Two weeks!?!

Where exactly did the spring break go? It was nice to have a break to just clear the mind for a while, even though that doesn't take me very long to do sometimes. A week can feel like an eternity though, too. I feel like I haven't signed anything in forever. I really feel like I need to pull out some more of our old books or at least the consecutive and simultaneous dvds that let us practice interpreting for people. I'm so nervous when we do interpreting for the most part in class but I feel like I need it. Practicum is two weeks around the corner...yeah, two weeks. By the way, how did that happen!?!

So today's class...we watched a video that discussed some things with Deaf culture. It was pretty interesting and was a review of some things that we haven't outright discussed for a while. It's important for us to remember all the culture portions of the interpretation and the situations we're going to be going into. Another part of that was kind of in Ruby's class today, too. Our video in there was about storytelling and as we watched those, you could see the attention to details and the expressions when telling a story to someone. I think my receptives are still improving, which I'm glad of because then I'm not just staying the same. There are still a ton of little things that come up though that I don't comprehend or just don't catch sometimes when they're signed. The same goes for vocabulary though. There are always little signs that we are used to seeing one way but can represent various words. Where was a thesaurus today when we needed one?
