Headache

Hope this month's going okay for you.

Just recently, I've been experiencing headaches, and that made me forgot that I actually have had headaches for a while before that. But this time, it isn't so bad. It just kind of hurts for a few minutes and goes away or other times, it'd just hurt for an hour. I think it's still better than before, so I assume it's the high pitch kind of thing but I'll never know.

Honestly, I actually never expected headaches before I got the second implant. It was just because I've NEVER experienced headaches in my first implant since I was four, so I guess I was that blind back then. So it kind of disappointed me, but I know I'll get through somehow. It's just upsetting the fact that a second implant can jeopardize your whole hearing thing with just headaches because you were absolutely fine with the first implant, no pain at all. It's something I'll have to sort out but that's if I can just balance the time to figure a way of avoiding headaches and college work.

College has been a lot busy for me, but not long until I finish for the AS year, as apparently I finish in May, but if I'm wrong then it's June. I believe that the months since September had gone fast, it felt like I didn't live through those months.

FACT: Consider a second implantation carefully, not just benefits but also disadvantages.

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a great Christmas break, especially the freedom from all the hard work! I have to admit, I sure am a lacking student when I became too lazy to do my art homework. But it isn't so bad, all I need to do is take a couple of photos and that is all. So, I'm quite safe.

I had many great presents, as a lot of them were absolutely useful for me to use in my lifestyle, such as jogging clothing, and photography equipments. Also, few clothing that I found really nice, especially that cute puppy eared hoodie top!

So, this is a second year of my bilateral implant life. Let's hope there's more improvement, I really do hope so... What I aim to do for this year, is to start practising my new implant alone for ten minutes from the start daily, so my brain can learn the new sounds. And definitely get back to my jogging schedule, as it stopped since the operation and the GCSE's last year.

Things I am looking forward to this year, is definitely college, because every lessons come with new things to learn, it's just the best feeling. College is way better because they teach you a lot more new things that you have never heard of. However, I do feel less of a photographer because everyone knows me as an 'expert' in photography, but in Photography lessons, I so disagree with them. I never even knew about manual settings on a SLR... I've always used Automatic mode... Oh well, I will come out of college with many photography techniques and also in other subjects.

Also, I am hoping to catch up with more deaf friends as I've been so busy at college.

TIP: Please please please do your homework at the start of holidays...
