a mobility challenge

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 23:48:58 GMT

So, I had the realization last night that I have a major mobility challenge to overcome. I can learn a route from 1 building to another, and I do perfectly when I'm walking it with someone, but when I have to do it by my self I completely freeze and forget what I'm suppose to do. I've had this problem for years, but have never put 2 and 2 together. The realization of this really hit me hard yesterday. Until I figure this out, no dog for me, end of discusion, I can't even think of a dog, until I get this figured out. Grrr!

weekend recap, and a bit of drama

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:51:27 GMT

so the weekend was spent doing exactly what I said i would be doing. I watched football after waking up on saturday. yesterday was church, which was good. We had a labor day picnic last night, which was fun. We had a bit of drama this morning. At around 11 a.m. the fire alarm started going off, I ignored it because I thought it was a test, since they've tested it so many times since I've lived here. But I was like, who'd be testing the alarms on labor day. So someone knocked on my door, and said we had to get out, their was a fire on the third floor. I picked up the cat, who was afraid of the alarm, and headed out. We stayed outside for about 10 minutes before we got the all clear. The cat did such a good job wile we were out their, she got 2 treats when we came back in. Luckly, all is well that ends well

long weekends are the best!

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 01:14:19 GMT

So class today was interesting. Writing went well enough, except for these people who wouldn't shut up, and it really was annoying ecause I was right beside them. Reading really ticked me off. Let me just say right off the bat that reading class is completely pointless, but due to my act scores, I have to take it. So we had to do a schedule of what time we would do everything, and a to do list of what all we would do. so yeah I cheated, so call the freeking cops. I could really care less. Instead of listing every single freeking day, I wote sunday, attend church from this time to this time. then during the week, I did mon, wed, and fri, and listed what times I went to class, and left the rest open for studyiing, yeah right, and household stuff. I left tuesday and thursday open for completing homework. so, tell me, what the hell is wrong with that. I did the assignment, even if I did it different. but nuo! she's making me re do it, which rwally pisses me off, plus, she sent me a file thing using ex ell, which I have no idea how to use, so damn! So I'm a bit upset with her at the moment. This weekend is devoted to reading, sleeping and football! yeah! I'm outa here!

a long day

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 02:29:25 GMT

so due to the fact that I'm ungodly tired, I'll make this somewhat short. School went well enough, Nothing major happened. After class I had mobility for an hour, I think I might have learned the final route to and from my class, which will be really good. So then I came home and ate, then headed out to church. I went to my favorite class, serious singers, which I love. Mom is comming tomorrow, which should be interesting, I just hope it goes well. I think i'm going to try and go read, but I have a nasty head ake, so I don't know how well that will go

first day recap, fall 09

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 02:00:14 GMT

So this morning was nice, because I was able to sleep until 8, since access rie didn't pick me up until 9:45.Well that was when my 30 minute window started, anyway. So I did various things until time for me to head out and wait for my ride. They actualy didn't get to me until right around the end of my window, so that was ok to. So off we went, we had to let someone else off somewhere then it was my turn. I told them what building I needed and they let me out their. I went in and was praying that I could find the classroom without much help, well I got my wish. Everyone ignored me. But I found the class without any problems, yeah! When I got to the door, I heard this really nice lady talking, and I was like,o, please be my teacher! It turns out she is in fact, my teacher. So I sat through the writing class, which was quite nice, she makes it interesting. But after that class came the problem, I didn't know how to get to the other building I needed to be in, so I wondered around, and a security person asked me if I needed help, and I told him I needed to get to the W building, He looked at me like I was speaking spanish or something, so he wasn't that much help. He got me to the building but then didn't know where to go after that, so I got help from this lady who got me to the right classroom. When the lady walked me in, the teacher looked at the woman and asked, will she need her handouts inlarged? The woman was like I don't know, I just helped her find the class. So then the teaher aske me the same thing, and I said, no, I need them emailed to me. She got kinda snippy with me and was like well I need your paperwork, you need to provide me with paperwork so I'll know what to do for you. At the start of every semester, I'm suppose to take the teachers a paper stating how I need my materials and other things like that. So, I don't think this woman is my favorite teacher. Leaving the building was the same ordeal, excpe I found help pretty quickly, and this guy took me to my class, and I wasn't late this time. My algebra class was ok. The teacher is a relaxed kind of guy, which is good for me. Not sure that I like his teaching style, he uses an overhead projector, I think, and doesn't alwayse say what he's writing on it. No homework as of yet, but I do have all my books and they work, I just need to figure out how to get from building to building fairly quickly. The teacher in W is strict about being on time, which all I can think is, o, my. That pretty much sumarizes things, am leaving out a few things, but nothing major.

in need of stability

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 18:26:22 GMT

I just feel like putting my thoughts down in writing. so here we go. as you know we're looking for a ministor at our church, this has been going on since january. since the end of last year, it's been change after change at the church, when I first started attending, we had 2 worship services, in december of 08, we combined to 1, which was fine except for the fact that the time was moved. Class was to be held after worship, this went on for 6 weeks, and at the end of that 6 weeks, we still had 1 service, but classes were held before worship like I was use to it. So today, they announced that class would again be held after worship, which I really wouldn't mind, except now worship starts at 8:30 a.m instead of an hour later. I use to walk from class to worship with a friend and sit with said friend, but now with the new schedule, it'll be next to impossible to find her in all the people. I'm just really ready for some stability, and enough changes. I'll adjust, as everyone will, but it's just different. The final preparations before class time tomorrow have begun. I've scheduled my ride, now all that's left is braille an index card with the classroom numbers and times on it. I only use this card for the first day or so, but it's good to have because I know I'll need help getting to a certain class . I go from 11:15 until 2:30 mon, wed, and fri. It'll be interesting to see how the semester plays out. We got a new sunday school teacher this morning, which was really cool. we will start an actual study in 2 weeks, since they will be out of town next week. I think we're going to study about christianity in the work place, which I'm really excited about. I actually get to go to church tonight, which will be really nice, I have not been to church on sunday nights in weeks. The weather today is really nice, I have the window open. well, that's all for now

an actual update

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 01:30:49 GMT

So, where to start, I guess I'll start with this week, which was busy enough, and then write more if I think of it. On monday, I had to go to campus to get books ordered and for some mobility. I got on campus almost an hour before I was suppose to, which was nice. So at the appointed time, give or take, my mobility instructor showed up. We learned a route to my class while taking my computer to DSS so she could order the books. About 45 minutes later we went back to DSS to see what progress had been made, and it turns out nothing had been acomplished. so I told her to just email me the books and I could order them from RFBD using her log in. so she did, and I was on my way. On access ride I struck up a conversation with an old friend, it was good to see them again. Wayne had arrived at my house while I was at school. So after hanging around the house for a bit, we headed out to the wilson county fare, which while fun, was very expensive! We didn't ride that many rides, we only rode 2, and of course we had to get that fare food! I got a burger and fries and a drink, and then we split a funnel cake, mmmm! So not long after that we were ready to leave, only problem is wayne couldn't remember where we parked. So as we were walking around trying to find the right way to our car, this guy pulled up in a golf cart, so wayne tried to tell him where we had parked. well anyway, we finallly found the car, it only took 45 minutes, and we got to see the fireworks which was nice. Then like true rednicks we went to walmart. I needed some stuff for the house, so we didn't get home until about 11, and then we messed around for another 2 hours, so it was about 1 before we got to bed.

On tuesday we went to the bank so I could put some money in, as we were leaving, we noticed a super cuts, and since I was long overdue, we went in, and I got a cut, which I must say, looks really good!then we came back home and wayne left not long after that. I got a text from a friend sometime on tuesday asking if I wanted to come hang out later that night, and of course I gladly excepted. so I went to hang out, ate spagity, and played cards, which I'm not very good at.
the rest of the week hasn't been to eventfull, except for the fact that I was sick last night and this morning, I was having digestion problems. I was up and down a ton last night, not fun at all!

I just did the final check to make sure all my books, which took forever to download, actually work, and all seems to be in order. I start classes on monday which is somewhat exciting, it'll get me out of the house3 days a week, so at least I'll be doing something.

One more thing to note: I had a major spatt with my x friend, thus the friendship endede on not so great terms. The ending was for the best, because I was tired of prentending to be someone I'm not, and trying to like things I have no interest in. I just wish things hadn't ended so bitterly, but I guess that's how it goes sometimes.

We get a new sunday school teacher at church on sunday, so I'm interested to see how that will work out.

well, I hope to update more in this thing, because I don't like writing this long, so I hope to try to write daily or at least every other day or so.

Until then: have a great day!

Well today has or the most part been ok. The evening was a bit rocky. I started getting really angry with the cat, when the only thing she did was object to being held. I spanked her for no reason at all. Then because I was really pissed, I put her in the tub of water, which she promptly jumped out of. Of course that, to pissed me off, so I put her back in their. As a result I have 3 huge scratches going down my leg. After a couple hours of being like this, I let her go, and clmied in my bed and lost it. After I was done, I realized what was upsetting me so much, and it had nothing to do with the cat. Church camp which I can’t go to, and have never went to, is happening this week. It ends tomorrow. It kills me that I can’t go to because I’m to old to be a camper, and have been tod that I shouldn’t try to work their because someone would have to guide me around all the time. While I understand this, it doesn’t mean I like it one bit.But it finally occurred to me why I’ve been so off these past few days. I seem to be better now. We’re having a service devoted to camp on Sunday, so that’ll be fun, but my annoyance will flare, it will never be voiced, but it’ll be their in the back of my mind, waiting for me to stop talking. Then it’ll strike. That’s all I have. Happier entries to come.

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 00:42:23 GMT

Well, today has been ok for the most part. Alex came over for a while so we hung out. I ordered pizza because I didn’t feel like cooking but was tired of starving to death. The woman I got on the phone was really nice. But the driver got lost, and called me. Only problem was I couldn’t understand his broken English and he couldn’t understand my not broken English. So 30 minutes later my pizza showed up, and he complained that he couldn’t find the place. That’s not my problem, buddy. Learn English and you wouldn’t have this problem. I hate when people don’t know English, and expect us to understand what they’re saying to us and then get pissed because they can’t understand us.I’m feeling a bit down at the moment, I don’t really know what the problem is. I started the long awaited winter girls, by an writer that I really like! The books been out for a few months, but bookshare just now put it up, yay! It’s about eating disorders, kinda depressing, but seems really good! In other news, I finally after much frustration on my part, figured out how to use a RSS feed reader. I had a hard enough time finding one, but people kept saying, there is one in IE, so I started playing with it, and have mastered the basics! That’s all from my end of planet earth. More when it happens!

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 04:11:45 GMT

Hello everyone! I’ve decided to stop by for an update. So what’s been happening with me. Well, alex and I went downtown last week, it went pretty well. I didn’t do as well as I could have, but well enough, and they’re will be plenty of time for improvement before I have to apply for TSE again. Other then that I’ve jus been reading. I’m re reading HP for about the 6th time. I’m on book 4, and all though I know what’ll happen, it’s still cool to catch the details that I seem to forget. I made some changes to my jaws settings. I increased the speed, and I turned off the echo. So it just seems like I’m a normal person typing on a computer. Which is good enough for me. I start school on the 31 of august, thank god. I think that’s about all I have for now, more when It happens!

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 02:42:37 GMT

So today has been good. Alex, his parents, and lark, the dog guide all went downtown. Well, and me to, duh! The purpose was to give lark, alex’s dog some good working time. I had fun, and am quite tired. So alex and I have decided to meet a couple times a week so he can work lark, and I can work on my mobility, so in a few months, I’ll be ready to apply again at TSE. He’s coming over on Monday for pizza, and we’re going down town on Tuesday and Thursday, we haven’t decided what we’re doing Thursday yet. So I’m sure they’ll be lots more updates. I think I’m off to unwind and read. Church in the morning, yay!

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:55:45 GMT

So I have lots and lots to update about. Don’t know how much will end up being posted here. First and formost, I have a new addition to my life. Her name is mary, and she’s a 4 year old cat. We’re having smooth sailing so far, I just got her on Thursday. That was an interesting process. Wayne and I went to the animal shelter down town, and went to where the cats were. I found a cat that was really social while in the cage, but first, she was 7 years old. Second, when the worker took her out of her cage, and brought her to a room where we could interact, she seemed really shy. I was going to take her anyway, but then the worker said, well we have mary, so we can go see her if you want. Since mary was the cat of the month, she had a room to her self. She wasn’t in a cage, just in a room like blossom and I were in to visit each other. As soon as I went in and sat down, she started trying to get close to me, and just being mary. Right then, I new I was sold. So she came home with me on Thursday afternoon. So we ran out and picked up cat litter, food, a brush for removing cat hair, and a litter box. After getting her settled, things just continued to go well. She sleeps a lot, but is my constant partner at night, always snuggling up beside me. Right now, she’s on the couch sleeping. I’ve been reading like a mad woman. Reading series of books, and reading Melissa gilberts biography. She played lora on little hous on the prarrie. In fact, I started another series today, that I know has at least 14 books in it. It’s by linda Cooney. I’m incredibly happy. Church is going great, the college class is good. Friendships are growing. What else can I ask for?

my week

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 20:45:09 GMT

Well, the past few days have been a rollercoaster of emotions. I have a friend who Is in NJtraining with his first seeing eye dog. So naturally, I was a bit upset that he was their and I wasn’t. I did allright until he got the dog, and told me its name and stuff. Then Igot the thought in my head that I wanted a dog, right now. I didn’t want to wait till next summer, it had to be this summer. Nevermind the fact that it’s the end of june. Nevermind the fact that the earliest I could get in would be September, which wouldn’t work due to classes.I decided that I would try another school since TSE rejected me. I discussed this with someone who’s been in my place, and was gently told not to do anything just yet, and try again next summer with TSE. However, I ignored this, thinking that TSE didn’t know what they were doing, and I could get in at GDB sooner. So instead of listening to all reason and logic, I took the plunge on Tuesday afternoon. I did the application online. After it was done, I worried and obsessed over it. It was not as extensive as TSE, so I thought, o yeah, I’ll get in, no question about it. I spent the next 2 days wishing they would contact me about what to do next. So this morning, I got my wish. They called and asked me some followup questions about my mobility, and just some general stuff. As they were telling me what would happen next, a thought started making its way through the fog of my befuttled mind. TSE already has my letters of reference,3 of them as a matter of fact, that I handpicked the people to write them. These people took the time to help me get into TSE, and I need to finish what I started. Plus, TSE already has my medical information and I would have to start from square 1 with GDB. So it’s just easier if I wait and see. Contact the seeing eye in a few months and they’ll come out and do another home interview, and we’ll go from their. So that’s my story. That’s what I get for making hasty decisions. By the way: TSE is the seeing eye. GDB is guide dogs for the blind. I just didn’t feel like writing that every time I reffered to them.
