(Originally written in my notebook)
In three weeks the fall semester will come to an end. I still hve some uncertancies in my classes. The loss of time I incured was much greater than I previously thought. Basically I was physically out for about a month and I’m still not 100%, mentally though it;s quite different. Only starting about a week and a half ago did my cognitive function straighted out again. I really don’t like to admit it, but my brains been shocked since the accident. Riding’s been interesting since then. I really was afraid when riding in rain recently. I wouldn’t go faster than 20km/hr when riding my bike. I finally road in the rain without fear yesterday. I went out and rode as if nothing was different and the only thing I thought about was “I need rain gear.” What it came down to was off the ritalin I was worse off than ever in terms of focusing. When on I was no better then when I was off beforehand. Part of me feels like I should’ve taken medical leave or at least a note from at least three different doctors but I didn’t because of pride. Pride that I was strong enough not to be affected.
Failed that huh.
