Friday LAST DAY

I cried today like thats anything new. haha... i really don't know why i think my nerves have gotten the best of me. i am really excited yet nervous on the other hand. not sure what to do next or what steps to take next. i am really thankful for the program. i know yes, of course there could be improvements as if any other year, such as last class education can definately be on line. and put something educationally hands on there. love that you're adding lab next year good for new interpreting students. you know we all pick on the blue book, but most of the information that i have learned and use come from both blue and red book. i know that if not for the program i wouldn't be as improved. i ran into a deaf woman today(this is past frid) and i knew her like ten years ago, because she knew my mom, anyway, she said wow, you've really improved you weren't this good last time i saw you. wow, that made me feel good. so see april, you are teaching something because for someone Deaf to notice, means something. but anyway, rachel is staying with me for practicum, interesting. I haven't had a roomate before just a husband, at least she doesnt require anything from me. hahaha anyway, its tues, practicm so far has been interesting seen different modes of communication used between the students and then with the interpreters. I am enjoying watching and learning and hopefull understanding or picking up more asl structure and receptives. wow, i feel so insignificant compared to the interpreters we are observing, but they are very considerate and reaffirming that once they were in our shoes and on our level and have grown with experience. How refreshing. because apparently we think everyone was just born skilled interpreters...hint hint april. haha. its been a hoot with rachel, all i can say is we have alot more bloopers to post and alost more funny things so definately stay tuned. I have lost my voice within 24 hrs of starting practicum and spent most of my night the frist day of practicum in the bathroom with the runs....you know what mean...massive runny poops. so now i am voiceless and poopless. hahaha. at least rachel doesnt have to listen to me...hahaha or robert listen to me nagging good for them...God answered their prayers.
