The exams so far are going reasonably well. Only Latin went really bad. I filed a complaint to LAKS about the very vague questions in the first part of the exam – many questions could be interpreted in multiple ways. Yet my translation assignment went yet worse, but that was solely my sake, since I [...]

Final Exam
Posted in High School, Personal on May 23, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
I had French today and it went quite well. I checked with the correction paper and I have at least a 5.7, but the norms are not at all clear yet so it may be much better. So it’s most likely that I’m going to have a seven on my final marks list, since I’ll [...]
Exams Are Coming Close

So, the exams will start tomorrow. I’m sooo nervous!!! My first exam will be French – could it be worse? That’s my worst subject, and for my last practice I had a 4.3. I have to have a 4.0 to keep a sufficient grade average, and I sooo definitely hope that I’m going to get [...]
The Discussion with Jan
Posted in High School, Personal, Rehab on May 18, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
I had the discussion with Jan. Mum and Dad both attended. The greatest part of the discussion was about exams, of course. They seem to lay-out those exams really great! Only the format is really old-fashioned, but that seems to be cause they have to be fit for printing in braille. As if anyone would [...]
About the Exams and the Upcoming Discussion with Jan
Posted in High School, Personal on May 18, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
Man, going to have a discussion with Jan this coming afternoon at 2:00 PM. I don’t know what to think about it. Most stuff will be about exams, so that won’t generate any difficulty. However, I’m sure that we’ll also get to talk about this autumn. I still haven’t told Mr. De B. or any [...]
Comments on Personality Type Quiz
Posted in Memes, Psychology on May 11, 2005 | 1 Comment »
I came across one of those personality type quizzes. I tend not to take these sorts of quizzes seriously and mostly laugh at the results. However, just cause you shouldn’t take these things seriously, doesn’t mean you can’t comment on them. Comments in brackts are mine.

Thoughts on a Theory of Multiple Selves
Posted in Multiplicity, Philosophy, Psychology on May 5, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
I found this article. It’s quite cool. It makes clear how all of us “wear different hats” as we encounter different situations. Everyone has several different roles and, if you liked, you could see them all as different Selves, as the writers of this article are doing. I learnt about the structurialist protrayal of mankind [...]
Peter Singer on Animal Rights
Posted in Philosophy on May 4, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
I was just reading the article All Animals Are Equal by Peter Singer. In this article, the Australian-born philosopher and professor at Princeton argues for equality between humans and nonhuman animals. He argues that the capacity to suffer and enjoy should be the only requirement for consideration of one’s interests (which is what counts in [...]
Commentary on Abuse of Autistics, ABA Programmes, and Behaviourism
Posted in Autism, Disability Advocacy on May 4, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
Last night, I came across this letter. It is yet another touching example of how children with disabilities are being abused in the name of treatment. I have been reading the writings on Autistics.org for a long while, even though I’m not personally part of the Autistic community anymore. I’m still a person with [...]
Thoughts on Taking Responsibility and My Own Situation
Posted in Multiplicity on May 2, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
Now that I just criticized all those soulbonders that do not take responsibility for their soulbonds (“fangirls”, they’re called), I have to make clear that I’m not the greatest at handling my situation either. There is no word that I think accurately describes my situation, but that doesn’t make it any less real, and it [...]
