We were greeted at the JHS with the same line of baloney that they handed to us when we graduated from the same school. I think that they still use the same speech when a new class arrives and another one graduates. You know the speech, it starts like this: "My dear young men and women; and you are young men and women--" I guess they thought, that we thought, we were anything but young men and women. Weren't they silly? Or were they? In the last year of JHS I chose the Mechanics Arts Course, so I could go to college and study to become an Electrical Engineer, so when I graduated to High School they automatically without consulting me, transferred me to the Academic course. So, like all other Academic students I graduated from High School, knowing absolutely nothing of any practical use# So I proceeded to go to college to use it. Unfortunately I ran out of mazuma after the first year, and I have not as yet aquired enough to go back to my studies.

Then a little over a year ago, as a result of reading scientifiction for over ten years I ran into a bloke named Baltadonis, and he created an interest in me for the publications, and this is one of the results of that interest. (What a result. 'Twould that there were no results!) Or what would you say? One of my friends (?) reading this over my shoulders as I type it remarks: (quote) "'Twould that he were drowned as a pup!" (Unquote)

As the pup refered to I resent the remark however everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion so I must let the remark pass.

Since a biography, auto or otherwise, is a recounting or retelling of things of the past, my autobiography must end here since the present has yet to come to the past, and the next chapter has yet [[to be?]] written.
