Another day, another video

In the first class today, we talked more from the book about some of the different things that we have to analyze and change in order to make the message we put out but equivalent and culturally appropriate. Again, we're reminded exactly how hard the entire process can be.
After we finished from the book, we basically had another ITP meeting, this one being extremely more structured, the way it should have been from the beginning. I'm glad that April is making the decisions right now since we obviously couldn't come up with anything as a group. Hopefully we will come together for the fundraiser and really make it work.
We watched another video today in the second class and had to write down what we got from it. The first time I watched it, I got some of the points, but I got so much more out of it the second time we got to see it. It would be nice to have that opportunity every time but there's no way that's going to happen in real life unfortunately.
So, yeah, Ruby's class scared me. I think it wouldn't have been so nerve-wracking if there would have been some sort of noise in the background. I get nervous when we sign for videos and things in class but at least there's someone talking for us to interpret. Every day there seems to be another challenge and it forces us to learn how to deal.
I recently found out a little more about my practicum and the more I think about it, the more I'm excited but nervous. There are so many things to do to get ready and I just hope that in the end, I can interpret to the best of my ability. I think we're going to learn so much while we're in practicum and I am excited, just getting over the nerves is the hard part...
