Hi losers (I um mean listies):
Damn. That's one hell of an instrument. Rofl. Any reason why they
gave it such a massive name? Lol.
I've never had to deal with the counseling center at my school -
although I was tempted to after one particularly depressing
incident last spring - but I can't say I know anyone who deals
with it, and I have talked to at least a couple of people who
have coped with depression in college. That kind of tells me
something about it, if you ask me. I did some stuff with the NFB
in my early teenaged years - and a little bit in my senior year
of high school - and going off of what Kaiti said, Devin, I think
it could definitely be a huge asset to your situation. There are
a lot of motivated, hard-working students there that have
probably been through your situation, and it would be to your
advantage to get in touch with them. Hell, the peeps in charge,
for lack of a better term because I'm half awake, would be a good
asset for those same reasons. Lol. Even though I wasn't that
involved with the NFB growing up, just having the chance to
interact with - and ultimately learn from - other blind fucks my
age, for whatever reason, was some sort of motivator that, even
now, I can't really explain. For this reason, I vote that Devin
should be forced into a plastic bag and hauled into NFB events.
Murmrmrm? I mean, uh... screw it. I'm tired. Leave me alone!
Alone, I say!
P.S. Kaiti, I didn't get the reference, although something with
the initials RC seems to snap to the forefront of my mind. Or
maybe I wasn't supposed to get it. I don't know.

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.

Yes, but bookshare doesn't have a lot of translations. And, the
Braille
sense has an SDK.

Lol. My apologies. I was thinking of the BrailleSense Plus by GW
Micro. I'm
really really tempted to appeal to State Services for the Blind
and see if
I
can't trade my apex out for one. But then again, my apex and I
go way back,
and I would be very sad indeed to lose it. Plus, all glitches
aside, my
apex really is awesome.
It's just that, from what I've heard, a BrailleSense is a little
bit
more...
shall we say, equipped?

Ah, the braille plus isn't all that yet. Yeah yeah, you can
install apps,
all that. But its on android 2.3.5. And APH keep saying they'll
push an
update, but that hasn't happened since November of last year.
Ugh, they should hire more devs or something, because I'm
getting sick of
the bugs that clearly stand out to me and other bp18 users.
And,
the reader app only works with daisy books. You have to download
go read
just to read epub books. And, and and and... The braille plus 18
doesn't
even have a calculator app! And I've tried countless calc apps,
none of
them
are accessible.

Hello, my children.
I know what you're probably thinking. What? Another BTT
message?
I thought I was finally able to get rid of that group thingy
once and for
all!
Well, sorry to disappoint you. Here I am, once again, annoying
you all
with my pointless ramble. Why am I torturing you, you ask?
Well, a few
reasons come to mind. Firstly, I just wanted to see who
actually responds.
Second of all, I somehow managed to accidentally download every
last email
I have ever sent using my gmail account onto my iPhone
recently, and among
them are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of old Btt emails -
many of
which I was going through today - and it made me feel a little
nostalgic.
Last but not least, I'm a little disappointed in myself for
letting this
thing die the way it did, and not let it possibly evolve or
grow into
something hugistically huger, like I had once dreamed.
So, there you have it. I suppose I could have simply said
"heyy wats up
w/
yall how r u doin" and been done with it, but I'm wide awake
and somewhat
in a ranting mood. So please, pardon my transgression this time
around.
Love,
Your subconscious
P.S. I like fried chicken.
