First week of school...

So, yesterday was my first day back to school from two weeks ago
lol i had a bit of a break but i did summer school.

Anywhooo I had to get my friend's schedule changed to match mine because she is going to be my notetaker. So i told her i needed my schedule changed..well my friend talked more cuz there were soo many ppl i was kind of lost in the convo...newho i told her i am deaf/hoh and I need a notetaker and she stops me mid sentence and goes " WOW you speak SO well!" ..i was lke..ummm thanks and then she proceeds to ask me if i was born that way, and how it happened and was it recent and she threw in some great expressions and nods and was like wow..i think im losing my hearing too! i was like ook..and then my friend was lke well we are already late for class soo....and she was like ooo im so sidetracked..well do ur job maybe?
It was a very awkward situation.

And then..doom..accounting class ...I'm not a math person so when I saw that it was a guy teaching it I was iffy..and then I got there gave the teacher my student plan sheet and sat in the front row (comp lab) with 60 comps on (with the loud fans) and we find out he is a pacer..like not pace around in the front..i mean he paced the WHOLE room side to side, back to back, 360'd talked to the wall..and then he says "is my constant pacing bothering anyone?" i didn't want to say YES out loud so i nodded very non discreetly and I was like i can't hear you very well, did you read the paper i gave you? he was like No. I was like ook..nd he kept teaching didn't even glance at it..and at this point it was in front of him too...so i talked to him after and he was lke u and ur notetaker sit in the middle so hopefully you can catch me at all angles....So now i am super ancy about that class cuz not only am I going to have trouble cuz its math..but also cuz i can't hear anything..I am going for another hearing test aided and un-aided on friday to see how that is and I'm gonna ask for a volume boost and talk about possibly an ha for my left to be more "balanced"...

newhoooo thanks for listening guys

Decorated my ha!

Heyy so I was bored today and decided to clean out my side drawers and guess what I found!? Pink and white rhinestones...I had boughten them to decorate my cell phone awhile back and I guess I forgot I had them! So, that saved me a trip to the dollar store and a few bucks:) Enjoy the pics:P

vaca soo far..

I had a bit of a let-down when my dad told me I couldn't go to BC anymore to see him since he had a bunch of meetings pushed up and stuff. So, instead he and my lil brother are coming next week!
Moreee great news! My aunt was spose to be due in 3 weeks but the baby was early but he's a healthy 7 pound 7oz baby boy named Stefano. My other lil cousin (her 1st) is very attentive of his new brother and really wanted him to wake up lol. My aunt and my lil cousin are going home 2morrow. I am looking at possible new ha's that I might want to upgrade to if need be. I would really like to stay with phonak since My reciever for my fm only goes with phonak ha's (mlx9? reciever) it integrates into the ha so it you can't really see it.

I hae to go out and buy new batteries for my ha. I want to maybe buy a pack..anyone know a really good place to buy them and long lasting ones. I used the energizer ones this time around and they worked pretty well. My ha died today during work and i had ONE more left:) thank goodness for that. I still haven't decorated my ha cuz i haven't gone to the dollar store..but soon enough!!!

Last day of Summer Schedule

So tomorrow is my official LAST day of classes and exams for the summer. I have two weeks off and am looking forward to some R&R. I have been on the go since last sept. having classes and one week off and then the new summer semester started, which left me no me time really. Sooo i am going to see my dad in british columbia (canada) and my lil brother lives there with him so that should be fun. I haven't seen them since x-mas...

Anyways on the negative side i was NOT able to make changes to my schedule and I still haven't met with my disabilities counselor yet either. Although we are scheduled to meet tomorrow. And YAY for me I found my FM system that they bought for me to keep (Phonak Smartlink SX) which was an arm and a leg so thank god that I did not lose it:) I am a lil bummed that I can't work often in the fall cuz of my sched but maybe I can make more $$ selling avon :)...ya i'm an Avon lady:P

I have yet to go to the dollar store to get the diamonds that i wanted to decorate my ha with but i will soon:) and i will post pics when i do:)

I am thinking i wil join the deaf community too around here and try to integrate myself so i can start learning asl ...i am SOOO interested and willing to learn it and be fluent ..i am so excited to take it and learn more about deaf culture..

I think I would like to take Linguistics in university and be a speech pathologist or speech therapist and minor in ASL. I think I would be really good at it:)

Fall 08 Schedule?

I am really annoyed at my sched. Since I am currently in college the school picks the schedule at random and there are three diff groups. This summer i HAD to go to school to complete my 2nd semester since I switched programs (business to law) and i had mondays off but class at 8 am everyday!..which kinda bits cuz any long weekend isn't a long weekend anymore since i have mondays off anyways...lol..So i have mondays off again for the fall BUT i have class at 8 am everday again..I have trouble sleeping cuz of my tinnitus so any sleep that i can get i will take..so this whole waking up at 6 thing doesn't cut it for me since sometimes i don't get to sleep until 1-3 am. My mom also has to get ready in the morning AND my grandma since my grandparents sold their house and they are living with us until november. My nonno (grandfather) is retired so he gets to sleep in.

So I plan on going into school to change my sched. I think if is unfair that we don't get to choose our time slots on a first come first serve basis like universities do.

On a side note I am almost done this semester and I get 2 weeks off! I am going to B.C. to visit my dad and hopefully get a tan of some sort!

so..

I haven't been on in awhile. Sorry..I've been so overwhelmed with some probs that I haven't had much of a social life....
But i'm almost done school for the summer...YAY! I am going to be switching into Carleton U soon and I am very excited/scared lol...

On the plus side...i think i will decorate my ha with some pink rhinestones or something...i think it would give it sum oomph lol :)

I REALLY want to learn ASL ...this hearie at my work is learning it and i am sooo jealous! I don't know where to begin though..i have a tough time learning thigs on my own, and I would love totake a class but my sched us busy..is there anyway that i could learn online or get a cd for the comp? Is that ok to do or bad idea?If i can I would like to have ASL as my minor for university...
I had bad tinnitus the other day...it hasn't been like that in awhile and I noticed i've been having to turn my ha up and missing things and having to ask ppl to repeat..maybe it's time for another audiogram:( *sigh*

Ok so there has been a lot of talk on this forum that I frequently go to , All Deaf. You've maybe heard of it?...Anyways we've been discussing decorating your hearing aids/ci's when someone posted this! I highly doubt even a millionaire would get this ha! But some ppl like ALOT of style.... 24 Carat Gold Hearing aid w/Diamonds

What does everyone think?
In my opinion it is a waste of money!..I'd rather buy a new car or d/p on a house!
