do with my academic career) and I am ridiculously grateful. In a year, I’ve managed to (mysteriously/somehow/idk how) gain 1700+ followers, all of whom I am also extremely grateful for. 

SO! In order to celebrate with you, I would like to do blog rates and a Q&A.

Q&A:

For my Q&A you can ask me anything. I feel a bit guilty since theses days, my blog mostly runs on queue (I’m dying trying to earn this 4.0) so for the next few days, please ask me questions! Get to know me a little! You can ask anything, personal, academic, whatever. Ask me why I love yoongi so much, or about Chinese, Korean and Arabic! Ask me about linguistics!  Last time I did this people were only interested in the blog rates, but we’ll see how this goes.

Relistening to 8th Doctor Audios: Sword of Orion

If you want the listen along, I’ve made a playlist over on spotify.

Part One:

Oh, poor Ramsey, he sounds sick 😟

Vortisaurs are allergic to normal spacetime? Interesting

Wait, what’s wrong with Ramsey?!

Garazone? Where have I heard that before? [and it’s not because I’ve listened to it before, it was familiar the first time too]

ATMOS SUITS??!

oh atmospheric, duh

Well that was needlessly ominous.

Weird that the ship is so untouched

What’s in there?

Nice job, Charley! Did she punch him in the throat? It sounded like it.

Even on the third time, the Doctor still surprised me

Garazone really is familiar

This new captain certainly is very keen, isn’t she?

Oh, they’re just... so happy.

I spoke too soon. 

“Oh no” -- “Oh dear” [understatement of the century]

ah the classic “i’ve got a bad feeling about this”

{Sidenote, but I really want to do a post about character archetypes in DW audios.}

What is it with the human inclination to sweep garbage “under the rug” so to speak.

Ah, they’re safely back in the Tardis.

[Wouldn’t he recognize a cyberman ship, tho?]

“There’s something... cold about it” Oh Charley, you have wonderful intuition

Oh that sounds bad.

“You mean, one day they decided to leave, with all their carpets and cushions?”

Return of the Creepy Sounds

[I wondered why they left their helmets off if the air stank so bad, but then it occurred to me that if they’d left their helmets on, they’d just use up their oxygen supply.]

What? WHAT IS IT?

“Scanning for money. Scanning for money, scanning for money-”

Oh he’s gonna die isn’t he

“Oh my god!” -- “What is it?!" -- “A Blue box. I found a blue box.”

Oh yea he dead

Part Two

Yes, Doctor, run toward the screaming

Androids?!

As soon as she said that there weren’t an androids outside Orion with such certainty, I knew something was up with her.

“the handle doubles as a torch” - I have never heard such bullroar in my life. The Doctor has never been so practical

“One of us could go poking around the infrastructure with a big stick and a torch” - I think the Doctor would willingly volunteer for that job

MUTINY

You know, the first time I listened to this, I hadn’t paid nearly enough attention to the cover art, so I was completely surprised at the presence of the Cyberman

Interesting history this captain has

[I had also forgotten about the cybermats.]

“deathray” lol

I’m having such a hard time trying to figure out if it’s Ike or Vol talking, they sound the same.

Part 3

“I don’t know what I’m looking for|x.” Oh there it is

Okay, Vol is the nice one.

He’s going to die too, isn’t he

What’s beeping? Why’s it beeping?

Wait, they’re still on the ship? SO WHO’S IN THE AIRLOCK

“are you sure you didn’t major in cyberstudies?”

Oh no, they’re going to kill Chev|x. [idgaf about Grash]

oh god. the sound effects are so cool and freaky

NOT DEAD, IT’S NOT DEAD

a cybermat would make a cute pet though

Oh. Grash isn’t dead.

He sounds weird though.

Convenient that Deeva’s gun works so well on Cybermen...

Oh, Grash was a cyberpuppet. Not that different from being a tool, I suppose

I ship Eight/explaining mythos

She’s gonna spacegoogle him, isn’t she?

What else is Grash up to???

Charley had far too much confidence in the Doctor

ooh, clever Doctor, weaponizing the airlock

And clever, clever Charley

And FAR too clever Cybermen

Part 4

They’re all going to die aren’t they?

oh yeah sword of orion was a code name

Historical intelligence?

Hey, what’s the point of the cybermen communicating verbally? Wouldn’t it be faster to transmit the information digitally?

Yeah, they’re all going to die

Oh, but not yet, apparently.

Oh she’s an android isn’t she

I’ve never heard the cybermen scared before. I don’t think

Is Charley gonna...

Oh thank god she’s fine.

 Trust.

The Stones of Venice next!

from for the dreams i want to catch http://bit.ly/2Q0xg8e via See More

cyberstudies: college app season is coming up! since i’ve had...

college app season is coming up! since i’ve had some experience with interviews, i thought i would throw together a post about college interviews to give all you seniors a hand and alleviate some stress

🌿 t h e   b a s i c s

many colleges offer interviews

can be required or optional

can be conducted at the school with a student/admissions rep, or near your home with an alumni

a word of advice: if an interview is optional and you are contacted to have an interview, TAKE THE INTERVIEW–it can only help

types of interviews

individual

most common type (95% of the time it will be this one)

one-on-one with a school representative

informational

short

more of a Q&A about the school

not personal; can have multiple interviewees

most interviews run from 20-60 mins

however, leave ample time around your interview. all of my interviews went at least 20 mins over. but remember: length of the interview doesn’t mean anything

📑 i n i t i a l   s e t - u p

first of all, if you can’t secure an interview or are not offered one, DON’T FREAK OUT. that just means the school doesn’t have enough resources to give you an interview

it will NOT count against you or your application at all

for interviews conducted on-campus, you will have to sign up for a time slot to have an interview or email the admissions office to set one up

for alumni interviews, they will contact you

via email or phone

respond within 24 hours if you can, and absolutely by 48 hours

respond using “Dear Mr./Ms. ______”, thank them for contacting you, tell them you look forward to the interview, schedule a time that works for both of you, and make sure you are clear on the interview location

you’ll get an email of confirmation back from them

then mark it in your calendar

💭 h o w   t o   p r e p

research your interviewer !!! seriously, this is important

make sure to know…

where they’re from

which schools they’ve gone to (undergrad & grad)

what they majored in

what profession they have now

anything of significance about their relationship with the school you are applying to. for example, during my Princeton interview, I brought up my interviewer’s senior thesis topic, and he said no one had brought that up to him in like 20+ years. we had a great 20 min conversation about that, plus it made me memorable

research the school

specifics! whether it be clubs, resources, traditions, classes, etc.

especially know classes, research, professors, and resources that relate to the major you intend to study

create a list of questions to ask

these should not be questions you can look up the answer to (shouldn’t be factually/statistically based)

run over your résumé or topics that could come up

research what previous interviewees have said about the format of the interview

use tumblr, college confidential, etc. BUT take everything said with a grain of salt

make sure to know the transportation route to your interview location

optional: create an elevator pitch

👔 w h a t   t o   w e a r

business casual is best

gals: a nice skirt and cardigan, dress with tights, nice jeans/slacks with a blouse, etc.

keep your hair out of your face!

stay away from noisy/clunky jewelry, or anything you might fidget with

guys: button-down shirt or polos with khakis or a nice pair of jeans, suit jacket and tie/bowtie, etc.

wear nice shoes (no sneakers) AND SOCKS

nonbinary/non-gender-conforming: do whatever you think is best for you! just remember to look professional and well put-together (although this rule applies to everyone)

weather

summer/spring: lighter clothes. most likely you will be interviewing indoors, so don’t forget to bring an extra layer if necessary

fall/winter: add outerwear like tights, stockings, sweaters, etc. check the weather and bring an umbrella, hats and gloves, or snow boots if necessary

general tips

better to be overdressed than underdressed

avoid logos, graphics, and anything noisy (and please don’t wear apparel from the school–it seems “sweaty”)

use accessories sparingly

wear something classic but comfortable, that enhances your personality but doesn’t override it

📓 w h a t   t o   b r i n g

notebook/looseleaf paper

pens/pencils

any notes you may need

a list of questions to ask the rep

résumé

phone/money/keys/bus card

***make sure you know the interviewer’s contact info and directions to the interview!

💬 d u r i n g   t h e   i n t e r v i e w

arrive 5-10 mins early to get comfortable with your surroundings

location will most likely be either a workplace (like a law/business office) or a casual setting (like a cafe)

the interviewer will meet you

make sure to shake their hand

if you are at a place like a cafe or coffee shop, you don’t need to offer to buy them anything !!! you can get yourself something if you want

they will most likely start with an open-ended question like “tell me a bit about yourself”

ELEVATOR PITCH FO DAYS

tell them your name, your school, some activities you do, etc.

try to tell them stuff that’s not on your application

ex: talk about upcoming internships/events/activities

from there a topic will latch on and they’ll start asking questions and transitioning

at the end, they will ask if you have any questions

DO

sit up straight, use manners and make eye contact

ask questions–even in the middle of the interview

consider the interview a conversation

listen to and learn from your interviewer

take notes

DON’T

interrupt your interviewer or get distracted

hold back/be modest

sound haughty

be quiet. speak. tell stories. talk!

make your answers generic

be nervous! it’s really, really hard to mess up an interview. everyone has nerves, but just remind yourself that this doesn’t really count for anything

�� a f t e r w a r d s

whew! you got through it. CONGRATS !!!

within 24 hours, write them a thank you email

thank them for taking the time to interview you

make sure to mention specifics about how they were helpful! it makes you memorable

you may or may not get an email back, but that doesn’t mean anything

breathe a sigh of relief. compile notes. rest.

💡 i m p o r t a n c e

how much does this actually matter?

not much

seriously, stop stressing

interviewers cannot make or break an application. having a superb interview will not boost your application by a huge amount, just like having a not-so-great interview will not doom you for all eternity

what the interview CAN do is…

help the interviewer advocate for you further

give you insight into the school

give you a chance to elaborate among things in your app

show the school you can conduct yourself gracefully in social/professional situations

give your application a boost if they are deciding between you and a similar candidate

and that’s all! i hope this post was helpful. please feel free to message me if you have any other questions or need more advice.

Cyberspace: Where Did the Term Come From and What Does It Mean?

[ad_1]

Rarely does a day go by that we don’t come across the preface “Cyber.” We hear it in conversation, on TV and radio. We see it in print. Regardless of the source, we mostly tend to think of the term as having some relation to computers and the Internet.

Cyberspace is recognized in my Word spell-checker, but cyberstudy is not. And to further cloud the issue, cyber is often used a single…
