the gym, left and right and my numb tongue

i love going to the gym. i think i'd rather go by myself then with people. mostly because i'm one of those people that sweats easily. (tmi anyone?) and my face gets red. buuuut i also just like the alone time. i like being by myself sometimes to think. i have one of those brains that goes in about 12 different directions at once. but when i'm with myself it makes sense. sometimes, when i'm with other people, i can't remember what i was thinking about 2 seconds ago. 

part of the reason my thoughts go everywhere is because i have 2 learning disabilities, Dyslexia and Dysgraphia. the Dyslexia means that i have a hard time with writing and spelling and Dysgraphia means i flip numbers and letters and have a hard time tracking when i read, so i read up and down the lines. i really used to let it define me. and then last year, i pretty much chose to live my life like i wanted too. i started working harder in school, i get good grades, but i really have to try for them. i made the choice to duel enroll as a college student and high school student. i then also chose not to get any special help. so far, i think i like trying more by myself then being helped through everything. i think that i used to get more frustrated and held back the more people tried to help me. i know i can do this by myself now.

but when i'm trying to talk to other people, sometimes my brain messes with me. i get to far ahead of the conversation and confuse the other people.  i also have a really hard time with my lefts and rights. if you watch me you'll see me doing the "L" thing with my hands. haha.

but anyways, as much as i love being with my friends, i really like just being by myself. it's a lot quieter. i think i do my best thinking then.

there really isn't any point to this blog, but to say that 1) i like going to the gym 2) i have some learning disabilities 3) i can't tell my left from my right.

random fact:
salt and vinegar chips make my tongue go numb. but i still love them
hope you liked this short-ish post =]
