Why is it, People Are Such Money-Mongers?

Hey Everyone!

I hope everyone's been doing well, I apologize for not saying anything yesterday but Lauren came for the night and I just didn't really have much time to post. I had a lovely time with her though, dinner, Sex and the City 2, and a relaxing time at home. I believe the only time an autism-related thing happened was when I was apologizing frequently to Lauren because I thought I might offend her with something I Was saying, luckily as usual I had nothing to worry about.

As for the title of my post, it has to do with something interesting I discovered about the fair world, and by fair I mean carnivals; they're money-gougers. Now yes, we can get into talking about the games that you spend tons of money on to win stuffed animals, I'm talking just getting tickets to go on the rides. When we went to the fair yesterday, one ticket, ONE, cost $1.75. I'm sorry but with that price, and with the rides at this fair being 3-5 tickets for one 2-minute ride, it's just ridiculous. I'm not shoveling out $5.25-$8.75 to go on ONE ride especially when the rides aren't like Canada's Wonderland or Disney World or anything like that...we're talking silly rides like a kiddy roller-coaster and such.

That's frankly all I can say about that, what do you guys think?

Why? (It's just a question referring to the Chris time topic)

Hey Everyone!

So today, another dull day. It consisted basically of more studying, working with Chris, watching PS I Love You, and tutoring my neighbour again. Oh and trying to decide what video game to play because I for the life of me couldn't stick with one.

With Chris, the odd thing was I don't know if he had a good time, despite him saying that. Today he wound up asking me what time it was and when we would leave every five minutes, and at one point, within 40 seconds of asking. I really don't know if he doesn't compute time in his head, because it's just five minutes after asking it's like he doesn't even remember asking me. I don't know if this is autism, memory loss, or something else :S. Though with him, his big autistic thing is remembering obscure facts about movies and when movies are being released. As you know with autistic people (well, some may know, some may not) often are really good at knowing one thing, and it seems with movies, he knows a lot.

As for me, in case you can't tell for one thing, my big thing is video games, but more importantly I can call back things from over fifteen years ago out of the blue. So I have great memory...I just wish I could apply it to my tests :P. Oh and the only other good note is that I did really well for my music class. So now I'm just waiting on my marks for Clinical, Research, and Speech (though Speech will be amazingly high because of how well I did in most of my speeches) :).

Anyway, Night Everyone!

What is One Grain of Sand in the Desert? What is One Grain of Sand in a Storm?

Hey Everyone!

Sorry about missing yesterday, my fault, totally forgot about posting the entire day despite having talked to my grandfather about the blog. Go figure. Anyway, it was a relatively simple day actually. I studied a bit, read a bit, played some video games, and studied some more. I cannot WAIT for school to be over, though I haven't decided if I will or will not do the class as I wouldn't mind having a full summer :P.

Aside from the studying, and gaming and everything, I just tutored my neighbour again and he seems to be doing fairly well with everything. He isn't that bad at English like his mother thinks, he just needs to give himself time. That's basically everything there is to say. My only "autistic" thing is that I worry about possibly insulting his writing when I'm editing it for him. But I suppose that's just how it goes.

Night Everyone!

Oops...

Sorry I've been getting so behind in my blogs. With exams this week it's just been hard to keep up. I apologize greatly for doing this and I'll try to keep up again next week! (I will post this week, I'm just letting everyone know)

Wednesday was a relatively boring day. All that happened was me sleeping till 3PM, and then studied for quite a while since my exam is next Tuesday :(. I then just had fun playing Prince of Persia. I wish I could say my day was exciting, but it just wasn't. I think only thing that happened autism-wise was me being unable to know how to properly tutor the Grade 9 student next door in English as I didn't want to insult him or anything along those lines so I had to be wary of how to teach him.

That's all folks,

Hair Extensions: What an Interesting Subject...

Hello All!

Today was an interesting day. From being woken up around 9AM because they were putting insulation in downstairs, and as a result, I had to get up and sleep upstairs so that the smell wouldn't give me dead brain cells or at most a headache :P. I had to deal with a couple phone calls though from the Student Services at King's because I thought I had booked my music test with them for tomorrow, but it wasn't appearing on my log in page. I did get it all sorted out though thankfully, and luckily I get to write next Wednesday, so an extra week for studying.

I headed back to London around 2:30PM and just watched some television until around 6 since I had to head out to Speech. Now here's where my autism came in because I thought my best friend, Lauren, had possibly been a little put off with me, but once again I was completely wrong. It was just me thinking I had said something to offend her when in reality, she had just had such a busy weekend and as a result it made it difficult for her to get in touch with me by text message is all. Which was a relief.

Speech class was short because most people didn't have their manuscripts all finished or started except one person, so that person did her speech, her name is Summer so as to not sound rude by not saying who she is. We then just listened to the final Speech to Persuade and three impromptu speeches.

Then I just had a KUCSC meeting to hand in my application for Website Commissioner for next year (the position I'm in currently) and then headed home to write my Research Proposal which is what I'm currently doing.

That's all for tonight!
