[nabs-l] lions world

[Joshua Lester]

lolololol! The food is horible! It's always warm in the dorm rooms.
Yes, there's a curfue. Everyone has to relinquish their meds. The
piano in the salarium, (I'm a musician,) is out of tune. I hate old,
out-of-tune pianos! Someone kept breaking the rules. He smoked in his
dorm room. I didn't have a choice on whether I wanted a room mate or
not. I couldn't stand him, because he was always bragging about how
much alcohol he could consume. I went for an evaluation, in 2007. I
haven't attended a training center. I've received the mobility skills
in school, and received my endependent living skills at LWSB. I only
stayed 4 weeks. That's hw long an evaluation lasts. I made some
friends, but some of them, (including my room mate,) were nothing but
trouble. There are other places where he can get training without
going to that place. O yeah, and too many of the trainees, allowed
their guide dogs to run loose. I'm allergic to dogs.
Blessings, Joshua
