dreadful beginning

Got up for class at 8...and I didn’t want to move-played some music and my getting dressed wasn’t too bad. Went to class and he read from a power point for 2 hours. I could have done this myself in my pajamas. SMH I can’t get the hang of this... I don’t know if American's have a form of ADD but I just couldn’t do it. We had a break for 10 mins and I wanted to leave.  Well during the break- this one lady in class asked me if I had went out last night..due to me being tired. I told her about the Guild so it's not like I went out for casual drinks and put myself in this predicament of being extremely tired.

After other's joined the convo and asked how was I adjusting? I told them that the food is very different and just seems to not have taste to me- they suggested trying Indian cuisine ( I'll give it a try- but it may be TOO MANY SPICES LOL)

After class as me and this guy (Michael) was walking out- he asked me what part of America I was from- he lived there for a while. He was really cool and he wants me to cook for him because he misses food from down south lol. It's so easy to make friends here I absolutely love it. We had a great convo and he even corrected my slang---I told him that I was bummed last night and UMMM APPARENTLY I cant use bummed because here it means something with your B U M.  OOPS -LOL

OHHH for Valentine’s Day or the weekend before rather I got invited to SPARKLE HEART. I joined the UCLAN/ Deaf BSL SOCIETY :) they are hosting an event and I can’t wait to show you guys pics (I'll prob do a slideshow or something)- I have to wear something sparkly and I HAVE SOMETHING IN MIND

  I am about to print of my ideas for my paper and take them to my teacher as I hear- he marks quite harshly. But in the meantime I have been thinking about my Gilman Follow up project. I need a couple of questions to ask random people.

I was thinking along the lines of what languages do you speak? Have you ever seen anyone communicate with their hands? Have you ever learned about picking up sign language? Do you know anyone that has a hearing impairment? I'm not sure as of yet but I have ran across lots of interesting things that I can put it in. Wednesday I will be going to a Sign Language Class and the teacher is big on DEAF AWARENESS. He gave me some information and I hope that I can work with him closely for the couple of months that I am here (fingers crossed)
