About Meeting from Monday & Other Tuesday stuff:

Okay…Apparently something happened, so he who was not suppose to be able to make the meeting, made the meeting, and brought his creature of habit with him as well. I didn’t go alone this time either though, I took Mum with me, as she knows Harley better than either one of them EVER will.

I don’t think either one of them have a bloody clue about anything…Or are simply accomplished liars (which I know Dan is) or don’t realize they are clueless. As at one point Ann says Sonja knows she can talk to either one of them about anything. *rolls eyes* What-the-fuck-ever! That is NOT what we get.

Anyway…From whatever they had given to TBA before, from the last meeting, they told them to fill out this one paper, and they would get started. There are usually a list of tests that TBA likes to have done prior to them coming in and checking things out. So yeah, whatever was said initial seems to have done the trick. So…If all goes well, and TBA moves quickly…We may have a diagnosis by sometime February. We’ll have to sign some papers most likely, saying it’s okay from them to do the testing, then they’ll have 30 school days to get it done and the evaluation all settled.

Thus far, since going back to school after break, Harley has been doing a bit better. They’ve taken to letting him eat breakfast in the office, which has cut down with the over stimulation in the mornings, so he settles in better. Mrs. Gooding says he’s only had a couple incidents…And those have been during test times…He’s ended up ripping up his tests & starting to yell. Mrs. Gooding has told him he has to go out as the rest of the students are trying to concentrate. He leaves, and it back a couple minutes later, returned to calm. His papers are dead, but he’s calm and back in the room, and at this point, that’s a good thing.

I’m still worried about next year (I know a bit early, but with good reason). Harley doesn’t like to get teased, it sets him off. Well, the teacher he’s suppose to have is good at teasing the students. He bloody well knows it makes Harley mad, and even after knowing that (and getting a carton of milk thrown at him) he’s still apt to do it. I talked to Mrs. Gooding, and she’s said she’s even talked to Mr. Z about it, and has told him he can’t do that with Harley. He doesn’t when Mrs. Gooding is around anymore…But I don’t know if he’ll be able to keep that up when she’s not around.

Mrs. Gooding has also said that she’s trying to build a trust relationship with Harley, and that she’s hoping next year, if he does have problems, that her classroom will be someplace Harley feels safe coming to when he needs to.

Anyway…Got off topic (per usual). Not much really happened at the meeting…Only to say that this is this, and that is that…And testing hopefully soon.

After the meeting me and Mum went to talk to the consoler without Dan and his whatever along. Told him the things Sonja has told us. Let him know that the Critters are unhappy at their dads. That we hear the opposite of what Dan & Ann said about how the Critters feel. So hopefully that will do some good somewhere.

Anyway…I’ve got a couple things I’m suppose to do before school…Look for some of the Critters stuff they want with their gift cards yet. [Having a heck of a time finding a black iCat. *shakes head* At least Sonja is not spending all her money before finding one and still wanting one this time…Then again, I have custody of it at this point too, or she might just do that.]

I shall return & post this after school…& possible add a bit more about today’s escapades.

Yeah…Things didn’t quite go how I had planned. Bad weather, crappy roads, and evil snow made it a bit longer getting home. [Walked from one building on campus to another…By the time got from point A to point B…I was blanketed down the front of me in snow. O.o I hate snow.

Anyway…Upon getting home Critters went insane. Mum said they were fine until I walked in the door. *falls over* I do not hope this is going to be the norm…It just won’t work.

Ate dinner, too much noise to really do anything. Sonja & Harley at one point went tearing off after each other…Not sure exactly how or why…Next thing I know they are knocking over the bookshelf in the kitchen that holds all my cookbooks. O.o *falls over*

Did, sort of, get my Creative Writing assignment done…its utter rubbish, even more so than usual. But I just couldn’t get it how I wanted…It’s hard to pull out my thought process and put it on paper. Not surprising really, as you’ve all been witness too, it jumps all over the bloody place.

Anyway…School life Tuesday. *beats James with sticks* Bloody prat that he is. He didn’t get the right class. *pouts* Instead of being in 3-D design with me, he’s in Materials and something or another for Visual Communications. The classes are right next to each other in the Fine Arts Building, but still. I had been looking forward to actually having him in class. *pouts* Oh well…I will still get to see & talk to him though, as I think I will still be eating lunches at the college on Tuesdays & Thursdays. It seems I’m going to be staying up after dropping the Critters off at school, it’s going to be the one time I have some quite & time to myself. [I’m already missing the quiet reading time in the back of Appa that I had last fall.] If I head over to the college an hour early I can eat lunch with James & Reese like we did last semester.

Reese is going to be in my Eastern Religions class…She got the teacher to sign the paper she needed him to sign yesterday (as the semester had already started she needed his okay).

Oooo…I found the coffee machine! *laughs* I knew there should have been one closer to the Fine Arts Building, instead of having to go all the way to either West Hall (which is where the cafeteria is), or the Health & Science Building (which has a crappy coffee machine). It’s in the Becket Building! It’s the next building over (and I swear I hate the way it’s set up already…Tis maze-y and not in the fun way. *sticks tongue out at it*), which is where Eastern Religions is at…So it’s a quick little walk. Yay for that!

So Mondays & Wednesdays I have 40 minutes between classes, and 10 classrooms apart all in the basement level of the same building to go from one to the other. Yeah…I have 40 minutes to figure out what to do with. *laughs*
Tuesdays & Thursdays I have 10 minutes between classes, have to leave the building I’m in, but the other one is right next door so it’s not too far to walk…Though bundling up in the cold is incontinent for such a short trip. [Have I mentioned I hate snow, and that I’m ready for Spring already?]

I’ve got 3 chapters to read for Eastern Religions for next Tuesday…Upon which we will be having a test already. *falls over* Blah. But the teacher seems nice

enough, and perhaps a bit insane. Class shouldn’t be too much of a drag & boring.

We only had an hour of 3-D design yesterday…He was just telling us what we’d need, a bit of what we’d be doing. He’s going to work with what the class in interested in doing to make up what our projects are going to be.

Today…I should get my first roll of film for Photography class. J So somewhere along the lines this week-end, I’m going to have to get outside, *shudders* and get some pictures taken. Of course the highs and lows for temps are ranging in the single digits all this week-end. Blah.

Talked to Sonja about her iCat wants on the way to school this morning…Told her it was not easy finding a black one. She said next in line is a black iMouse (do they even make iMice? *shrugs*) then a white iCat (which I should actually be able to find…Maybe…I think) or a white, then pink iMouse. I can find bloody iDogs all over the place, but nooooooo…She doesn’t want one of those. *laughs*

Anyway…I am off for now…Think I’m going to make a couple CDs to put in Appa. If I can get it to work…I don’t think I’ve tried to make any CDs since getting this laptop.
