She's a loving idiot if she thinks that a) CS is an "iffy" degree or b) that ITT Tech is a school worth sending anyone to. Tell her to do her loving job and look at what fresh CS grads make right out the gate from any reputable school.

They need your medical poo poo to determine if the job/degree you want meshes with your disabilities. It's to make sure that you don't have someone with six herniated discs getting VA money to be a construction worker.

If you're on SSDI uh yeah you're going to lose that poo poo sooner or later, the requirements for that are insanely strict. The second you collect a real paycheck from a real job it'll get yanked, and you may or may not have to pay it back.

I understand that, I know the rules for SSDI. I wasn't going to this poo poo for a job today. My plan is

a.Go to school,

b. work through poo poo

c. get a job

and I know I'm not going to be on SSDI forever (no thank you, temporary at best for me) and if I lose it somewhere between A-C that's fine. I'm not even at A yet though. And they know the conditions of my loving discharge. Major Depressive Disorder. There is no reason they need to know anything beyond that, what sorts of medications and the so on.


edit: FFS I haven't even gotten the first check from SSDI. I'm really just trying to use it as a stop gap from hemorrhaging out my savings while I get on my feet. I am also had to cash out my TSP and I'm waiting on that :( Don't threaten my future money :(

Just applied for an internship where they wanted someone year round and I'd have to relocate for. It will probably get thrown out because I can work 40 hours a week over the summer, but probably only telework the rest of the year. Worth a shot at least.

gently caress, my MCAT is Saturday. I don't think I've ever been this nervous for an exam. I've gone hard for two years without a break and my practice exams have all come back in the high 80s to low 90s percentile-wise, so I should be ok, but still. It's 7 hours long, and covers Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, Psychology/Sociology & Critical Reading. To think, I used to think the bibliography for my advancement exams had a crazy amount of stuff in it. The Kaplan condensed review is broken into 5 books totaling over 1100 pages.

Just discovered the veterans lounge at my school. The drat thing is hidden away in a corner of the cafeteria, so it took me a couple weeks to find, but drat is it great. The couch I'm currently sitting on is one of those super comfy nap couches, there's coffee and snacks, and the other people in here are pretty chill and just working on schoolwork. Nobody cared when I came in and I'm sure nobody will care when I leave. This place is a little slice of paradise for me to relax in during my break between classes.

I just walk back to my apartment if i have a long break between classes.

The snacks aren't free but the walking keeps me skinny less loving fat.

Yeah, my college schedule was pretty much morning classes begining around 845 with 15 minutes between them M-Th.Then after my last class at 1pm I'd get lunch, then go to the library and do homework/study until 4pm, then go home and gently caress off until 11 and go to bed.

Why are you wasting time knocking out general degree requirements at a Community College? Big boy school will have more fun bullshit options like FILM and BUTT-STARING (yoga/meditation).

Community college is for remedial Math and English.

I went to school and dropped out before I enlisted. Big boy schools didn't want me because of my holy poo poo godawful GPA.

Same. I dropped out twice. I had zero credits and 5 or 6 F's on my record.

I'm glad I took hard classes (for me: all Math and Science requirements) at community college and saved the fun stuff for later.

EDIT: The urge to tell my project mates to gently caress themselves and go home and take a nap is really strong.

Queer is this ever evolving moving target that is a catch all for people who want to claim oppression by the main stream but isnt willing to suck enough dick/eat enough pussy/wear enough women's clothing to qualify for any of the other 4 initials.

The new ones might be special snowflake syndrome.. I don't really know. But I'd probably drop $50 in a Vegas casino on that being the translation.

The I is intersex and the A is asexual, which are both legit things... though I don't really understand why they belong in that acronym.

"+" I'm pretty sure is the umbrella under which all the special snowflakes from tumblr get lumped
