DAMNIT......WHY.....

well, as you can see from the title of this one......i haven't had a good day. as most of you know...I HAVE A LEARNING DISABILITY, not just one but 3. I have Dyslexia, Auditory Processing Disorders, and A.D.D.

there is no easy way to put this....sometimes just have rough days with my disability. i was sitting in class and the teacher's asst. who was directing the nutrition discussion started to tell us what we needed to do for the inclass work....well, i have a hard time with math .....and that is what we happened to do in our discussion. i was afraid to say that i needed help...well i just waited while everyone left so i could go talk to the T.A. and see what i can do.

my point is that...people like me have rough days. i absolutely hate dealing with this every single day of my life. i try to let my friends know about it...but they just don't understand. i know that they won't think different of me. i wish they could really understand what i go through. when i have days like this it hurts so bad some days i just feel like i am only 2 inches tall.

if i had a wish.....i wish that i could trade brains with just one person for one day to see what it would be like to read a text book in 2hrs. rather then 4 to 5 hrs. and do homework in half the time it takes me to do mine. that is what i would wish for if it was granted.

i know i have this problem for a reason (i just don't know why...yet) and i just have to trust.

but as of right now i just want to be upset and deal with it slowly. i really hate this....but at the same time i accept it.

before i say anything......check out the osu crew blog : http://okstatecrew.wordpress.com/


well, i had my 2nd day of crew practice this morning!!! Everyone ERGed, we had to get in a group of 4 or more and have a mine relay race. but first they showed us (the new-bes) the proper way to row! it was awesome, one of the guys that was on my team told me that i did really good for a first timer, hahaha! each person had to pull for 500 meters. after we got done there we went down to the corts to stretch, do an ab class and then a little more stretching.

it was a good morning!
