A Tale of Two Braillers

So on Monday, I returned a brailler. I was borrowing one from the local blind association. It was nice that I could borrow it. I was able to get a sense of how the new one worked. That is definitly not what I was going for, but it was a nice bonus. The driver came Monday and picked up the other one. Now I only have mine to deal with and not two of them. Not that they are huge, but it was annoying. They are heavy little suckers though. I am happy though, I no longer have to worry about the one I was borrowing. Thank goodness. I hate being responsible for others things. Now I am not and that makes me happy. I will write more next week. Later.

Brailler and Long Time No Write

Ok so I have not done anything with this for awhile. I have been busy. I just have been doing things and waiting for my good news.

I have been doing a correspondant course in braille. It has been tough, but I am doing it. I only have one more assignment to do in braille 3. I then have to wait till next year to go on to braille 4. There is a change in the braille I am learning and what they are changing to. Things are going to UEB, which is Unified English Braille. There are not a lot of changes, but enough. Arg. I am doing well in it. It is tough, but I am doing it. I decided that I should learn it since I am blind. I know that I heavily rely on my technology, but with the braille I will be able to do things without the technology.

So my good news is I have a brailler. A brailler is a braille typewriter. Each of the keys I use correspond to a different dot in the braille cell. I do so well with it because I have a good memory. I am learning a whole new language though. I am going to go for now, but I will write more often now.
