So, school has pretty much gone to hell in a hand basket.
I’m in a special class for students with Asperger’s Syndrome, because I can’t handle a “normal” class. Good enough. However, since when did AS – which is a mild form of autism – mean that you’re also mentally retarded? Because that’s what this class seems to be: one for students who can’t keep up with the pace the “normal” classes keeps. Not that there’s anything bad about that, absolutely not, there are plenty of people who need that, but that doesn’t mean that it’s a class adapted for Aspies. It means it’s a class with a reduced course of studies.
I wish someone had told me this before I started it. Because as things look now, I’ll have to remain in this year when I change schools this autumn, because I won’t get any marks. The courses in this class take three terms to finish, rather than two, as the courses are supposed to last. That means that History A takes a year and a half rather than just one year. Also, I won’t be able to get any marks in Swedish, because they have changed substitute teachers so much that no one has a clue about what we students have done and what we haven’t. The communications between my teachers are beyond dreadful. Argh!
And just to make matters worse, I’ve suddenly got a new mentor, which sucks for more reasons than one. Firstly, my new mentor is, frankly, somewhat of a bitch. I won’t sugar-coat it; I don’t like her. And this is coming from me, who vastly prefer to hang out with my teachers rather than my classmates. Secondly, I have – or rather, had – only three teachers that I actually liked: P, N and K, and K is my private tutor in English whom I only see once a week. But P was my Social studies and my original mentor, but now he’s been replaced with this new chit. I’m just happy I still have N for my History teacher, because he actually understands and helps me rather than throw spanners in my works. What part of “hate changes and need proper preparation for everything”, which is only the most prominent AS trait, don’t they get?
Anyways. So now I’ll just focus on four subjects; Social studies, History, English and Computer knowledge. The latter two are piece of cake, so I only need to work with Social and History. Eugh.
Things have gone so far that I’ve had to drop out of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
holmes_big_bang, because there’s no way in hell I’ll manage that. As you can imagine, I’m a little bit upset by that.
Oh well, now I can put my whole heart and soul into my and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladylovelace’s project, at least. I’ll go and work on those illustrations I’m so terribly behind with.
But, on a happier note: Shakira’s Lo Imprescindible is apparently the Sherlock Holmes movie in Spanish, minus the Lord Blackwood plotline. How interesting. ♥ (Original lyrics and a translation.)
Fffffff. Why does she have to be so awesome and gorgeous? Why can't she be one or the other?
