Last Monday, we had a party at my German teacher’s cause she’s resigning as a teacher at our school. In advance, I E-mailed the rest of the class cause
I thought it might be a good idea to carpool or if someone went by train if we could travel together. My Dad wanted to drive [...]

Yes, I turned 18 today. My B-day was cool. I got a CD called “American Roots; Original Roots; Legends from the USA” with all sorts of American songs like gospel, blue grass, jazz etc. from Sigrid. I also got the audio book of “Ulysses” and a CD with the 1963 BBC radio version of “Under [...]
Memories from Ninth Grade
Posted in High School, Personal on June 25, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
Was just re-reading some entries I wrote in my offline, Dutch diary back in 2002: the last finals week in 9th grade. I was reading about all those worries I had at the time because I might have to repeat 9th. It all seems so weird to me. I can’t imagine having a four as [...]
Project on British Idealism

I suddenly realise how stupid it is that I passed this year! Now I’ll have to work my entire summer holiday. That f*cking final project on British Idealism, you know? September 1st will be discussion of the “research phase”. Well, it won’t be cause P. doesn’t do a f*ck of it except when I remind [...]
School’s Over: Good Grades

Today I got my grades from this finals week that started last Wednesday (but we had two tests on Monday, too) and ended yesterday. They are all fairly good.
Dutch: that one was yesterday and it was a close reading test. It sucked pretty much and normally my experiences with close reading tests aren’t too good, [...]
Thought Provokers: Abilities and Expectations of Blind People
Posted in Blindness on June 20, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
Read over my response to Robert Leslie Newman’s Thought Provoker entitled The Road Best Taken. In the Provoker, two blind people are conversing about the jobs they want to have: one wants to work in the blindness field and the other wants to have a “normal” job. They both give arguments of why they choose [...]
Confused… Ramblings

I don’t know what I shall write… too many questions keep spinning through my mind and it’s all sooo complicated… I wrote on the BlindKid listserv about the articles in Future Reflections I’d read… Some of the responses are more confusing than I felt before… Of course, the post I wrote was more personal than [...]
Paged Through Future Reflections Again
Posted in Blindness, Personal on June 18, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
I just read this article in the winter 1998 issue of Future Reflections. The entire issue focuses on children with multiple disabilities – didn’t know that when I read this article yet. Some of the statements made in the article, and in others across the issue, are just sooo depressing! Unfortunately, the person who once [...]
Quarrel with Sigrid

Today I had a quarrel with Sigrid. We were going to the petrol station, cause we both wanted candy (shops, of course, are closed on Sundays). Then when we’d bought the sweets we went on our way home and I fell, it hurt and there was a hole in my trousers. So I was somewhat [...]
Philosophy Weekend

Wow, I haven’t even written about philo weekend yet! I’ve been sooo busy lately. Am still, but right now it’s night so I’m not busy at the moment, haha. Nights are good for doing things one likes (but when does one sleep, then?).
Anyway, philosophy weekend was soooooo cool!!!!!!!! We arrived Saturday June 5th at around [...]
