I hope you guys are having a great time over the holidays or had a good holiday if you've already returned to school/college/work!
I'm still on my holidays, counting 11 days until I start college again for A2 year. Honestly, I am rather bored myself and I would like to go back to college already!
I've got my results back for the AS and I'm rather pleased with it as I achieved full marks in Photography, and a B in Fine Art which I am very satisfied with, but since I unfortunately got an E in Business I am resitting. I was surprised though, as the second unit in Business I got an U which I did not expect at all and got a C in the first unit so it kind of saved me there. I do quite enjoy Business but it's not something I truly enjoy like Photography and Art. But I find Business to be extremely helpful to me as I wanted to learn how a business works so I would have basic knowledge when I go into work.
Over the summer holidays, I've been pretty much travelling to Nottingham to stay over at my boyfriend's, and few day outs with friends, especially to London with one of my close friends, it was fantastic although it was 27 degrees! Also, I went camping with old friends from London and went a bit of shopping.
Apart from that, I've managed to complete my college work which I'm finally relieved about.
I've noticed that I am getting used to the second implant as the headaches seemed to have gone away but I do get tired at the end of the day. I think this can also go away in few years' time once I get used to the implant... Hopefully!

Lost Motivation...
Hope you're all enjoying summer (with a bit of rain earlier...) but it was definitely sunny in my area today!
I just had my appointment in Nottingham yesterday, and my audiologist told me that I quite improved than last time which I am rather pleased with. Although, I do feel like it's been a slow progress between yesterday and 6 months ago. Right now, I'm now less tired with the second implant, I don't feel too worn out at the end of the day and I guess that's because I've not been in college and relaxing so I guess I feel more energetic. I'll have to find out when I return to college in September and compare then...
Speaking of this post's title... I've definitely lost motivation for summer college work. I rather miss working, and I'm rather sad that I can't get myself some motivation to actually finish the work, as I have two projects to work on: Fine Arts and Photography. At least I finished Business Studies work a few weeks ago! Slowly progressing... I can guarantee myself that I will have finished work when I return college because I can easily get paranoid when it comes to deadlines even though some students tend to hand in their work really late, which in fact in the previous academic year, I managed to complete work in every deadlines and not one student has completed that like me, which means I was the only student to keep on time... Oh well! It's enjoyment!
Enjoy the sun, guys while I try to avoid being tanned or sunburnt!

Progress & Driving Lessons
I've been busy with my A Level revision and coursework but for now I have finally completed my AS year at college! Also, I just recently been awarded two awards; The Most Deserving Student in Photography and Film Studies, which I am really pleased with. Also, being awarded meant prizes for me :P Because I was given TWO awards, I have £20 to spend in Boots, ooh la la.
At this point of time, I would say that I'm beginning to notice how I'm feeling drained out at the end of the day of wearing both implants. Taking off the second implant feels a lot better because it was like breathing out after holding your breath or, like finishing your jog run after 30 minutes because your legs are tired. It's just like that. I would probably guess that my mother's more determined for me to get used to the second implant but you have to understand that you need to be patient because sequential bilateral implant requires a massive period of time. I mean, massive. I feel like I've got more than three or four years to learn from the second implant. I still feel like it's the still the same since last few posts - high pitches. This is why I've stopped wearing the implant on weekends and on some days but I do wear it when I go out of the house because I feel more alert in the environment. Also, I will be having my hearing appointment again in few weeks and hopefully I'd have made a better progress that before.
I've just started my driving lessons and it's been four lessons now. My instructor has an experience with students with particular disabilities as well as his daughter, so he understands more. Although, he is trying to learn from my hearing so he could be more aware of how he is going to help me in learning to drive because obviously you can't really see him when you're driving. He does use a bit of gestures such as which way to go, and then he'd stop the car to show me diagrams on his iPad as teaching me different situations of driving. He has commented on how I'm progressing well, which I'm rather happy with. I've had him through my sister who's recently passed her test, so that is how I found him. If you're looking for a driving instructor with deaf awareness, visit the local government website as they have information on driving instructors for hearing impairment.
Till then!
