Since my last post

Well several things have happened in last few weeks. First I had my graduation ceremony, that was an interesting day... First I am so glad I didn't have to wear that hat and gown for more than 1 day, the hat fell off every 5 mins and the gown kept getting caught up in my chair. I sat on the side of the stage during the ceremony with my note taker, when my name was called I was suddenly terrified, which was then immortalised in a photo. You would not believe the queue for the professional photos it was endless, we were there for over an hour. Then on Saturday my family threw a party to celebrate my achievement, my note taker came and I had a wonderful time. I even got my favourite orange chocolate cake covered in sparkler candles, though I did have to blow out the candles twice as one of my Aunties missed it the first time. Also as you may know I have recently started the process to get an assistance dog to get ready for this I have been looking at electric wheelchairs and after testing it out I have decided to purchase the Quickie salsa m. Finally I went to visit dogs for the disabled in Banbury last Saturday it was a really beautiful place and everyone was really friendly. The whole event lasted about 2 hours and gave an overview of all aspects of the charity we even got to pet the dogs and a gorgeous little black Labrador puppy named Onyx. Now all I have to do is stay patient until the waiting list opens up again, wish me luck.
