How is your day?

Post Reply New Topic

Before I start this question, I must say
thankyou for your criteques I got in my
#400 post survey. I am taking to heart
and hope this tactic of setting up a forum
works:

1)...State a question
2)...Use quotes for my sample statement
3)...Let you continue and hopefully don't
get overwhelmed by my train of logic
4)...Avoid doing surveys unless someone
shows me how to do it right...Hint, Hint!

1)...The Question

"How is your day?" and if you choose to respond
thankyou.

2)...My statement in quotes.......

You seem to be getting much better at wording your posts. Happy! I can tell you're a nice person, just stressed and a nervous. I sometimes wonder if people understand what I am trying to say, but I can always brush that feeling. You should find some sort of coping device to help wiht your stress. Just some advice.

Oh, sorry...just found the question.

My day was a bad one. My group and I were supposed to present a project in History. No one had anything, so we have to finish it tonight and turn it in a day late. I also have prom tommorow and want to sleep in so I can stay awake at prom (8pm to 12am). My mom is my ride, and won't let me. Still negotiating and might do it any ways (sleep in). After school, I had work until 10pm. Stressed out and tired from school and work on previous days, I barely survived. Here I am now, typing on this forum. That's my day in a nutshell. (figuratively)

I will have to admit I am overdramatic if I push
obsessively. If I didn't care about something
I wouldn't put myself in such a state. The
obsession thing is good but can have bad results
to the body. How's the formating idea?
Think it might do the trick.

My day went really well to boot, it was a very hectic one I might add also.

11:10am - I was worried this morning in my media production class that I was not going to be able to find a partner for my final project. However, I was suprised to find that my radio partner wanted to work with me again. Apparently I impressed him with my techincal know-how.

2:00pm - I arrived at the TV studio for the weekly taping of "Titan Tech", the TV show I volunteer on to fullfill my degree requirements.

4:00pm - The TV show is done taping and then I had to head over to the student union for the live production of "Battle of the Bands"

This was going to be the biggest challenge of the year for me. Setting up for a remote production is no easy task. And I was picked to run camera for the event which meant I would be right up next to the stage. I was horrified as the sound crew setting up brought in speaker after speaker. The space we were in was about 2500 sq ft, and according to the sound tech whom I asked, 15,000 watts of music power was being pumped out by those speakers. There was so much power there that during sound checking, the lights in room were flickering in sync with beats of the music.

Now who in their right mind needs 15,000 watts of music blasted into a confined space to be satisified? Not an aspie like me with hypersensitive hearing!

The program started at 7pm. I took up a spot with camera on shoulder next to a large concrete support pilar that I used to shield myself from the speaker bank on the other side of it. Once music playing commenced, I went into hyperfocus and blocked out all incoming auditory sensations, but found I didn't have to since the concrete pilar provided for a dead zone right next to it where the sound level was tolerable. At one point out of curiosity I stepped back away from the pilar just to see how bad it was. I was repelled like being hit with a water cannon. The physical pain I felt in my ears from the sound system was horrible and I retreated back to the shelter of my pilar. Yet people who came to see the preformance were standing right next to and in front of this noise maker acting like it was no big deal.

I did a 90 minute shift on camera and was relieved. I went down to a couch where I crashed and crashed hard for the rest of the night. I got back to my dorm room at 10:45.

It's now 12:18am and my ears are still ringing from this event.

This day is going to suck. I say this because I have to convince one of my teachers to extend the date for return of my coursework, I have to finish off some ICT and I will be followed by fat people trying to eat me.

Today I went to a meeting at the social office. I am trying to find a plan for me where to live, where to go to work/school, and some kind of aspie group/network. My mom went with me, and allthough everyone are trying to help, I just feel like I am "seling myself short", like I could live up to my potential beeing an artist or something. And everyone just wants me to get some job.. Well at least they are trying to help.

Today was the first time I admitted to beeing mayorly depressed in front of my mother and the social-office-lady.

I managed to get through the meeting without crying. Yay!

I guess that is all,

My day started at 10:05 A.M. today. I got dressed, applied some acne medication, combed my hair, and brushed my teeth. After that, I went down to the dorm lobby to pick up free copies of a couple of newspapers. I came back up to my dorm room, started playing some Red Hot Chili Peppers, and did one of the problems on a computer science assignment that's due by midnight tonight. Then I did some pushups and came here. I'll be eating lunch in a few minutes with a guy who was originally one of my brother's friends in high school and elementary school. After that, I have my first class at noon and my second class at 2:00. If it doesn't rain again today, I might go on a bike ride before finishing my homework.

3. A language is someone's gateway to understanding the world and may influence his or her perception of it.

My day has not sucked that much in retrospect.

To clarify: that day I had some ICT work I had finished but just needed to print it off and hand it in. In regards to the fat people trying to eat me, they do it all the time. All the fatties waddle after me insulting me in their way of hunting if they actually have the energy to walk.

First of all, I realize that no one likes to do homework, not many people, anyway; but it is a necessary evil that is best, by 9th grade, to know that ya gotta do what ya gotta do. This is not the case in our house.

Ian couldn't sleep last night (he didn't do his assignments and homework); his teacher in world civ I e-mailed us about this, as do all of his teachers, when he doesn't turn in his homework, what with Asperger's and not being organized nor able to remember things well.

He didn't go to school today for lack of sleep; we know that 99.9 times if he has insomnia, it means that he is slacking off and is being bothered on some level in his mind, and cannot sleep because of it.

First, the heck about not doing the assignments, but he lies straight faced to us about doing it, knowing that we are going to find out and the s--t will surely hit the fan.

Maybe someday, somehow, Aspie or not, he will realize that lying is not permitted in this house, nor anywhere else, that it seems to me to be some kind of a character flaw.

That is how my day went and I hope that everyone else's was a heck of a lot better.

You will find AS and HFA folk develop
good coping skills, but that is not always a
safety net. Each day is new day and a
new inner strength, and through expression
ones coping skills will develop better and
stronger like the mighty oak in the field
of grass where no other tree will stand.
It is the support of others and belief
in oneself then they shall persevere,
I hope IAN grows strong from within
and his mighty oak will be equally as
strong in it's field of grass.

Sincerely,
Ghosthunter

P.S...The strength is nuturing these
coping skills!

In the body of a lamb beats the heart of a lion.

As strong as the oak yet as flowing as the reeds.
