To #blind people with experience with #PowerPoint, I need help! My school wants me to create a #presentation with speaker notes and graphics, and I'm having extreme trouble even getting started. My info text box with my name, school, and date covers everything up, and I can't figure out moving it or how to get to speaker notes. I normally create assignments with #LaTeX, but I kept running into issues making a presentation that way. I'm on #Windows using #NVDA. Disability services made this sound doable and even easy, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case.

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?

Today was the real start of my semester at UOW. I had a meeting with disability support to get everything in place, since I officially began yesterday. My first tutorial is at 3:30 this afternoon, followed by a lecture straight after. It feels good to be settling in and starting to find my rhythm.

I also contacted HumanWare about my Brailliant Braille display, which has been giving me some issues. Thankfully, it’s still under warranty, so I’ll be sending it off for repairs tomorrow. Fingers crossed it comes back in good shape!

Tonight’s dinner is chicken schnitzel with mashed potatoes and veggies, prepared by my husband, who is an absolutely brilliant cook. I feel very lucky.
