| I was doing a report for my functional analysis class, had to do a 2 page paper on the movie, Nanny McPhee. The DVD was defective, so I chucked it across the room, slammed the side of the computer with my right hand, and then I thought the monitor went out totally. Boom, I go to the floor, screaming... |

| I don't like it that they associate mental retardation with autism. Or the fact, when I'm not smiling, they assume I'm unhappy. Usually, I am content. Or, when they use subtleties instead of being direct with me. |

| One of those "shock stories" the popular media like to tell is how some rich families hire "image consultants" for their middle-school kids so they can begin to prep for going to a top-tier university by ensuring that everything their student does is towards that goal. I've no idea what the truth v... |

I just want to crawl into a hole and die, right now. I keep telling you guys that nothing is going to want to make me leave, ev... |

| What I do with my professors now is give them a handout, explaining what needs I may have for my college courses.

| Yes, I think it is important to get good grades, if you want a decent career! But, it isn't the end all of be all things. |
