I am aware that the last blog post was in October and for people who are excited to read what I have to say, I am sorry for the massive delay. The only way for me to start actively writing on a regular basis, though is by posting more than just my writing, but for my first post, I thought the first way to start off is by telling everyone what has been going on.
As some of my viewers may know, I went to University to take Psychology 100; I also took Adult Basic Education English 041 which is the equivalent to grade 11 so now the journey continues at University where I am taking Child Development Psychology and Human Geography which should be very interesting. Since I have a bad memory, you could imagine that Psyc would be a pretty hard course for me to have taken, but as people have said to me in the past, nothing is easy in life and I know that from experience. As for English, the same principal applies for me where I have to work my ass off to get good marks. My goal for this term is to finish my English 12, getting a B or an A- and that alone is going to be tough for me but I am striving to work hard trying to achieve it but it's proving to be difficult for me to do as my reading comprehension is not that great.
I am still playing PowerChair Football (formally known as power soccer). I have been able to get a different wheelchair specifically for PowerChair Football which is not the best soccer chair out there anymore. If someone has between $7000 and $9000, they can get the top of the line soccer chair which is called the strikeforce chair which is able to perform at an international level. According to people that I am/have been speaking with down in the states, whoever does not have a strikeforce chair won't be on the American team going to the next world cup in 2015. My soccer chair has put me out about $3000 so far and I have just one more essential upgrade that I am waiting on which is hopefully being developed and that is the motors. I think the motors I have are pretty good but when I go play with people who have the strike force chairs that have better motors, I do see a difference
As for moving out on my own, I am so excited and can't wait for this opportunity. I was supposed to move in January but there was a "disaster" (fire) in the place they were going to offer me, so my vacancy was delayed. As some may know, I am pretty impulsive and don't like to wait for things so I have been finding this to be difficult to deal with but it will be surreal when it finally happens and since I got pretty much all I need besides a sofa and some tables, I would consider myself to be pretty set for when I move in. Depending on my finances, people may have to bring their own lawn chairs for when they come over...haha; I actually don't think that will happen but keep it in mind. They have said to me that a place will be available in the "spring" months so it should be soon.
