I'm sorry, dear SuicideGirl journal. I can't help but neglect you, even if you did cost me a whole AU $12.50.
Not that anybody reads this delightful piece of shit, but nothing has been new with me. At all. I was off of school for a whole week last week with some sort of virus/flu. I went in Tuesday because I had a SAC to do, but other than that, I was in bed 99.9% of the time, reading and sleeping, mostly. Possibly doing some other ungodly things, but I'll leave that to your imagination.
I really hate missing school, not because it's so super fun and all of that, but because it's so hard to catch up on, especially in History. It's strange because History is is the only class I actually give a damn about, it seems, and it's something I want to do really well in. I'm dreading my speech on Benjamin Franklin, but I'm sure it'll be all right. Speaking of which, I should probably head off to the library soon...
Speaking of school and the like, mum and I are making an appointment with a disability's something-or-other next week and we'll finally discuss what I should do with myself next year, as in, whether I should continue studying and go into some form of tertiary course, or if I should pursue some form of training in order for me to get some form of work. It's all so scary right now and I'm really nervous about next year. I'd like to get into a writing course, maybe, but I honestly don't think I'm up to par; I like to think I'm a good writer with reasonable understanding of the English language, but recently I've been feeling really down on myself in comparison to others and their abilities.
Poo.
Hopefully we'll figure something out, though, and I'll at least have a rough idea as to what the hell I'm doing next year with my life (or lack of). I'm fairly certain that I won't be so undecided when I talk to this particular woman as she is also severely vision impaired; for some reason I feel more comfortable with others who are experiencing something similar to me, so that's at least something.
Afterwards, mum and I may pop into the Low Vision Clinic and see what new gadgets they have for sale. As far as equipment goes for aiding me in my condition, I don't have very much. Actually, all I do have is a monocular (hand-held telescope) and red contact lenses, which I suppose is both good and bad: good because I am not absolutely dependent on equipment in order for me to get by each day, and bad because I'm disadvantaging myself greatly by not looking into things which may ease my comfort levels significantly, which I really should do, because then I may not suffer from so many tension headaches and tiredness.
I hope you're doing well, whoever you are.

Oh yes they do hehe, even if we don't always leave a comment
Oh and never stop believing in your self, the only true handicap anyone has is self doubt, your mind will set you free and so on.
Cheers pretty girl.
