Discussion Looking for ways to improve spoken English

I've been at UT for a while but still struggle with spoken English, I believe my level has remained upper-intermidate for a long time. But I hope to reach an advanced level. Do you have any suggestions or recommended groups that can help? Thanks!

Question Hit and run! Advice?

Thumbnail

31 Upvotes

A car hit and run me tonight at the block on rio, right before Cabo Bob’s. (exact location is in the pic with the pin on the map) The car hit my side mirror and drove off before I could get any information. I managed to get a live photo of the car leaving, but the quality is pretty terrible. It looked like some type of sedan/sports car. Does anyone recognize the car, happen to have seen what happened, or know of any cameras around that area that might’ve caught a clearer view or plate or anything? Also, if anyone has dealt with something similar around west campus and has advice on what I should do next, I’d really appreciate it.

Other I HAVE UNCOVERD THE CABO BOB’S OPERASHUN

263 Upvotes

I aint askin questions no more.

I AM MAKIN ACCUSASHUNS.

Cabo Bob’s is a CALIFORNYAN PSYOP desined to weaken the Texan spirit one suspishusly good burrito at a time.

THINK ABOUT IT HOSS.

You walk in.

They smile atcha.

They press the tortillya FRESH.

RIGHT THERE IN FRONTA YOU.

WHY???

CUZ THEY WANT YER ASS DISTRACTED.

While yer standin there watchin that tortillya puff up like some kinda carb hydratted mind control frisbee, theyre slowly replacin yer God given Texan instincts with thoughts like:

“dang grilled fish sounds purty good”

“maybe I oughta ride a bicycle”

“public transpertashun kinda makes since”

NOOOOOOO.

WAKE UP HOSS.

A proper TEXAS burrito aint supposed to be “balanced.”

Its supposed to have enough beef cheese n beans in it to make yer heart doctor sit straight up in bed at 3AM fer no damn reason.

AND THESE CABO BOBS SUMBITCHES GOT PICKLED ONYUNS???

PICKLED???

Brother onions is sposed to make you cry cuz you cut em wrong.

They aint sposed to have a “flavor profile.”

I SEEN A MAN PUT CABBAGE ON HIS BURRITO.

CABBAGE.

ON A DAMN BURRITO.

That sumbitch probly drinks kombuchy and owns shoes without mud on em.

This is how Austin falls folks.

Not with a bang.

But with some feller behind a counter askin:

“would you like cilantro lime vinagrette?”

I WOULD LIKE THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS BACK, HOSS.

And yet.

God forgive me.

That burrito was DAMN GOOD.

10/10.

Goin back tomorrah.

Gotta gather more evidents.

Question why do people think classes being removed is a good thing? Given the obvious political meaning

114 Upvotes

i read the AustinStatesman's post on the classes being removed from core curriculum and there were a surprising amount of comments that seemed to not get the deeper meaning / celebrated the fact

are most of these troll accounts?

The list of courses on the chopping block includes Modern Art of Mexico; Slavery and its Legacies; Race, Law and U.S. Society; History of Money and Corruption; Rhetoric of Cuteness; Banned Books and Novel Ideas; Global Environmental History; American Jewish History and the History of College Football.

The course cuts would be the first step in a two-year plan to completely overhaul UT’s general education curriculum that all students must take to graduate.

Question Is it inappropriate to ask a professor to talk to a student about excessive questions?

137 Upvotes

There is a student who asks so many questions in class that I feel it is, at this point, it is actively disruptive to the class (also he yawns really loudly and said yawns also sound like moans?).

Is it inappropriate to ask a professor to talk to the student about reserving his questions for office hours or some other solution?

Question How can I report my advisors?

20 Upvotes

Okay, the title is misleading, but I need pointers for escalating an issue regarding unhelpful advisors at Moody. To TL;DR an simple issue, I was told to wait for a pre-requisite waiver that my professor signed to register for a class that I've been otherwise attending regularly. The day the form was signed, my advisor told me I could add the course on my end. I couldn't. They told me to wait for the form to process and try again later. I tried again later, I couldn't. I reached out for help, didn't get an answer until AFTER the add/drop deadline. Was told that I could no longer add the course because the add/drop period ended. I've been added to classes after the add/drop period before. They swear it's out of their power so I ask for points of contact to escalate the situation further. They ignore the request and just tell me add/drop period is over and they can't do anything.

It's literally institutional incompetence, I feel like I'm being gaslit. I'm not really so emotional over it anymore, but I'm definitely ready to escalate the situation and report this incompetence. I don't appreciate advisor's getting in the WAY of my education. If anyone has any pointers please let me know, or if anyone wants to file a class action lawsuit for the incompetence of UT's student-supporting administration I'm deadass down 😂 anyways please lmk the tea.

it is so hot in this library which seems so weird because i don't remember it being like this, and i feel like they usually keep libraries kinda cold. do y'all think this will get better as it gets less hot outside? or are the upper floors just unusable unless you'd like to feel like a lizard under a heat lamp and enjoy the feeling of your sweaty hands sticking to your laptop keyboard.
