Hi Wilco, and welcome back =]

We all have cards dealt to us that we have to understand and adapt for our lives.  Some are better than others, some worse.  What matters is how well you understand yourself and accept it.  Once you accept who you are, you can adapt the situations surrounding yourself to better suit yourself.  I have a friend with Asperger’s, so I understand there are some social cues he misses, which may be a similar situation with you.  It’s okay to ask for clarification; it’s the person who’s answering’s fault for giving you any hard times.

Don’t worry about keeping up with the exercises.  It sounds like you’re busy, so take them at your own pace.  I’m still working on that darn Challenger model from the Vehicle class, so no pressure =]  It’s rewarding to be able to get it done in the short time frame, but if that doesn’t suit your style, then don’t sweat it.  It’ll still be there when you want to do it.

Measuring your skill level is a difficult thing to quantify at first, but maybe with more examples of different levels could help you understand where your skills lie.  I wouldn’t call you a complete beginner, but maybe transitioning into an intermediate skill level.  So, semi-intermediate?  Keep practicing every day and your skills will sharpen up in no time.  I’ve found practicing every day has a better consistency on my overall improvement than spurts every few weeks.  You got this.

I look forward to your work!
