dog what else
I'm making a doctor's apt tomorrow, so after this, the papers for my dog applications will be done. I just emailed TSE saying I'm glad Zorro gained weight and I was wondering if he made it through retraining or if he retired? I wonder if/when they will tell me to mind my own business and it isn't my problem anymore. It's not like I think about it constantly; I'm so busy with many other things, but I wonder how he's doing, and I want some sort of closure instead of always thinking did he make it to work again or is he just hanging out all day as someone's friend?
I also emailed Valerie's people. We email every two or three months or so for updates, and in Feb, Leeann said they could bring her to visit when it got warmer. It is awesome outside, and I'm out of here in 27 more days. I haven't seen Valerie since January 2008, so I really want to see her.
I've decided I want to take off the fall 2010 semester and go for blindness training after the semester is over in the spring. That will give me almost 8 months at a center, so I figure that should be enugh. I was looking at internships in D.C. an other places, and thinking about traveling there scares me, so I decided it's about time. People have been tryinging to convince me since high school, but I always come to a decision in my own time. I have heard all of the reasons why I should go, but it is personal because of job and travel opportunities that I would like to take advantage of in the future. I want to go to the Chris Cole center in Texas. The training is like the NFB centers, but you get to have the dog for half of the day, so the dog is only alone for four hours or so.
I really do/can write about stuff that is non-blindness related. Tomorrow I'll be in the Spectrum lab for like 12 hours finishing the magazine. I turned in my research methods population, sampling method, and explanations, and I'm hoping I did well. I'm going to talk to Dr. Feldhaus about Sociology and get it officially done that I am a sociology major; after next semester, I'll have 24 soc credits!!! If you pray or send good thoughts, please do for my friend Autumn's grandmother. She found out today that she has breast cancer; she is going into the hospital for removal and treatment for a couple of weeks and might have to be on chemo medicine for a year. Kay wrote sentences today, and she is finally using and remembering her contractions!!!! After that, we played tic-tac toe and dominos, which I lost both times. She was delighted and laughed because I lost. The cat flopped down in the middle of the domino board and Ellen, Kay's baby sister, sat on me.
