Look who has become a little slack at blogging. Me. I know. I know. But I've been so busy lately that I have barely had time to sleep, let alone sit down and write something insightful. BUt right now I'm genuinely upset and I really just want to vent.
I'm really struggling with one of my courses. I'm trying so hard with French but its just so hard to understand anything. Most, if not all, of you reading this know that I'm hearing impaired. I get through most of my lectures by lip reading. I'm pretty good with it as my grades reflect in all the rest of my courses. However in french I can't lip read. Its a foregin language and it just doesn't make sense. I get bits and pieces but i'm honestly screwed up and my prof is doing nothing to help me. 2/3 of my evalution is listening conprhension or dictee, both of which require heaving listening, most of it done on tape, which I have no prayer in understanding in a class room in english, so for french i'm royally screwed. I don't know what i'm going to do. I'm hovering at like a 50 now solely because of my reading and oral skills (haha I know oral skills) but what happens come exam time when i get a 10% dictee and I have no idea whats going on? this is really upsetting me and I knwo there is shit all I can do about it. I'd drop the course but I need it as a second language requirement for my BA :(
Other than that I should say that the Full Monty has been postponed until Feb 23-25. Everyone should definatly go. There were some casting issues that caused the delay but we've got it all figured out and we're ready to go. goooo see it. doo it. work has been good. keeping busy at the SVB, wanting ot tear my hair out at the Rec Centre. Winter Carnival Started last night so I'll be busy there for the next week or so. Still have two papers to write this week. woop woop.
best get to the books. do it up.
Peace and blessings.

A few questions that you can just get back to me on msn.
Are you registered with the Disability Office?
Does your Prof know you are impaired?
How do you do on non-oral exams?
I don't know how your school is structured, but if you say oh yah I can't hear a thing 2/3 of the way through of the grading period, you're SOL, if you are a week or two in the prof may be willing to do something to accomodate you.
