Lanie,
I had time today to read some old messages.
I believe you said you dropped the course. But for next time, I have some 
ideas. It may not be what most NFB members would do, but I figure sometimes 
we have to use other's help. Why not see  a safe place to store your 
brailler and books at school? Then pick them up at the end of the day or 
week.  What I mean there is if your class is tuesday and thursday, pick the 
brailler up thursday.

I'd see if you can store the stuff in your professor's office, a locker if 
the school has them, or another office near your classroom. Explain that its 
taxing to haul them around campus.  A librarian offered to store my tape 
recording device with her; I use it to record readers. I didn't even ask 
her, she just offered, I declined politely as I was fine carrying it around. 
But it was nice of her to offer.

Ashley

Hi all.  I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on this.
I'm taking Calculus 2 in college and have to carry around several
Braille volumes so that I can keep up, a Brailler, my
BrailleNote, Braille paper, and an APH Graphing Aid for
Mathematics, all in a huge rolling bag.  I have reason to think
that all this is messing up my back.  I don't know how to lighten
the load, but I can't keep carrxing it.  I've already talked with
the Office for Students with Disabilities coordinator, but they
don't have any Braillers.  How do any others on this list who are
taking classes with huge Braille books and other things like this
do it? Do you use a large bag like I do? Any advice here would be
great! Thanks.
