  • Back to Blogging

    Long time no see I know. I honestly did not mean for it to turn out that way. Good news is that I have been faithful in writing so far this year. I will post those entries in a few days. We have been remodeling and stuff.

     I got a new laptop today. I have been waiting for it for a few weeks now. The people at vocational rehab got it for me for school and stuff. I've never told anyone about vocational rehab, they basically help people like me that are visually impaired and / or blind get jobs. They help people with other disabilities as well. They are a government organization. You can't even imagine how much they have helped me these past few years. My old councilor over there got transferred somewhere else a few days ago. You are given a councilor and they help you. I have a new one now, her name is Judy. My previous one was named Rhett, he is completely blind. I really like my new councilor.

     Anyway, school has been going pretty good, you will get more details when I put my other entries up tomorrow or sometime in the next few days. Today I had choir, and forgot my music folder haha. I was still able to do pretty good despite this. Going backwards, I had a tariyaki bowl for lunch before this. I have an hour off between classes, though you will probably also hear me say this in the entries i haven't put up yet as well.  Before my one hour break I had a class called "Student Success. The class basically helps you get better at studying and reaching your goal in life. At least that is what it is supposed to do. It helps you with college and stuff.

     In the class we visited this place on campus that also helps you get jobs after college. I intend to use this place in the future on top of vocational rehab. We also discussed being conflicted with our interests and career choices.

     Before i went to school today the carpet guy came again. He came a few weeks ago as well when we did the upstairs carpet. This time he is doing the downstairs carpet as well. He only got to put the pad on the floor today. The pad goes underneath the carpet. He didn't have to do my room today because we already did it when we did the upstairs. My room was the only one that got carpeted that was downstairs a few weeks ago.

     Nothing happened this morning besides this, just got ready for school and stuff.

     After school I went with my dad to get my new laptop (which I am typing on right now). I was and am still very happy to finally have a good computer for school and for home. No doubt it is going to be easier to do homework and other school work on it. On top of this I will finally be able to take notes. I write to slow, but I type really fast.

     Anyway, I have just been setting up the computer mainly for the rest of the day. I have a little psychology test tomorrow and I have been studying for that as well.  I also went to a relief society activity and we played games and talked and stuff.

     The most exciting thing and also the scariest thing to happen to me happened about 2 hours ago. I was on my way to the Relief Society activity and I was running across the crosswalk, my phone fell out of my pocket, right in the middle of the crosswalk. I didn't know this until I got to the church building and felt that my pockets were empty. I panicked and began re-tracing my steps back the way I came. I got to the crosswalk and saw it there. I wasn't sure at this point in time if it was broken or now, or if someone had ran it over. It was the longest 25 seconds of my life waiting for the crosswalk to tell me I could go. I finally ran out and grabbed it. It did not even have a scratch on it and still works perfectly still. I am so glad it did not break.

     The odd thing about thsi is a few days ago I had a dream that my phone broke. I honestly think that was a warning to be careful with my phone. I obviously was not careful enough but got lucky this time. I'm just glad I didn't lose it at SCHOOL! That would have been bad.

     Anyway I guess this is all. can't wait to get my other entries up.
