The Chronicles of Blindness

0636 I wake up for the sixth and final time this morning, as so prompted by my mother.
0649 I don my stunning airline-quality eye shade and am suddenly transformed into (dun dun dun...) BLIND-er-MAN!!! I stumble downstairs and prepare to leave for school.
0659 After running headlong into no fewer than four trees, I am convinced that ten years of walking to school is not enough for me to really know the way. My mother is merciful and drives the last two thirds of the way to school.
0702 I enter the choir room a bit late for choir practice. My coworker assures me that I need not take attendance this time and escorts me to my position.
0800 Choir is dismissed. I am extraordinarily relieved that I had previously memorized most of Vivaldi's Gloria.
0814 Interestingly enough, it took three of my female classmates to get me to Bible class.
0906 I fall asleep in class (much easier when my eyes are already closed and the teacher can't tell).
0937 I arrive at Chemistry class, escorted by Jon, but am once again a bit late.
0951 Sighs of relief are released when we realize that our quiz is postponed for the next day.
1101 Voice lesson! Mr. Flores is rather tickled at the idea of my blindness, and is pleased to find that I have my aria memorized (lucky me). My voice is interestingly enhanced by the lack of sight, or maybe it is only a placebo.
1204 Yep, sight reading piano music is basically impossible while blind.
1235 Hurrah for lunch! Dan leads me very well through the line. I get the typical BMA lunch: vegi-meat, veggies, and (wonder of wonders) salad!
1250 Wow. It's really hard to figure out where the food is on the plate.
1335 My coworker and fellow blind(wo)man, Adella, agrees with me that blindness and music department don't mix. That means no work. She leads me (seriously!) to the Leadership Department. She declines my ping-pong challenge.
1351 I exit the Leadership Department in search of the Ad building.
1425 After being hopelessly and helplessly lost for the last half hour, I find myself in the back of the Adventist Book Center, having no idea how I got there.
1625 I wake up on the floor of the Leadership Department. Apparently blindness promotes power naps.
1738 I find myself in Pastor Sergio's office, where I am being interrogated about how my day went. I describe the experience as "eye-opening."
1811 The blindfold is removed! I see the light! And I am blinded....
