What I should have said is that I am fascinated with science. That’s what I meant by being a “geek”. There are science classes I have not taken so I have a lot to learn,especially about physics and astronomy.

I am not stupid but school has been a struggle for me.

There’s no reason to attack me.

I'm also fascinated with rocket science. Of the different types of orbit the most interesting to me is geosynchronous; the satellite is in orbit around the equator at the same speed as the planet is spinning around its axis so from the surface it appears as if it's motionless in the sky. It happens when the object is about 22,300 miles from earth.

This is the basis for satellite TV which is my field of occupation.

You need to know that when most people use a word, that word has a fairly precise meaning. ‘Geek’ is understood by 99.99999999% of people to mean ‘I am really into this stuff and know a hell of a lot about X’ — so if someone says ‘I am a Music Geek, and someone tell me how to read music’ he will rightly be laughed at. With any luck you have been disabused of your definition of ‘geek’ and will use it properly from here on.
