Hi @iamthatmathjerk welcome to Hive. I'm @palomap3 from Lovesniper OCD team.

You made me laugh when you described yourself as a bit of a nerd. I would dare to say that most of us here are, so you'll feel right at home, hehe. I know how hard it is to work and study at the same time, which speaks volumes about your character. But working outside your country is undoubtedly much more difficult, so I'm glad you're adapting little by little. You've arrived with the help of good mentors, so follow their recommendations and you'll do well. I recommend you explore these communities that you'll like: Worldmappin, The Anime Realm.

Tips and information as a Hive newbie here: newbie guide.

Communities you might like that are part of the OCD Communities Incubation Program. Important: read their rules and post in the one that fits your content.

Have a good day!
