I started being blind by setting a timer to ring after an
hour. Afterwards I blindfolded myself. I went around the house trying to feel
all the walls and furniture without hurting myself or destroying anything but I
eventually ruined the arrangement of a Sylvania set made by my little sister.
When I went out in the kitchen, my cat begged for food. It was quite hard to
give him the right amount of food without spilling but I managed. Because of my
lack of vision the only thing could do on my computer was to hear music.
Because I was unable to choose which songs I wanted to hear it became pretty
boring after a while. On the bright side: you could hear all the details in the
music much better than if it had been under normal circumstances. Afterwards I
tried to walk into the living room because I wanted to watch TV. I somehow
ended up in the other end of the room than the one I had headed for. After
finally finding the sofa, I stumbled upon another problem. I had no idea where
the TV remote were. After I feverishly looked after it in over 10 minutes, I
finally stumbled on it in the sofa. Unfortunately, it was quite boring to watch
TV when I couldn’t see anything. I really wanted to read something but it was
obviously impossible to do so. I therefore decided to hear music until the hour
has passed. I was extremely bored because my blindness gave me so many limits.
I was also pretty thirsty but I couldn’t make tea because I was really scared
that I would spill hot water and thereby burn myself. I was really pleased when
the clock rang.
