Today was abnormally busy for a Thursday. Which sort of sucked, but was fun, but at this moment it sucks, because I'm so exhausted. I'm almost there. I just have to make it to tomorrow. You know what really sucks? Even once I make it past tomorrow, and this weekend, everything just starts all over again the next week. College is such a pain in my but. I wish I could just take ASL classes all the time, and not have to worry about anything else. I got to go to DESA tonight, and I had so much fun. James' little boys were there, and one of them, who was three,was signing so amazingly!!! Me and Jon just kept talking about it, and kept getting him to sign for us. It was amazing. :] It was so cute too. His tiny little hands making all the shapes, and communicating with everyone there, even though he was deaf. I was so impressed. I love going to DESA stuff. It is so cool. You can tell that some of the people there feel really awkward, and don't like the silence. But I love it. I love that you have to stomp the ground to get someone's attention, or flick a light, or even throw something at them. I like that all you can hear are the random sounds of hands brushing against one another, occasional claps, and exasperated sounds as we communicate in a completely muted language. I was talking to Tracy, my deaf friend, and she was telling me how all her roommates wanter her to go to Enrichment instead of DESA, but she says she never has any fun with them. The girls just talk and talk and talk, and even though she can talk, and has a hearing aid, it is so hard for her to keep up with them, and be included in the conversation. Even her roommate who does know sign, rarely signs to her in public places. It is so sad. So she was saying she told them she would rather go to DESA where she can turn her voice off, and just talk with people who understand. I told her I felt the same way, and I could hear the girls!! Then we were joking about how annoying they are, and she was telling me, that without sound, girls look really silly when we talk. Haha I can only imagine. After a while, Jon and a Grad Student named Nate came and were just talking with me and Tracy. I was so amazed with myself, that I was like actually communicating with these people. I impressed myself, and Jon was impressed too. It's so cool. :] The Halloween Party is next week, and I'm so excited!! It will be a blast. :] I have so much to do still, and am very stressed about this Bio Exam. I cannot wait until it is all over. I'm maybe hanging out with Drew tomorrow, we will see. Kevin, and Zane, (both from my English presentation group) were texting me today. When we worked on our project in the Library, I was wayy on one, and I was like bouncing all around, and I was being super crazy. I thought for sure it would freak Zane out, but oh no. It was like both of them were totally turned on by the craziness I was displaying. I still don't understand it, and now everything will be so awkward. Gah. I hate group projects. I'm such a control freak.
