Was a HUGE success!
Got to uni, found the room I needed with a bit of searching, met some other people on my course, who were all lovely.
Had an ice breaker session and got to know some more people, and then after a break went through the induction itinerary (hmm maybe shouldn't say induction on a parenting site lol you know what I mean!) and a bit more about our field trip next month. Spoke to the course leader, wanted to make sure my support was all OK. "Oh I'm in Room Z all afternoon, pop up and we'll have a chat."
So I did.
I had a copy of my assessment report because I thought it might not have got to him yet (surprise surprise it hadn't!) went through that, he's got no worries about me being on the course and says that I've got to tell them if there's a problem. And now ^proud moment^
If I complete my degree, I will be the first person with a visual impairment EVER to complete a Media Production degree at the uni, in the 10 years the course has been running. How cool is that?
The relief I felt when I knew everything was gonna be fine was immense! I've just got to learn how to get from one bit of the campus to the other, and tell those that I'm friendly with that if I don't wave to them across a road or whatever, or I can't meet them because I don't know where they are, that I'm not being "off" with them, it's part of the sight issues.
I'm going to tell them that I am disabled. Because hey, that's part of me, if they don't like it they can go away!
Ladies, I think I'm gonna be just fine!
