So, in a few hours I’ll leave for Rome! At 1:30 AM I’ll have to be at school. We’ll drive by bus to Münster and take a plane then. I’m really excited!!! Rome, here I come!!!!
I’ve already packed my bags. Had to buy socks, batteries for my daisy-player (yes, I’m taking it with me as [...]

A Very Good Day
Posted in High School, Personal on April 22, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
Today till now (fifth hour) each hour there occurred something that was less frustrating than I’d expected.
1st hour: Economics
We got our tests handed back. I’d expected an insufficient grade, cause I’d only studied a very little bit. However, I got a 6.8!!!! Mr. Te B. said I had the first questions correct but the [...]
Disability-Related Adaptations
Posted in Blindness on April 17, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
Weird enough, the first adaptations I can remember getting weren’t for
blindness, but for physical issues (don’t even know whether to call it a
disability, it’s so mild), which were adaptations to the furniture in class
(mainly due to my small size), adapted scissors and later an adapted braille
writer cause I was/am a little bit weak.
However, my blind-related [...]
Dentist and New Computer

Yesterday Sigrid and I went to the dentist. Sigrid went first and her exam was finished quickly – nothing was wrong. I however had two small cavities. We hadn’t gone to the dentist for ages, but he said we both should come back for a new check-up in October. Actually, everyone has to come twice [...]
Updates on French and Classical Culture

This morning at 10:45 I’d actually have an appt. with my tutor to prepare a talk we’re going to have with Sietske, Charlotte and Ditha (these are other 11th-graders) on socialising issues. However, I came there at 10:45 and Mr. De B. was talking to my Dad, so I assumed he was busy with something [...]
Today’s Finals

Today my first test started already at 8:00 AM. Whoah, yesterday I was still asleep by then. The test was history and we had 90 minutes for it. It was for the most part about the Dutch Indies (now Indonesia), which was sooooo boring (!!!). I knew almost nothing but just talked some bull and [...]
Bad Night’s Sleep and Finals Week
Posted in High School, Personal on April 13, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
Whoa, I’ve rarely ever had such a bad night’s sleep. I’ve always been a bad sleeper, but still. Mum always assumes I have some blind folks’ sleep disorder in which one’s sleep pattern is disturbed because of lack of light perception (Mum, I do see light, and no, one can’t see “too little” light). As [...]
On My Suspecting Asperger’s
Posted in Autism, Personal on April 11, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
In the Saturday newspaper appeared an article about hypersensitive people and mainly about “fashion disorders”, ie. how often people like to label themselves or their children with disorders like ADHD, PDD-NOS and dyslexia. We (my parents, sister and I) were joking about labelling and disorders, but meanwhile of course I was feeling weird: I’m our [...]
Hairdresser

Today I went to the hairdresser. My hair is quite a bit shorter now than it was before. It now hangs right on my shoulders. I think it’s more beautiful than it was before. But I can still twirl it. “Don’t play the harp,” my parents say since last Monday everytime I twirl [...]
French Class Is Over
Posted in High School, Personal on April 6, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
My last French class of this period’s over. Didn’t have my work finished. Van O. didn’t say a thing to me and I think she’ll just not care and give me no grade on my next test – as she warned us she’d do. I don’t really care. Of course for morality’s sake I do [...]
