Today I booked an appointment with the Student Advisers of my college to be for a tour, seeing as I was late for the open house they had and didn’t really get a chance to explore the school. During this tour I realized just how big and wide-spread the college really is, although the Student Adviser assured me that my classes would be in the same general area.

I wasn’t on this tour alone though, so I couldn’t really voice many of my questions about disability services. I suppose I’ll have to contact the disabilities office and book a seperate appointment. I’m also beginning to think I should meet with my new doctor at the new hospital long before I start school, that way I won’t miss any classes. Catching up in college would be a lot more difficult then catching up in high school. I find it slightly depressing that I don’t get to have an OT in college, I’m used to mine speaking for me and making sure that I have what I need in order to excell in school. I’m going to have to speak for myself here, and its slightly scary. I’m looking forward to being more independant, but it’s nerve racking at the same time because I’m afraid of leaving out something important or not being able to voice my concerns or needs loud enough to be heard.

Despite having to speak for myself and make sure I have what I need, I’m looking forward to college. It’s a new and exciting experience. I’ll be on my own for the first time (and who knows, maybe even the last). Plus theres always the exciting High Speed Wireless Internet to look forward to!
