Todays activity

WOW, I don't know where to begin. I think I must have tried atleast 15 times, just because of a spelling mistake. I get soo overwhelmed, then my hands get all twisted up. Mentally I feel like I need to go to a Psych ward. I would start over just because I mispelled a word. I don't think my signing is horrible, but I know there is great room for improvement. Today was just one of those days where nothing was going right. I'm so excited to have a tutor, I just hope I don't frustrate her asking "again" all the time.

The first week of class has been pretty frightening, yet fun at the same time. When coming into this class I had a little bit of information about how intense this course could be. Never did I think I would experience it in the first week. There is so much to information, and our classes seem to fly by fast, so by the time I get the hang of it, its time to leave again. I'm a little overwhelmed to be honest. I want to learn it so fast, but I realize it takes time and practice. I've learned so much in the first week of classes. I've learned that sign language is not as easy as some people think it might be. I get confused on some words because somethings have the same hand gesture just a different movement. Do I feel comfortable signing...Yes and no. I feel comfortable when I'm at home signing away, practicing, talking to my family. But when I come here and see you and other students that have been in the program intimidates the crap out of me. It makes me nervous. I know..this is something I have to get over..people watching you all the time.
