Well, if you can still defend them, that seems to be a good sign. It's sad to think that Laurie is like that. She's always been so nice to me when I've talked to her. Makes me wonder now what may have been written down when I informed them I was holding off on the home interview until I can get my hearing checked out further. Can't remember if you were on the list when I initially mentioned this.
My kidney doctor, unlike the ENT who didn't care, said there may be something coating my eardrum causing my hearing issues. I'm going to try treatment for it this week to see if things improve, but if not, then I may need to focus more on a school which can help out more where the hearing is concerned. This scares me to no end. I know I'm not exactly a safe traveller, especially in new situations, and there's nothing I can do about it as long as my hearing shows normal when it does not feel that way to me. No amount of O&M can change this because I know what to do. I just can't do it properly with my ears picking things up totally differently than what they should be. So this is why I'm considering other schools.
I've noticed you haven't posted lately, but I just figured you were busy and not that you had unsubscribed. Actually, I only mentioned the other schools thing yesterday. Some people have suggested I look into GEB, GDF or Leader Dogs. I'm not fond of the latter school because of various things I've heard, but perhaps they've turned around. If the O&M instructor in Atlanta allowed them to come to the center to give a presentation, that says a lot. He won't tell clients which schools to or not to go to, but it's obvious if you mention a certain school how he feels about it. Mention Southeastern or Pilot, and watch his reaction. Ha.
As for not judging, it's no problem. It's your journal. You have the right to write anything in it you want, regardless of what other people think. If you feel whiny, be whiny! If not, cool. :) I've been very bad about keeping up with my own journal and haven't even written anything for my own viewing lately, though there have been many times this semester where that could have happened. I've been everything from happy to frustrated at various events, and really, I should write more rather than keeping it in and building stress levels especially since I am not the greatest at managing stress.
