So I am only taking one class this quarter. I believe I've mentioned that before so if I have then I am repeating myself. If not, then there ya go. The class is ASL 2 {I am very much enjoying learning ASL} and it's already starting out to be a fun class.

Yesterday we started learning how to give directions. In order to properly learn, we had to know where stuff in the school was actually located so we went on a mini field trip. Now, imagine, if you will, a class full of students {about 27} lined up in a college hallway with the teacher standing in front of them. Now imagine how people react to this, except with the teacher and students signing to each other.

People freak out! Most people just walked in between, which is the right thing to do. Some students just stood there like a deer in headlights until the teacher had to stop teaching and wave them through. That was funny on it's own. However, there was this one girl ... I don't know what possessed her to react this way, but it was too funny! She literally squeaked then ran through us. Ran. Full on sprint in between us and the teacher. We all stopped, stared and laughed. The reaction that everyone had was like, "what the fuck just happened?" It was seriously funny watching how people reacted.

This week is good. It's mostly review from last quarter, but there's some new material: stuff that we didn't get to cover last quarter due to the snow. I am looking forward to next week when we start up with all new material. We'll be starting with family signs. I already know basics: mom, dad, son, daughter, husband, wife, etc. We'll be re-learning those along with extended family signs: cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. So I'm definitely excited for that.

Other than that, I'm incredibly broke. As in my bank account is very much negative. And I don't get paid until the 20th. Ah, this should be a very boring almost two weeks. Guess this will give me time to get ahead on homework. And also keep watching more episodes of Bones. Which, unfortunately, the procrastinator in me will probably prioritize above homework. Oh well. Old habits are hard to break.

Yeah, I guess that's it for now. How is everyone doing?

This made me think of a congo line.

I might have told you that sign language is cool, if I haven't, sign language is cool!

I think people generally are still gawking at others who are different from them. Some people make it really obvious, some people not so much and then you have people like the one who shrieked and ran.

I'm sorry to hear that you're broke.. My bank account balance making me reel too. I hope you'll be able to last till the 20th. I love watching Bones, I can rerun them so many times! I'm sure you'll get your homework done while watching Bones =)

Re: the packet they sent me said "How are you supposed to sleep comfortably? Most people still say they get the same sleep as if they were sleeping at home." I strongly disagree.
