Hm, let's see. Should I start with the good things or the bad things? Bad things...
The bad things are that numbers still get jumbled in my head. Math is getting easier. Everytime I do it, I understand it better. Sometimes, with the really hard questions, I have to use a calculator. Good thing I have one on my computer!
Another bad thing is my legs always get a little cramped. It makes it hard for me to focus because being cramped is really annoying.
Really bright lights still effect me. The noise problem hasn't bothered me for awhile. Up until last month, that is. One of my aunts had a small party at her house. I had to go outside a couple times to chill out. Thought my Aunt Joleen's mac and cheese? Delicious! And the sfingi that Aunt Karen made? YUM! Although, when she posted (on Facebook) that the sfingi were rising, it came out the SPHINX was rising!!!!!! Stupid spell check......
Everything is a little easier now that I'm homeschooled. No loud cafeteria. No enemies. Especially no Mr. Renzo. He didn't get me. He also made really bad jokes. I seriously wanted to throw him out the window. But, I didn't. So we're good.
Now, for the good things.
Hang on. A little writer's block here....
Here's a cool thing I can do! Actually, a lot of aspie people can do this! I can listen to an audio book and read a regular book at the same time! Sometimes, I get lost in one of the story lines. And I can pretty much always to 2 different things at once. This makes it easier for me to learn because I can be doing K5 (learning software) while listening to something on Time4learning (learning software).
I think I learn stuff a little faster. I understand a little more about what I like to learn. I like to learn English, chemistry, and at the very bottom of that list, math.
I also like spending time with my family. And I'm still really excited about hugs. Hugs make me feel warm and cozy. They make me feel safe. This makes me unusual. Most autistic people don't like to be hugged.
Now, the books I like to read have changed a little bit. And by a little, I mean a lot! I still like Geronimo Stilton books. But, they just don't appeal to me as much as they used to. I found a new favorite series! Percy Jackson and the Olympians, by Rick Riordan. I've also been reading, The Land of Stories books that Lucas from ballet likes to read. And I have reason to believe that the next book will come out later this year, or early next year. I've also read the Odyssey, and that taught me a lot about Greek Mythology. And I've started the Illiad. But, it's a little harder to read. I have a big knowledge about Greek Mythology. I can give you a 3 hour lecture on it. And it would be on 1 topic alone!
I have to admit, my tastes changed a lot in the last couple of years. I've eaten some different foods. I've tried a lot of stuff. Heck, I even like fish fries now! Only the type from Pat's (restaurant).
Before I forget, I have a little shout out about the Penguin books. I'm going to put aside the Christmas Special and just write another book. And wait for next year to publish the Christmas Special. And speaking about books? Be sure to look out for the ghost special I'm going to write.
And I guess that's it.
Stay tuned 'til next time!
