Hi Florence! I think your blog is fantastic! :) How are you finding year 8? I was just wondering is it difficult to play the violin with your eyesight problem? Congratulations on your passed exam by the way! Giovanna James yr 12.
I got another comment, but this was on my Google+ account.
this was from a year 12 student who I know reasonably well.
It is very hard to play the violin with my disability but we found ways to learn. I can remember the song that I'm supposed to play, and I play it experimenting which one sounds right or wrong. with the violin though if you put your finger in the wrong place you make the tune sound totally different this a struggle we are trying to over come.
I learn the piano by ear so I don't read music.
I sing in choir but if I know the song I don't need words to read and sing along to.
Me and my mum are going totake pictures of my daily life photoshop those pictures to make them look like what I see to help you guys understand more about my condition.

Thank you for a question
Hello Florence, I am an IB student. I wanted to know how you feel at school when you interact with new people. Do people usually accept your condition or do they think otherwise?
This was the question from an IB student.
This is my answer....
When I look at a person I have to look to the side of their face to see them . Some people take this the wrong way and think I am looking behind them, or even worse not listening to them!
Only today a new student who does not know about my eyes asked me why I was looking really closely at the paper they said " it looks like you want to go through the paper " . This upset me because I felt they were making fun of me.
In year 7 I really liked my class but when it was PE their were two students who always shouted at me when I did not catch the ball.
When I finally had the courage to tell a new student about my eyes they felt sorry for me , I don't like this because there is nothing they can do and I don't want sympathy. This is my normal life !
Thank you so much for the question , I hope I get more questions in the next few weeks .

OMG WHAT A DAY!!!!!!
Wow. What a week!
First of all I started rugby at school. I like rugby because its a fun and legal way of lashing anger out.
I have a lot of anger to lash out so I am hoping to do it on a saturday too.
I got my results back from my violin grade 3 exam. I PASSED!!!!!
I did bad on my sight reading I'm OK with this because lots of people find sight reading a hard part of the exam. Next year I'm going to practice a lot more.
I had my first piano lesson this year I'm going to learn all types of styles of music on piano. I'm learning by ear, not reading music.
Whilst I'm writing this I've got an ice pack on my knee because I was taking a stupid short cut to get to a takeaway pizza place (al taglio) and I didn't see a long dumb wire and I think you can guess. I tripped over it! Oops! But my Dad and his companion (Dan) followed and said they wouldn't of seen it too.
I have a few questions for my beautiful readers :
1: What do you think of this blog?
2: How can I improve it?
3: IB studnts ask any questions you want to be answered?
EXTRA UPDATES: I am going to the hospital on the 12th of November to check I am any worse we are going to take photos of the tests if we are allowed and we will post them.
We are going to also check my sister Elsie to see whether she has got it too.
Good luck doctors!! (She kicks)
Thanks and bye!!

what it looks like?
First of all before I start getting into details, I would like to say please post this on your accounts of whatever your media, and I would like to welcome the IB students from St Georges to this website.
I hope you find your answers on this subject here and if you have any questions to ask don't hesitate either comment below or ask your teacher to send it to my dad.
Now into the details.
The other day year 8 were on their trip to santa savera (the beach) and on our way back one boy on my bus stopped me and started to ask me some questions. I answered them of course but then I wondered whether anyone else wondered that to so I decided to do this.
So this blob I see it sort of looks 3D but isn't it also has little scribbles in it like a child just scribbled but inside the lines, and the weird thing is these scribbles move.
It doesn't have a certain colour it is like when I look at something white the blob is white. When I look at some thing red it's red etc.
Just wanted to say I am now 12 and I am in year 8.
