Here I Am Again
Oct. 16th, 2009 03:59 pmToday I find myself in a computer lab messing around with an iMac while Bradford is at work. I've come to realize that the mouse that Apple provides really annoys me. Perhaps this is because I am normally a PC user. I am used to the left click and right click and a better scroll wheel. I do, however, appreciate the fact that I can help my posture by sitting up instead of being slouched over the monitor. I wish these computers weren't so expensive. My typing speed has decreased because this keyboard doesn't feel solid to me. I'm hoping that I can find a way to get over these minor details. The other thing I am kind of iffy about is the way the zoom feature doesn't follow the cursor as I type. I have to continuously move my mouse in order to see what I'm typing. Sometimes this gets to me because I don't know when I'm making a spelling error until I reach it after typing it. OK - I'll stop my nit picking.
I rose late today. Bradford was actually the one to wake me up. You can't blame me for waking up late because his roommate was up late too. I got to eat a really good pita filled with gyro goodness. We attended a sketch comedy. Some of the scenes reminded me of when I was in "Selling Sex For Cash" at NIU.
Arizona weather makes my throat so dry. Bradford asked me if I would go to school here. I said yes, but only if the weather is 20 degrees cooler. So I'm a bad sport and hate the summer... Tomorrow bring s a day of hangage, swimming, and walking about. Tonight brings a tour of Mill Avenue and good food. I'm hoping to get an idea of life in AZ.
I leave early Sunday morning and arrive in Chicago at 12:30 PM. I'll take the El to Jefferson park and ride the Metra into my home town. I'll probably get home around 4 PM. Chicago weather excites me at this point. *smile* I can't resist the biting cold of the midwest. I do admit though that ASU is quite the school to be at.
While here, I continue to receive a lot of dog discrimination. This makes me incredibly angry and further makes me want to pursue a degree in public speaking. I feel that I am good at it. I feel that I can make a difference for dog handlers around the nation. I want to make it big and I want to be heard. No more of this bullshit will be tolerated. I am so SICK of people treating me like trash because I travel with a guide dog.
Speaking of the beast, Jim is peacefully snoring at my feet. The weather has been killer on his skin. I usually hate the summer months because Jim pants so much. This is another reason why I would never live in the south. Anyway, back to Jim dog He's ben a great guide and I am very impressed with his work. I realized that I do not need a new harness handle at all. I don't know if this information has already been shared on LJ. His work is fine. But I've noticed that the harness travels all over his back. He has no chest like a lab and he's quite narrow. He's already learned the route back to Bradfor'd place from various locations on campus. I don't even have to ask. It's like he already knows where I want to go. After I am finished using this computer, I will head back I know that Jim knows where he is going and I will be very impressed if we make it back to the apartment without getting lost. Jim dog is wonderful.. I just wish there was a way to keep him cool.
Hope all of you are having a wonderful weekend. Mine is just getting started and I'm excited for whatever will come next. If those of you are on LJ and also have a twitter, follow me if you have nothing better to do. My username is c_for_chaos . (What else would it be? *grin* )
