[nabs-l] Update on Compress Video Class

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Joshua,

Maybe you can call your instructor's office and see if you can 
get a hold of him that way.  Sometimes that's more effective than 
emailing, as the person on the other end of the phone has to talk 
to you since you're there, whereas he can just delete and ignore 
emails.  As for transportation, so your DS office won't let you 
ask another student for transportation? I understand their point, 
but with this janitor you don't have a choice! Unless they say 
"Absolutely not," I say still ask a student; someone you know and 
can trust to give you transportation and be responsible.  
Otherwise, how's public transportation and/or paratransit in your 
community? Do you have that option? What about a college shuttle? 
Good luck!

Chris

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National 
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)

Subject: [nabs-l] Update on Compress Video Class

Hi, it's Joshua Lester.
My compressed video class, starts tomorrow night.
I E-mailed my instructor, last wednesday, but he still hasn't 
responded.
I don't know what to think.
At least, I know one person, in the class, so far.
Hopefully, she can help me with this compressed video mess.
The only problem, is getting a ride home.
The disability service lady said, "students aren't responsible 
for
other students' transportation."
I don't have a problem with that statement, but the person they 
have,
to take me home, is the janitor.
He gets through, at 10 PM.
My class ends, at 9:20.
My mother's vision is getting bad, because of diabetes, so she 
can't
drive at night, and I'm not staying till 10, especially when I 
have
something to do, on Wednesdays.
Blessings, Joshua
