Hello Blog Readers,
I wanted
to let you all know that I am alive and haven’t forgotten about you. I moved from Central New York to back college
in Nashville, TN two weeks ago to start my fall semester. I was required to be back at college a month
before classes officially start for pre-student teaching business. Since I have been back free time has been
going at a premium but I finally feel settled enough to tap away on the blog
for awhile.
I
thought that I was struggling with a serious case of writer’s block. Even though I’ve spent hours trying to figure
out what this next entry in the WD should be about I felt uninspired. I tend to get lost in my own head at
times. See, I’ve been under the delusion
that every entry has to revolve around something to do with my handicap, after
all the blog is titled The Wheel Deal. It
took a verbal reality slap upside the head from my friend to realize that The
WD isn’t about how my disability effects my life, it’s about how I go through
life normally even though I am physically challenged.
Now that
I’m finally settled in here at school I hope to find my writing groove again. I’m a creature of habit, without routine I’m
lost. It takes awhile to adjust to a new
place, even though I’ve lived in this same dorm room three years prior. I feel like a grown up living here myself (no
one else has moved in so it hardly feels like a real dorm), going to work every
morning (student teaching), and making all my own meals and such. It’s a good feeling but each day is still a
learning experience. Since I’m going to
be a teacher though I’m pretty down with the whole learning thing. Learning is good. Life is good.
My life is great.
