Oh boy, well this week hasn't been too bad off. The first day back, we had two killer tests, but we had been away for awhile, so we'll see. It started snowing, so its cold as crap, and I think my memory is at a permanent brain freeze. In one class were doing simultaneous signing...WOW. I thought consecutive was difficult. My brain completely froze, but after about the third time, I was getting into the swing of things. One more day and the week is over. One more week and the semester is OVER!!!!! WHEW-HEW

The last week before Thanksgiving break, one word to sum it all up...Hell. It was a pretty stressful week, dealing with the baseball video for as long as we all did, I think gave us all nightmares. After completion, I don't think I ever want to explain baseball again. It did though, help me to gloss better, and understand the expansions, so all the time in it, was worth it. The week of break was well needed. I didn't get the rest I wanted, but it was enough time for me to catch up on things, well, other than blogging. : ). I can't seem to remember to blog for the life of me, but those who know me, know my memory isn't one of my best qualities. Well, excited to see how the rest of this week ends up. First day back there was 2 test, so were def. on a roll...Hmm

OK, now that I think I'm caught up on my time, here we go. This week was just nuts. Me and the other students tried our hardest to get the baseball video completed, but all jokes aside...That assignment was hard. Glossing is something I hope I never have to do again. I do have to day though, it did help me understand the ASL structure, and expansions better. Ms. April informed us it was going to be tough from now to here on out, but my goodness, she has me a little scared. I know I can do this, its just doing it. I guess being a perfectionist isn't the best when it comes to being a interpreter. All I can do is try my hardest, and work to the best of my ability. I will succeed in this...

I think I'm a week behind. I'm so cumfuckled it not funny. Things have been so crazy, from being busy at home, to the flippin baseball C.D, we been working on in class, I don't know what end is up. Class is getting pretty intense, I love how blunt my instructor is though. I want all the constructed criticism it takes for me till I get this perfected. I feel like my vocab is getting stronger, but my memory is my biggest issue, I'ma have to take some type of medicine before this course is over to strengthen my memory..Ahhh

10th week

This week was not bad. I'm blogging on time..YEAH!!! I think I made it on time all week, and even beat a couple of the girls to class. : ). Class wasn't bad, other than glossing the softball piece, and its not that its too hard, just trying to be as Persis as you can, can be difficult at times. I think I'm definitely improving on my skills, but have a lot more to go. It just takes time and practice. When doing a homework assignment, I was very pleased with myself with figuring out the interpretation, so my receptive skills are getting better. So, I am getting more confident in myself, I need to just do it!!!

7th week!!

FINALLY!!! I am blogging on the week that I'm supposed to. This week wasn't too bad. I was running late the beginning of the week, but seemed to get it together throughout. It sucks working midnights sometimes. Anywho.. We worked a lot on vocabulary this week. I think both instructers knew we were all in need of some practice. It was nice though, having a game of signing, it took the edge off. A lot of it was refresher to me, and some were just common sense. The further we get into the program the better I'm feeling. Again, I just need to relax and have fun.

Sixth Week

WOW, where did the fifth week go. I completely forgot to blog and I'm still running late on the 6th week. I did better on my interpretation on our video, and the constructive criticism really helped. When Ms.April pulled me into the office and we looked over my video, needless to say we had a hoot. I tried signing scared three times, thank God by the third time I got it. I'm beginning to feel more confident and understanding that I'm aloud to mess up. It felt good to see my grade higher than the last. My goal now, is to keep on working as hard if not harder to be the best I can be.

Fourth Week In!!

Well, as you can see, I'm having one heck of a time keeping up with my post on blog. Other than that, things are going pretty good. I feel like I'm getting better with my skills, but I know more practice won't hurt. I am my worst enemy when it comes to our videos, because I automatically set myself up for failure. I need to learn to be confident, and JUST DO IT....I know it will come. My goal is to stay positive. A little birdie told us that we wouldn't be here if she didn't think we couldn't do it. So, that made me realize I can do this!!

3rd week In!!

This week wasn't too bad, it was a short week due to the Labor Day holiday, so things went a little fast. We had our first test in Ms.Rubys class, so of course I freaked out, but think I did o.k. I feel like I've improved a little, my confidence level hasn't changed though. I just need to learn to relax, and let it flow, but being a perfectionist sucks sometimes when it comes to this course. I need to realize its OK to make mistakes, were not always going to get it the first try. But, at the very least, I'm finally startin to get into the gist of things.

2nd week in!!

This week was long. The beginning of the week didn't start out too bad, but by the time Wednesday was here, I couldn't get myself to concentrate. I was listening in class and understanding, I just felt like there was a cloud over me. Maybe it was because, Friday was our first test, and I was turning the big 3-0. I don't know which was freaking me out more. So, needless to say....the weekend couldn't get here fast enough! In the end, our test wasn't so bad, and thank God our instructor allowed us time, and helped us out 100%!!! I love having instructors that are down to Earth and wants their students to succeed. My goal for the next week is getting myself organized as best I can. Once I get that comoplete, I should be on a roll.....I hope : )

The First Week Back!!!

Thank God Its Friday!!! No, I'm just kidding...the first week back wasn't as bad as I thought. It was a little overwhelming at first, but now I think I'm starting to get the swing of things. Just getting to know your instructors, and making sure you have the proper materials for all your classes can be stressful at times. I'm excited to jump into the ITP program, but still have a couple butterflies in my stomach. I need to have faith in myself, and know that I can do this. I think that if we all work together, and not against one another, we will all have a wonderful year!! Yes, there wil be times where we all get a little clustered...but we're all human and aloud to make mistakes. I think that if we think positive as a whole class, it'll be a great year!!!!
