First day of the last week of the semester
Went in extra early to print & mat…Well, got half of that done. Someone else was in the work room after I got done printing…They had someone else in there with them, who shouldn’t of been (as there isn’t enough room for extras in the work room, especially when other people need it!)…Plus they were working EXTRA slow…Matting really shouldn’t take THAT long. *rolls eyes* Anyway…They were being quite inconsiderate about space…& I just didn’t want to deal. So…I’ll be going in extra early tomorrow morning as well so I can mat all my photos.
Other than that…Got all my prints done…Used up all my photo paper. I’m not 100% thrilled with all the pictures I have picked out, but they are something.
I did some hand colouring, for my own purposes, and really liked how they came out…I’ll have to get some more pictures scanned.
Anyway…Photography: Need to get pictures mounted. Portfolio review is Wednesday @ 3:30.
Eastern Religions: Final Exam is tomorrow. I read through all my notes…Not sure how much good it did me.
3-D design: *shrugs* I really don’t know what’s going on with it at this point.
Creative Writing: *pokes at assignment #7* I’m not thrilled with it. I’m not sure he’ll care for it either. There is a bit of story that interrupts the story. *shrugs* It was good in theory. Also have my ‘Letter of Review’ done…So that’s all taken care of. Final meeting is Wednesday @ 1:00 @ Stella’s. Yay for lunch!
I was suppose to go on Harley’s field trip Wednesday…But as Dan has decided to go, I’m not going to go. I wish he’d just fall off the face of the Earth, really.
Friday he called, saying that he had changed his mind about wanting me to pay half for Harley to play soccer. Told him again that Harley told me he didn’t want to play. He of course, didn’t listen to anything I had to say about it. Then said he had this paper he wanted me to sign. O.o
The gist of it was that he would pay for soccer, he would provide transportation to games & practices. Then comes the kicker…He wanted me to 1.) Agree that I wouldn’t go to any of the games! [WTF! He says I’m a distraction. Tried to say that’s why Harley had trouble with T-ball, and that the only time he had trouble was when I was there.] 2.) That on Saturdays that their games were before 10 AM, that Harley would spend those Friday nights at his house. [Um…No. That is not what the custody agreement says.]
On top of this…1) Harley has told me repeated, he doesn’t want to play soccer (but he won’t tell his dad, because, well…I think we all know by now, he wouldn’t bloody listen anyway). 2) Harley has Autistic Spectrum Disorder! Some of his triggers: Loud noises, Chaos, Large groups of kids. [Hence he eats breakfast in the office, not the cafeteria, as there are too many kids, too much noise, etc. in there…& he usually ends up leaving gym class, because he can’t handle the team sports, noise, activity, etc. of such!]
Of course I can’t tell him any of this, and have him actually listen.
Mrs. Goading (Harley’s teacher) told him (& his hippo) today that she didn’t think it was a good idea to sign Harley up for soccer. [I guess Ann about had a cow when she said it…Imagine that, a hippo having a cow.] Mrs. Gooding also just attended a special meeting on Autism…So it’s not like she’s just coming up with stuff out of thin air. [Hopefully they listen & take into consideration what she said…But somehow I bloody well doubt that they will. They don’t give a damn about anything aside from what they want, and how they want things.]
ANYWAY…Like I was saying…He called, wanting me to sign the paper…The first time he didn’t even tell me what all was in it. I just told him Harley told me he didn’t want to play.
He called me later, saying he’d been up to the school, talked to Harley, asked him about it. Harley said he didn’t want to play goalie, but would play other things. He had Harley sign some paper saying he’d play. Then he told me all the things in this paper…There was no way I was going to agree to sign it. Told him I didn’t see the point in it. Told him I had every right to go to my own son’s games if I wanted to. Told him there wasn’t any reason for Harley to stay the night on Fridays, just because they would have to leave at 7 in the morning to get to a game.
He said if I didn’t agree to sign it that he was going to all Friend of the Court. I told him go ahead, call Friend of the Court. *rolls eyes* They’ll tell him to write a letter (which I’m sure his hippo will), and then we’ll just have to have a meeting with a mediator again.
On a totally non-related note…*giggles @ world ‘note*
June’s Shonen Jump came today…Despite knowing that Death Note ran in Shonen Jump before, I was surprised to see a picture of Ryuk in the Table of Contents.
A few pages in, the reason for him being there. *grins*
‘Relight: Visions of a God’ <— Tis a DVD that will be coming out in July. It’s the L vs. Light saga as seen from Ryuk’s perspective.
Okay…I’ve got to get to going. Have to get Harley to sleep…Get myself to sleep…Make it through this week…*pokes @ summer* Then try to figure out what I’m going to do to keep my sanity this summer.
*hugs you* hopefully we will all keep our sanity this summer. men.. sometimes i wonder if they even have brains at all.

I didn’t realise he was Autistic. I don’t know why I should have… but hey :O) I hope you get it sorted out for him – I have to agree though – loud noises, crowds and unfamiliar situations are about the worst possible thing for him. Grrrr at idiot men :O) Take care xxx

Thanks for the extra hug! Sounds like Harley may need a hug too. I can’t believe he’d want to put him in that position. I hope it all works out! *hugs*

*kicks Dan* Is he still trying to tell you that you can’t go to his games. Has the Court said anything? Blah. Wow. I can’t believe the semester is so close to being over! Bittersweet relief, huh? Considering it’s summertime, no more schoolwork, but you said you weren’t overly looking forward to the alone time over the summer. *huggles* Goodo luck on all your finals & such! *HUGS*
