take care stranger.

Yup its like mini defense. OP likely messed up due to anxiety but usually anxious people finish it way earlier than expected-see what I did there?

This is a rare case.

As long as you didn’t have the 💦 after it, you’re good.

This honestly does not sound half as dramatic as the op makes it

You are also in high school, so I’d say you were also a victim in some ways. I am in no ways trying to demean you, but generally people aren’t done growing up mentally or emotionally until their late twenties, if even that. Regardless of how things went down, you probably weren’t mature enough to be of fully sound judgement on what you did. I cringe now at some of the things I did in high school and college when I thought I was such an adult. Yes you messed up and learned consequences, but the bigger villain here is the ex - even if you had come onto him, he should’ve been the one to walk away. Also in your telling it sounds like you slept with the XF because you thought they had broken up, when they hadn’t. If this is the case he also lied to you in a big way.

I’m glad you have the chance to mend your relationship with your aunt. And I’m glad you told her and she is rid of that piece of trash. Hopefully the rest of the family will calm down about things too soon.

Don't beat yourself up over it. Life is hard and weird things happen! That's just the price of admission

Wait, because I have a three year old, I know that you messed up the 3F annotation here. you mean that you have three female children, not that your three year old female child scolded you for using a penis emoji.

No... saying "BSF" a bunch of times, without even once explaining it, is just dumb.

All you had to do was explain it at ANY time.

Yup, she was a dumb kid; he is a predator.

Is candidacy like the dissertation defense, except earlier in the process, before you’re done?

My anxiety has made me to similar things at just the wrong time. I’m glad it still kinda worked out for you.

Ummm.... I'm so glad I never use that emoji because I truly thought it was simply an eggplant as well.

That wasn't exactly how he saw it. It was my fault. I went after him the day after they broke up

My dad gets angry easily and overreacts but he cools down

I'm pretty sure this is a reference to That Seventies Show. The father of one of the main characters, Eric, is a rough, short-tempered, stern man. At the same time, he still loves his family and can be very sweet. Tough but fair comes to mind.

i doesnt said its not wierd but its definitly not grooming , and nobody gives a fuck if you would or wouldnt touch a 18 years old with a 10 foot pole

32

> a very Red Foreman attitude

A what?

Huh. Well, glad it was successful. Remember that the committee/jury generally want you to be successful so don't stress about it too much. We (as a committee member on a few of them) are checking that you are making progress and seem to know what you're doing. In the past we've ended up giving homework to students who couldn't answer certain things but we're not going to fail them for that sort of mistake.

So... Don't stress too much about it. It's important but not enough for you to be anxious. :) Easier said than done, of course.

>We'd have cut you off, tbqh

Wish someone had done that.

>Were you getting questions as you went along

Nopes but after the presentation, the Q&A went for around 35-40minutes too, that went well though.

If they really wanted you to stop they would have asked you to hurry it more.

I think that was me being stupid

may i ask how old your aunt is?

Going on for longer than you were supposed to and keeping them engaged enough to not cut you short probably reassured them of your competency. Take the win.

I, too, have a newish fancy schmancy car! My husband sent it out for detailing, the extra schmancy kind where they do the interior down to the nitty gritty details. I was at work, getting a notification every 5 sec that the car was unlocked...so I was locking it. Causing the detailers to unlock it just a mere few seconds later...and then I'd get another notification... (This went on a good 4 or 5 times before I remembered it was being detailed and that mean that people needed to be in the car...)
