That sounds like a pretty good plan. Specialised computer skills of all kinds are incredibly valuable these days. I'm quite envious of people who have above average computer skills actually.
Update: Meeting is tomorrow morning and I am trying hard to distract myself from it. |

| Wow thanks for reading :). I wouldn't say that I'm strong so much as stubborn, I guess. The thought of NTs without the obstacles I'm facing doing better than me because of it is enough to get me angry to the point that I will push through just to spite NT dominated society, most of the time. I actua... |

| Sorry this is a very, very long rant and I just want to get it off my chest. I've had to leave some details of my courses vague. I've been doing graduate studies in a particular research group for 1 and a half years and I'm doing my second course. The first one went really well - my average was a lo... |

| I have a few that I've picked up over the years: * Have a set of stock responses to common questions and statements. For example: NT: Hi, how are you? Me: I'm great, thanks. How about you? NT: I'm so tired. Me: Me too, I guess it's that time of year, isn't it? *It's always a good idea to end with a ... |

| I currently live alone and it's a lot better than living with others. No expending energy to deal with others, no one steals my stuff and no one hogging my bathroom except me. The main problem that it can be too peaceful. It's hard to motivate myself to clean the place until it becomes necessary, bu... |

My NT mother is a morning person and she is exhausted after 8 hours. Research has shown tha... |

| I don't shave either area unless I plan to wear clothes which show that particular area or if I am bored. Instead of shaving cream I use a layer of moisturizer beforehand (and after I dry off if I remember). My outfits tend to involve pants and tee or long sleeved shirts so I can go weeks without sh... |

I'm doing a coursework/research course so some of these tips won't apply to everyone: - Be selective in choosing your supervisor, but be flexible with your re... |

I will hopefully be able to add some lab demonstrating to that next semester, if not I can do some private tutoring to supplement my government payments. Previously I spent my last year of high school and... |

| I got mine when I was about 12. I knew it was coming since I was 7 after reading a couple of my mother's nursing books. I skipped a year of school so I was a bit anxious about being behind my peers in any way. A lot of the girls I knew got theirs early, I was really impatient to get it and I was act... |

| Single, for about 13 months now. I have been in 4 relationships and I guess taking a break of more than 6 months between the last one and a future relationship could be a good thing. If any of my fwbs were not in a committed relationship I probably wouldn't be as worried about this as I currently am. |

| I am nocturnal, I tend to fall asleep anytime between 2am and 6am normally. If I have to, due to school, work or travel I can get into a routine of going to bed a bit earlier but I find it rather annoying going to bed when I feel wide awake. If I need to adjust my sleep cycle, I tend Valerian. It's ... |
