:laugh: :dead: You can google degrees?

Thats what they asked!
Well there are a lot of first class degree holders out there who will post scans of their degrees online to show off, so i told them to have a look at that and be happy. It's a piece of paper, and its not like I enjoyed my 4 years in university so much that I want to share it with everyone.

LOL I feel the same exact way. I dont plan on going to my graduation... if I ever get there

Neither did I. I just collected it from the office.

I sat down at the table, wished them luck, then walked outside taking a box of Arnott's shapes with me. I sat on the ground alone and listened to music.

I always hated presentations. Once we had to sit in a group and give a short speech about what we did for work experience and I refused to do it. But I didn't lose any marks because it was like a 'back-up' test for one I had already got an A* in.

Also once I had 3 mock exams in one day. For the last one, I went to see the examiners beforehand, asking if I could do it in a private room hoping I could do it alone with just an examiner because I "didn't feel very well". They then put me in a separate room but with all the naughty kids that have to do it separated from everybody else. That was a fail of a plan.

I talked to my psych and got her to write me a letter so i can go on the disability program (not that i view myself as disabled). One of the things im going to ask, when on the program is for separate exams.

I have to do some group thing with in the next few weeks and a presentation for another class. They try to make us 'mingle' because that's how we are supposed to act in the work force... Blaa.

Im sure as hell not going to my graduation.

Probably when i was at the cusp of ending my 8 year relationship with my wife on a whim in order to move 4000 miles away by myself to Alaska.

Then when i realized I actually felt something for her, and abruptly cancelled my plans.

Topping it off with laughing and smiling uncontrollably while she was crying when i didn't understand why she was upset.

I've unknowingly put her through a lot, I'm really lucky she's stayed.

I have a lot of these things come up for me.

I was fired from one of my jobs for being "too introverted and quiet." I never realized that being bffs with my rude coworkers was necessary, or conducive to my job. I was pleasant enough with customers, I did my job fine. They said I "didn't fit."

At my current job the manager comments about how I never get angry at anything, I have the patience of a saint and so on. I guess I do have a lot of patience, and don't necessarily get angry, though I do get frustrated with people being stupid or inefficient in their work.

Unfortunately, society prefers extroverts. They just don't see that introverts are also important for the system to work properly.

So do I. In fact, I need that as a teacher.


Anyway, what I consider to be my epically schizoid moments are my disappearance acts.

Some years ago, I was at a pub with some of my classmates and got bored of their conversation. I went out to smoke a ciguerette when a guy approached me. We kissed... I guess I could bear that 'cause I was rather drunk at the moment but the strangest thing happened when I ran away all of a sudden, got on a bus and left without telling anyone.

On another occasion, I also disappeared from the dancing club my ex colleagues had taken me to taking advantage of the fact that I was drunk.

It seems that I can only stand crowded places and proximity when drunk but still I usually make my exit quite too soon.

I've noticed that at uni, people say 'you don't talk much do you' and then go about there lives, where as at school they ask why am I so quiet and stick in my face and try to make me talk to people

Having a cousin(female 9 years older than me who I lost my virginity to when I was 15) naming me as "pallbearer" to spread her ashes, but then she addmited that she didn't expect me to do anything at all. She was schizoid or avoidant and was similar to me. She had no doubt I wouldn't show up and it would not be surprised.
