| I would put your own feelings aside and consider the fact that this person is in a position of authority/power in the academic setting, and that makes it totally innappropriate and unprofessional for an instructor to show interest in a student. I agree with BlueMax, wait. I don't like to make assump... |

| I can totally relate to the need for solitude. As an undergrad in residence I had private rooms and that was cool, but now I am a grad student living with my g/f of 13 years. My need for solitude was a contentious issue for years; she would be offended by me not spending time in the same room and st... |

| I'm still learning about AS and was wondering if anyone else ever get this sudden feeling that you're missing something, that there was something you were supposed to do and you forgot and your going to get in trouble or people will be dissapointed in you (big fear for me). When this happens to me,... |

| I am not sure how anyone can find the coworker/employee's comments relayed by the OP to be anything but offensive. If the woman needed time, she could have been less graphic about it, and when she was made aware that she was bothering him she purposefully went the other way and that is harassment; s... |

| Wow, I can totally relate to thread. I did my undergrad in 5 years, which was normal for Mechanical Engineering at my school; studying a week before exams, never earlier. Then I did my masters, with thesis, in 8 terms, but should have only needed 5. Now I am dropping out of my PhD after 9 terms. I w... |

For me, it feels like I have a sphere of information in my head, but I have ... |

I had some scarry days when I was in high school, I hate to even think about some of the worst meltdowns. Most of my worst were caused by my parents who were aweful to me for being ... |

We've been together for 12 1/2 years, that wouldn't change anything for me. Governments, for all legal and practi... |
