Let's just update you about this weekend. :]
It was Silent! (For most of it anyway.)
This weekend was DESA's Silent Weekend, and it was a really great time. It was so different to be not be able to use my voice. However, it was A LOT easier than I imagined. The theme of the weekend was "Deaf in Black" (like MIB). It was so cool! In my cabin, "Revelation" it was me, Emily, and Lindsay from my ASL group. Lindsay is hilarious. She had everyone laughing so hard during their skit, and had us laughing all weekend. It was really cool. We did a lot of workshops, and games and my skills really did improve A TON. I'm super excited. Friday night I played "Killer Bunnies" with Jon, Nick, and Jon's Deaf friend, Brent. It was a really fun game, and I'm so surprised I actually understood how to play, seeing as I never had before and it was all ASL. :] I'm super proud, if you can't tell. Saturday afternoon we played these team competition games, and mine was a hit. Which is surprising, because my game got messed up so me and Jan had to hurry and make something up. But it worked, and was very successful. Go last minute planning. :] On the way home, I'm such an idiot, Tracy didn't bring her Cochlear so I had to interpret for her, however, I kept TALKING for her. Yeah, she is Deaf. She can't hear me. It had been a long weekend. :]
After Silent Weekend, I met up with Troy and we did absolutely nothing. :] It was so great. Haha we were so lazy, but I was exhausted. We watched the Jazz game, and they lost. Then we had a surprise party for April, because her birthday is next weekend. It was fun. :] We made her a big banner, and Talyn and her sister and friend came up and made cake and stuff. It was good. Everyone came over, and then they had a big dance party and watched Glee all night.
Sunday we went to Stake Conference with Logan. It was really good. Elder Cook's wife spoke about Temperance, and being aware of not allowing our strengths, to become a weakness. It was good. I love Stake Conferences. After that, we did....nothing again. Haha we hung out with April, watched TV, and I did some homework. I got my classes figured out for next semester, and I like how it all is set out as of now. We will see. Registration is this week, so I need to make sure that I get those classes. I'm taking Intro to Astronomy. :] We'll see how that class goes.
I cannot believe that there is only two weeks left of school. That is so bizarre. It has gone so fast! So weird. Life is just moving right along. :]
This summer is going to be full of surprises.
