Break is Over...

Hey guys!
I just wanted to hop on here to give you guys an update about the past few days. It has been a crazy week for me and looks like it is only going to get crazier this weekend. I started my classes back at Southern New Hampshire University this Monday where I am starting my applied history and perspectives of natural science courses. I will be doing these two courses for the next eight weeks and let me tell you they are going to require a lot of downtime for research! If anyone knows me, you know that I absolutely hate research with a passion. It is completely fine when it is something that I am researching on my own but being forced to do research is something that I absolutely hate, especially when it’s on a subject that I don’t find particularly interesting. I want everyone to wish me luck!
I have started on a list of videos that I want to do for my YouTube channel and I’m hoping to get them done pretty soon as long as my schoolwork does not take up a lot of my time. Some of the videos include giving an update about my accident and the story behind my spinal cord injury, my mother’s death, my morning routine, and a few tips that I have learned in order to live more independently. When I do the tips video I plan on creating a blog to go along with it so keep that in mind when checking back from new blogs.
This weekend there is going to be some bad weather coming towards Louisiana that is most likely going to produce tornadoes. The small community in which my house resides has been struck by four or five tornadoes within the last few years. I basically live in the small tornado alley of my town so I am a little worried about the weather this coming weekend. I will not be alone I will have my cousin and her three kids here with me thank the goodness.
I have also started to notice that the gap in my front teeth has begun to get larger rather than smaller like normal, that is due to having some of my teeth removed about two years ago. I have decided to try and get invisible aligners to fix my gap. After I have gotten my teeth where they need to be I will simply wear a retainer in order to keep them where they need to be. When I do my impression kit I will share the pictures with you all so that you can see where my teeth start out and once I have my smile where I wanted to go I will also share my results. I don’t know if the company that I have used is going to work for me yet so I don’t want to share anything about them until I know that they were able to do my teeth. In the quiz it asked multiple questions but did not ask anything about having missing teeth. So it is a possibility that I am not qualified for this company but after doing much research I have found a company that asked questions about missing teeth and I was qualified. Keep your fingers crossed!
