Monotone

Due to my Dyslexia I have a hard time reading, but you already knew that. Because of this, I am able to have my textbooks put in mp3 format which is great. Unfortunately, I get to listen to my computer talk at me for two hours each chapter in a very computerized voice. Generally I can handle it for just a limited time. The other day I made a comment about wishing that I could read. Let me enter a caveat here, I CAN read, it just takes me forever. A friend was over visiting and said that I should just go to a literacy camp. I was not happy about that comment. Just a year ago, that would have been funny, however, for some reason that is not funny anymore.

Email

The letter that I wrote several weeks ago to a dear friend grew it's own legs and I wrote a note directly to the former friend. I told him how much he meant to me over time and how much I still think about him. I have not heared back from him. This was my last effort to regain a relationship with him. I do miss him. I do care about him. As a sister told me, stop being the ex that won't go away. When you think about him, send happy thoughts his way. This is exactly what I am wanting to do. I can not keep living in the past. It is not healthy and I know it. I told my boss that I sent this email, and he said that I had to give him two weeks to respond. If I know this young man as I think that I know him, if it has not come yet, it is not coming. Quite frankly, I am ok even if a response does not come. I finally told him what I needed to tell him. Thank you everyone who has been supportive for me over the years though.

Letters

As of yesterday all of my letters of recommendation have been submitted for Graduate School. It has been an interesting road to getting all of them submitted. When I submitted my Graduate School application a few weeks ago I felt good about who I was having write my letters of recommendation for me. Two of the three were submitted quickly and I began worrying about the third. As I checked back it still was not there. I emailed the person whom I had asked and previously had agreed to write it asking if they had received the email explaining how to submit it and did not hear back. I then realized that perhaps it was time to ask someone else. I emailed another professor that night, by the next morning he had agreed to it. That day I called the graduate school office and got everything changed. Through the day we conversed via email and by the next day my last letter had been submitted. I am so grateful to everyone who agreed to write these letters on my behalf.

Projects

I mentioned a while back that I am working on photo portfolios for each of the guys that I work with. One of them is nearing completion and I am so excited about that. I can not wait for both of them to be finished. I am nearing the end of my hours. Things are coming along so much better now and we have a lot of the kinks worked out. In fact, many of the supervisors have noticed that I am apparently do such a good job that one of them has asked me to help with one of the people on her team. The same day that I learned this, I also learned that when my internship hours are completed they will be keeping me in the same position until I find another job.
