A sunday...

So, it is snowing out at the moment. I wouldn't mind the snow if it didn't come with very cold weather...and it is VERY windy out. I hate the wind...it always is too loud on my ha when i go outside. My new versatas that I am getting have windblock. Hopefully that will help the problem of all that wind that the mic picks up. I went to the audi to drop of my integrated receiver for my right ha. Phonak is going to re-case it to silver so that it matches my other new one and my new pure translucent versatas:) I also moved my appt to 3 p.m. on the 23rd instead of 1 so that I can just leave work early instead of going back to work and rushing the appt. They said approx. an hour, but they want to do a quick audiogram and real ear measurement for the new hearing aids.

I also talked to the other audi, the guy, ron and he was like how come u didn't want me as an audi! lol I told him i'd rather a girl since I can understand girls better... (my loss is a lower db loss). Anyways he asked what I was taking in school so I told him I'm at college for a law clerk program and then next year I am going into linguistics and then taking either Audiology or Speech Language Pathology. He was like "AUDIOLOGY!!!"..lol I was like ya probably, and then he asked if I would like to go to U of Ottawa cuz he can get me in since he is head of the Dept. there. The only problem is that U of O is a predominant french school although english is offered as well...alot of french ppl go there and currently the SLP and Aud masters programs are ONLY offered in french! Which is really stupid in my opinion as in Canada we speach ENGLISH and french....and considering University of Ottawa is in ONTARIO and our first language here is english I find it stupid that they do not offer it in english and I don't really want to go away for school...at least not yet. Anywho when I finish my undergrad or am part way done I will figure out where I want to go...i'll tell him to pitch to the school that it should be offered in English instead of just french! I also told him I'm going to minor in ASL but that I do know Italian and Spanish, if that helps haha...he was like wow u are an over acheiver like Melanie (my audi). Well at least we have some things in common :p
