I haven't been blogging lately due to Tumblr. It's as addictive as any social media. If that sounds bad, it's because it is. I tried to give up Tumblr for Lent, then I thought I'd limit myself to 30 minutes a day, but I haven't been keeping track of the time I spend on Tumblr at all. Hours are wasted. Productivity is postponed to a later date or lost to oblivion. Today I have promised myself that I will NOT get on Tumblr at all.
Here's some exciting news: I'm going to London over spring break! I'm so excited! I'll be sure to post pictures (none of myself, but plenty of the sights/adventures). I'll be doing lots of Doctor Who and Sherlock things as well as all the usual tourist activities. Any suggestions you may have are welcome! I'm hoping to find a police box. ;-)
Vision update (if you're just here for the fun stuff you can skip this paragraph): I appear to have lost about half of my peripheral vision in my right eye. That seems like a lot, but I didn't have much in the first place anyway, so it really isn't that much. I haven't had it officially tested- I'm getting a peripheral vision test in December- but I'm pretty sure that that vision is actually gone. I can still see light in the area I lost, but not shapes or colors. I'm planning on going to the Colorado School for the Blind program this summer to learn how to be independent without vision! (I was already planning this before my vision change, it's just starting to be official.) It's 8 weeks long, so it will pretty much take up the whole summer break. I've never been that far away from home alone, and certainly never for that long. I think it will be a great opportunity to learn some independence and general life skills, and also to meet other teens my age with similar vision problems.
I promise I'll try to start blogging more regularly. I just need to stop trying to solve writer's block with Tumblr- it gives the illusion of productivity when all I'm doing is wasting time.
Until next time,
Semper Fidelis
I, too, have been experiencing writer's block... It was just today that I posted again on my blog! However, my writer's block was not caused by Tumblr, it was caused by the simple inability to write anything creative. :P I hope you have a great time at the Colorado School for the Blind, and that you learn lots of new, helpful, "stuff".
ReplyDeleteI want tons of pictures from London!! Let's see... Doctor Who... well, definitely search for a Tardis! Look out for mannequins, they can come to life and attack you. And if you see a statue of an angel ANYWHERE, back away slowly without looking away from it... don't even blink!!!!
