I did it! Yes it has taken me a couple days since Tuesday to write my blog. I blame everything else, but we all know its really always our own fault, so in the end I blame myself. Yep my fault this has taken for ever. ..ANYWAYS this visual impairment experiment was incredibly interesting.

 I already wear glasses and feel weird sometimes for looking different than everyone else. But these masks made me feel even weirder (is that even a word?)! I cant describe the disequilibrium I felt but trying to do anything was incredibly difficult!!

I eventually got so upset I couldn't see through the tape so i took a breather (a ten minute nap) before trying to move on and do something else. Cooking wasn't any easier!! lets just say steam from the oven can get through tiny holes just as well as being completely exposed to it.

I think I came to understand that having such an important part of everyday life being taken away from you forces you to adjust. You cant just give up and say that its it i'm not doing life anymore! nope, doesn't
work that way... You still have to do all the important things, like going to the bathroom, or cook, or do homework (if you're a student). There seems to be many ways a person in such circumstances can adjust but one way that i found the easiest, was remembering where everything is, having it put in a place you know you can come back to. (I don't understand how blind people can move into new homes or houses, that would throw me off!!)
