Well we're on the last stretch now! We officially get our voices back in just under 28 hours! I can't wait!!!
One of the biggest lessons I have taken from this is that my voice and the way I usually communicate are central to who I am. I always had a reputation for being chatty and I have been described before as a great person to talk to, so I guess communication is my forte! No wondering about whether I'm in the right profession!
It was still embarrassing to hear myself on the radio - even if I was using a synthetic male voice at the time! You can catch it in the next 24 hours on the BBC Gloucestershire website by clicking on the "Listen again" tab by the Radio box near the top right of the page.
Bruce came and filmed us listening to it with the rest of the department, and afterwards he asked them some questions on what they thought of us doing this and how they thought we were doing and they all said really lovely things! It really cheered me up to hear them!
It's all go here at college with us breaking up tomorrow, the students had a Christmas show this morning and this afternoon is the Staff review - a sort of variety show by staff (and some students). It should be great to watch, especially as at least one of our communication aid-using students is taking part!
I'll add more later, for now, I'm off to watch something very entertaining!
