CYBORG NOW

Labour Weekend
CYBORG NOW Last week, I was asked to visit the Open Polytechnic next week and I have just come to realisation that I have exactly 1 week. One week. This means I need to catch up on all my work before then… which is a lot. I have barely done any for a long time. Talk about pressure! Anyway, I have been keeping my head down and bum up most the weekend – I hope to finish an assignm...

October

Nucleus Freedom
CYBORG NOW Ok so, it was Christchurch time on Monday! Although I normally go by myself as it is just a day trip, they had booked me in for two appointments over two days so this time I took my sister with me.

Day 6
CYBORG NOW It's is now the sixth day wearing the Nucleus Freedom. The sounds are becoming a little clearer but they did say it will approx 2 weeks to get fully used to it.So far what I think of it... it's strange but great. I love it. I have noticed that even with the Everday programme, I notice the background noise a lot less than before - I hear more but they don't bother me a...
