I've been out of school for years now and I'm taking classes to become a home inspector. I was given a couple of binders as books and I have to read through them. Since I don't have a background in construction, I have to be thorough.

So does anyone have any studying tips?

Currently, after work I review the highlighted parts I've already read and then read a new chapter each day. I feel like I could improve though.

Welcome! Hope you have fun here!

Nothing better than a practical gift. tfw you have a rice cooker as the only thing on your wishlist

I think I'm going to get basic stuff for my friends this year. Socks, mugs, ect. Being an adult really makes you appreciate socks.

@Shadami: Oh no! At least you have enough time to get something together!

Welcome (officially)!

@Tsundererra: We're over 18. There's a lot more into it but she just now got a job after months and months of applying to places, which won't be able to cover rent unless she wanted to live in a really sketchy place.

It sucks and moving out of there will 100% improve her mental health but as of right now she can't.

@Priestess of Pie: I honestly don't think he'll change. He's a pretty toxic person who has done and said worse. Right now my girlfriend is trying to move out but it's hard to find a job that pays enough.

@vengeance: These are hilarious. Thank you.

vent/discussion feel free to throw in your two cents
It took me a long time and a shit ton of bullying for me to figure out who I am. I am bisexual, genderfluid, and proud of it. I'm lucky enough to have a mom that supports me (even though she has pushed me toward men that I don't like). However, I am fully aware that not everyone can come out and be themselves. One of those people is my girlfriend.

I don't really speak to her family, I'm kind of awkward and shy about that whole thing. But I hear enough about her dad that I know I never want to be home when he is.

When she was young and questioning she mentioned to her dad and uncle that she likes girls. They stopped the car somewhere and turned around to hammer in the idea in her head that being gay is wrong and a sin. She spent a lot of time suffering and hating herself because of that.

When we started dating, sometimes she would come home and he would say that she smelled "like sin", even if all we did that day was sit around. He also told her that if she ever adopted a kid, he wouldn't accept it as his own grandkid. He also keeps trying to convince her to break up with me, even going so far to say that she's being a burden on me.

The last straw was on Sunday I brought her home, he asked if I was still around because he wanted to talk about LGBT stuff. I was thinking, okay, I'm always down to teach someone to chill. But after a little prying my girlfriend found out he wanted to "fix" both of us, and that we're spending too much time together.

I'm pretty solid about my identity. The only thing wrong about being LGBT is the people who think they have any say about it. But I can't help but be constantly pissed about this.
