[nabs-l] Preparing For The First Day Of School

[Kayla James]

I have been slowly packing my schoolbag for my first day on Monday at
my local community college. I have also been freaking out because I
don't know if I made the right degree choice, but decided if I hate my
classes I'm taking in the fall now, I can always change in the spring
semester. I have to schedule my bus tomorrow; oh, the joys of
Paratransit. I hope I have everything ready. I also have to program my
schedule into my phone. But, all in all, I am trying to get past the
nerves and get excited, but lately, I guess I've been on autopilot.
Sort of in the neutral zone. But I'm sure by tomorrow night, I'll be a
jumpy, nervous, excited wreck by then. Yay! First day of school.
BTW: this is the first school I've ever gone to where I am the only
blind student on campus. All my Christian NFB brother and sisters,
pray for me, please.
