What's wrong with me?
Does anyone truly care?
Who do people think I am?
Why does it always seem like everything is crashing in around me?
I'm in a bit of a weird mood if you can't tell by reading that. At times I really just don't want to be me anymore... don't want to be here anymore... just wish everything could be different...
Expectations are a bad thing. I guess, in my stupidity, I expecting this semester to somehow be different than the last few that left me with many days and nights of sadness, depression, and questioning a lot of stuff/people. This is a large reason my profile says I need new friends. It isn't a joke in anyway, I really do need new friends. I need some different people. I enjoy my friends I'm with a lot, but I really need a break here and there-- preferably not sitting in my room alone. I'm not much of a loner-- it just leaves me depressed (hence this rather cheery note).
I'm not very confident right now... either people won't like me enough to stick around or maybe they are just better off not knowing me. I know thats not true, but still goes through my mind at times....
Enough depressing thought. I'm going to go do something..... probably just sleep, but anything besides sitting here thinking more is probably better for me! hahah. Sorry for the depressing note, I just needed to get some stuff out so it wasn't just bouncing around in my head anymore. | | |
| Every spring a group of sign language students interested in majoring in Sign Language and eventually becoming Sign Language interpreters go through an application process. Paper work, audiogram, recommendations, transcripts, required pre-reqs, and an interview. 15 of these applicants are accepted every year into the Sign Language Interpreting Program. This spring I applied and yesterday I found out I am one of those 15!!!!!! So exciting!!!! I love sign language and the idea of being able to help in that way, excites me!!! Also I can be a doctor (assuming that major and grad school all go as planned) to the deaf and be able to communicate directly, and not through other people. I can personally discuss whats needed rather than dealing with a third-party. My teachers who are deaf told me how great they personally would feel if that happened to them... So, I'm super excited! God is working everything out in this area, and I really really enjoy it! YIPPEE FOR SIGN LANGUAGE!!!!! It isn't everyone's cup of tea, I suppose, but I think you guys should give it a try. It is always good to know a few phrases in various languages common to the US.. Sign language is probably one of the least well know common languages in America....
Little disclaimer... common misconception- American Sign Language (ASL) is not the same as English!!! It is a language completely of its own.. You can do signed English that is translating English into signs in English order and with a lot of English grammar. ASL is a language of its own and it is amazing to learn about, as well as the deaf culture and history! Just thought I'd throw that out there.. =)

| ALMOST OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This week is finals week.. Fingerspelling Final Wed, Genetics (Biology) Thurs, and American Sign 2 on Friday. =) The two sign language finals won't be too bad. Just need to review vocabulary and practice fingerspelling.. Biology I need to organize all my notes, print out some supplemental info and diagrams, etc.. get everything organized and mark major topics. My Biology exam is open notes and book, but it makes me nervous cuz she could make it really really hard. I think I'm going to mainly work on sign today and make sure I have all the bio notes I need (I missed a day or two).. I don't have a lot of motivation today... Hopefully I'll get everything organized well and feel prepared for Thursday... I'll be happy to have finals over with!!!
