Time: 6:45 pm
Mood: Frustrated
For this exercise, I decided to go in a wheelchair from my dorm, Brandscomb, to my sorority meeting. What I soon realized is that I could not start the exercise in my actual dorm room because Scales (a section of dorms within Brandscomb where I reside) does not have an elevator. I [...]

A Chore

I had to do two simple things today: eat brunch and get my laundry started. I began my day at the help desk in Sarratt, where I would try to find out whether I could borrow a wheelchair from there; I planned to inquire and then come back to pick up the chair [...]
