Yesterday I Was Supposed To Meet With My Case Manager, Since We’ve Never Met. I Had The Address And

Hi everyone,

I found a cute comic from Twitter about Autism and I thought I would share it here.

The tweet will be here in case anyone wants to view it.

This week is in the bag, or whatever that saying is. I finished my forensics paper this morning and already received my grade (100%), and just received my grade for my graphs (100%).

I’ve got 3 weeks left of business communications and 4 weeks left of forensics. Then I’m officially done with my AA! So close…

This week is a little crazy study-wise:

Forensic science - ✅ 1 chapter to read, 2-3 page paper on 1 hr video (✅ watched the video), ✅ midterm

Business communications - create 3 graphs from data sets found last week, read 1 chapter

Gender & society - ✅ read 1 chapter, two part final, posttest

Add to the fact that I’ve been driving my wife to her appts, plus getting an epidural in my neck this week. It’s a bit crazy. But I’m chugging along!

I’m so close to being done with my associates degree. I even registered for graduation two days ago!

What about when your health is a shit ton of lemons, and you have to deal with those lemons plus the life lemons? I’m so tired of making lemonade. I just want to throw those fuckers.

We call this “catatonic” in our household

this is gonna sound like a shitpost but the best advice i have if youre consistently coming off wrong is to start talking like an elcor

you will feel like a dumdum at first, but once you get used to it youll realize that telling people what kind of thing you're about to say ahead of time flattens their anxiety a huge amount

ive been starting every question with "question:" for awhile now and i almost never get people reading too much into what i mean anymore

it seems super dumb, but "what are your plans tomorrow?" gets people asking me what i have planned despite me obviously being in the process of figuring that out, whereas "question: what are your plans tomorrow?" gets me a quick rundown of their schedule, followed by "why?"

it also makes it really easy to work tone indicators into your verbal speech. if you're always saying "question: [your question here]?" then no one blinks when you say "genuine question: [question that could read as sarcastic]?"

it also gets you out of your own way for any types of things you struggle to say. "can you make sure to do the dishes before you go to bed?" feels like an argument waiting to happen, but "request: can you make sure to do the dishes before you go to bed?" gets the words flowing on a neutral word while making it clear that you're not looking for a fight

so yeah. suggestion: talk like an elcor

Today’s studyblr is brought to you by DNA. I’m working on my forensic science class today and it’s fascinating. I really do love this class.
