  1. This week, while trying to catch up on schoolwork, I've been discovering all the things that put my body into nap mode, and wow, it’s a lot. Pillows, recliner angles, even kicking my feet up can flip the switch from "study" to "sleep."
    It's been like running my own ergonomic lab this week, testing what keeps me awake vs. what puts me to sleep.
    Turns out I focus way better with my feet supported, but that's tricky when you’re short and most setups aren't built for you. Fully kicking my feet up feels nice… until I wake up two hours later wondering what happened.
    I can't tell you how many hours I've lost to nap mode when I was trying to study, but maybe now that won't happen anymore.

  2. I'm very happy to share that on October 6, I’ll be returning to school at Colorado Christian University Online! It’s been a long road of recovery from a medication that nearly killed me, but my mom and I have decided that I’m well enough to go back. My next class is an introduction to the New Testament, which should be really interesting.

    I have a question for other #blind #students or anyone who regularly reads #EPUB books:

    I'm trying to find the most accessible way to read EPUBs on my #Windows PC, since that’s the format my textbooks are usually provided in.

    • What app do you use to read EPUBs on Windows, and why?
    • Are there any other apps you consider essential as a student?
