My lack of privacy & see you in two months

First, I must say that the fact of this forum being of public access freaks me out. I think that some forums (like this one or the pictures one) should be in some "members only" area. Anyway, I still feel that despite that I have to say what I'm gonna say, so here it is: :rolleyes:

Let's start with the "see you in two months" thing. In the case that anyone cares, I announce that I'll be here very rarely or not at all for the next two months. The reason? I've just entered on vacations from college, and they end in August.

And there's when my lack of privacy kicks in. You'll see, I live at home with my parents and my brother. As I live just at 20 min on bus from college, I live all the year at home. So vacations affects me in two ways. Most of the times I wanted to enter this forum, I'll just go to the university's computer rooms, or if I was at home, I'll just stay awake late with the excuse of doing some assignment and the see the forum when everyone else is sleeping. So as I'm not studying for the next two months, I pretty much runned out of ocations to visit the forum.

You'll wonder why's this. Well, the thing is that we live in a small house; I only don't have my own bedroom, I don't have a bedroom at all. The house where I live (which is rented BTW), only has two rooms, the bathroom, the kitchen, a small backyard, and that's it. So when you enter you see the main room, which is the living room, the dinner room, the study and me and my brother's bedroom, all at the same time. Next to it, and not even separated by a door (there's a threshold, but no door), my parent's bedroom. But my family doesn't know about my SA (I don't think I'll tell them as long as I'm living with them). With my mom and dad (both retired, spend almost all the time at home) there's not much of a big deal becuse they don't know english, or how to manage a computer, altough sometimes my dad just says behind me watching what I'm doing at the computer, and as you can imagine that could be pretty annoying; but I think that if I ask him for some privacy then he'll think I just wanna watch porn or something like that.

The real problem is with my brother. He's three years older than me and he's a graphic desinger, but he works from home, so he also stays here almost all the day long, using the computer (for example, I'm writing this today only because he had to go to some work reunion). And he knows english and of course can manage computer, but he's one of the last persons I will discuss my SA with.

There's the thing. I won't have many chances if any to visit the forum for a couple months. And that sucks big time, becuase here's the only place when I'm getting any support.

See you around.

I understand you, everytime someone knocks at my door I minimize this window so fast that someday I'll break the mouse :D

One question: how can you use your university's computer rooms without anyone around?? I thougth of entering this site from university a couple of times I really needed it, but it was impossible without being observed.

Well, enjoy your vacations! :)

You dont use this in the university!! I usually think to be here in the library but not..it is not a good idea.
 
Thank you all, I aslo hope that things go well for you too.

I don't see what's the problem with visiting the forum from university. There are divitions between computers so people next to you don't see your screen. Aslo, most people from my career (who are the only ones I know) don't visit the computer rooms, and most important, something that is an advantege in this case (but certainly not for my country), is that most students have a really poor level of english, so I really don't worry too much if they see me viewing the forums.
