Hi, Going off of what Emily said, I have gotten mixed reviews about the counseling center at my school. Some say it is great, and really look forward to their appointments; personally though, I really did not feel like the counselors tried to understand what I was telling them about, and switched counselors because I just didn't feel like the first one I was assigned was even working well with me. He actually asked if we were done before he even addressed any of the goal statement s he had me write at the beginning of our talks, so I thought that was pretty shadey. The next person thought the answer to my problems would be just prescribing me a drug and sending me on my merry way, for a disorder I do not actually have. I was stressed out, and needed some help managing it; but I got some infrequent appointments with overbooked and under-empathetic psychologists who really did not help me at all. Perhaps all you need might be a change in classes if you can swing it; I have a slightly lighter course load and some variation in classes which I did not have last semester, and I'm much happier and have more of my stuff together this semester. It's amazing what changing your classes can do. If you do need to talk to someone, I would not see the school counselors, and would look for someone more impartial to the school stuff. An NFB student division would be great, and would connect you with some other blind students who are new in your state. I am president of the Ohio Student Division, so if you would like help in connecting to your state president just let me know.
I'm actually really happy because I'm taking a communications module which ends after week 5. And guess what week it is? Guess, what, week, it is? Week, fiivhvhvhvhvhvhvhve! I hope someone got the reference, lol. So, that will be 1 credit down, 19 to go for this semester. I can definitely sympathize with Emily on the concert-mania too; I have a concert this weekend, a Thursday Night Live performance on the 27th, and a few concerts in April for the various groups I'm in to start preparing for. One group has me learning a mideaval instrument called the viola de gamba, which is best described as the ugly wedlock child of a guitar and a violin/cello depending on whether you are referring to the treble or bass versions. It looks weird, but I love it! Anyway, night y'all. Sorry if I rambled.
