Sorry

So I was busy last week and that is why I did not write in the blog. I did finish assignment number 8, so all I have to do is type it up and send it. I also have to take pictures of my braille labels and send those to my professor. That should not be that difficult though.

I am starting to get a little tired of the braille, but it will open doors for me. I know that. I will be able to listen to music and surf the web. I can not do this right now. I have to have voiceover on to do things. Once I know braille I can get a refreshable braille display and do to things at once. This is the main reason I want to learn braille. I want to be able to do more than one thing. I will write more later, but for now I am going to go. Later.

It Is Here

So my long time label maker is here. Yeah! I successfully made two labels and send them in like I was supposed to. It is really nice. The tape and it do not go together though. What is described on it and what I got are two different things. I got a newer and probably a nicer one then what is described. Not everything is different, but enough is. I will hopefully figure it all out.

It does take regular label maker tape, so when I run out I can just buy more. It came preloaded with a roll. There are also three extra rolls with it. Once I really get the hang of it, I will be golden. It will take some time though. I messed up the labels last night that I was trying to make. I thought I had the write letter ready and I had the letter next to it. Oh well, no one is perfect.

Hopefully this will help me to be more independent like I want to be. I will have to make sure stuff is in braille and print for others. The braille is great for me, but others need to know things too. I am so excited about it. Later.

Over Halfway

Well I am halfway through my braille lessons. There are ten of them and I am on number seven. I am still waiting for my label maker to come. As soon as I get it I need to label things and send it to my prof. Not a huge deal though. I am so happy with how I am doing with this. I am going through it faster then I thought I would. I will probably slow down greatly though with the next unit. It is un-contracted braille or grade 1 braille. It is where all the words are spelled out letter for letter. It makes me nervous and excited all at the same time. I have never gone this far before. It is learning another language. Now I will be able to speak and see what I am reading. I will write more next week. Later.
