So I'm finally 18! Had a great birthday meal with my friend who also had her 21st birthday. It was funny to see us having two age birthdays up next to us. We've been friends since I moved in town from London, which I was in infants school whilst she was in juniors school next door. She is also deaf, and wears hearing aids on both ears.
College has been real crazy as I had short time to complete many projects for both Fine Arts and Photography, and I just had my photography exam! It went well, although a little more time on preparation work would've been nice... I've completed my photography course, so I have art and business to focus from now on. I have 15 hour art exam after Easter holidays, which I am looking forward because the photography exam wasn't pleasant as I was just sitting there, staring at my Mac laptop which is tiring! In art exam, I can just walk around and sort out materials so, I wouldn't be sitting around all day!
Talking about my bilateral implants... Honestly, I really don't think my second implant is really improving much... I don't know if it's just because of the amount of electrodes I have (they couldn't fit all of the electrodes in due to meningitis), or it's actually THAT slow... It's quite frustrating because I still can't rely on the implant yet, because I'd like to hear properly in the implant so I can rest my old implant to boost up my hearing on the left ear. In the new implant, it's still going in high pitches, so it tires me out. I still have that problem where if I wake up and put on the second implant straight away, I'd get headaches easily unless if I switch it on later and this is annoying because sometimes I forget to turn it on. It's harder than I thought about this process. But I guess I'll have to wait for few more years and see how it goes.
Happy Easter holidays, everyone!
