So the rest of today was pretty great. I went to Institute, and saw Drew and Tori. It was cute, the teacher made her go in the front of the classroom, and then had all the boys come down to the front as well, face her, get on one knee, stick out a hand, and sing happy birthday. I was dying I was laughing so hard. Drew was too. She was raging at us both, but it was so worth it. :] Then we came back to my house, and hung out, and then we went to the Marketplace to eat, and Tori came with, then I went to ASL. ASL was boring, but before class was fun. :] Tracy, Jon, and some other deaf kid who I don't know his name, haha, were all talking outside the cla ss with me, and it was way fun. :] We were all just joking around, and they dubbed me with a new nickname-Deaf Impaired. :] It's great. Haha. But Jon told me that the float we made for DESA won third place!!!! It was really cool, and he was like praising me. Haha. I love it. I love everything about the Deaf world, and I'm so excited for my new life in it. :] Then I came home, and we went to Winger's for Tori's birthday, and it was really good, I had to eat super fast and leave early though, so that I wasn't late for the Halloween party. :] The Halloween party was lots of fun. :] I felt weird at first, cuz I was just kinda wandering around, and couldn't really find anyone to talk to. But for the last like hour I talked with Jon, Tracy, James, and Curt. (James does the same thing Jon does, and Curt is like a co-advisor man) For the first time, I couldn't keep up with everything they were saying! Curt was signing super fast, and I was struggling. But I did pretty well considering. Then like halfway through our conversation, Curt asked if I was deaf. Tracy and Jon both were laughing, and they told James and Curt I was deaf imparied. So now, that is what they all call me. :] I was the only hearing one in the conversation, so of course they all thought it was just hilarious. But I don't care, cuz I feel like I belong there now. :] After DESA we went to Angie's to clean the sink for Tori's birthday. It was really good, but we got two, and now all of us feel so sick. But we did it. :] The bumper sticker is on our fridge to prove it. :]

Hello from Thursday morning, writing about Wednesday. :] One week mark for Cam. :] I did my presentation in English, and it went really well!! I was super happy with us. So hopefully I'll get a good grade. :] So now the only class I have to worry about is Bio 1610. I didn't go to Psychology, but not a big deal, cuz I got the notes offline. :] It was cold again, but I loved it. In ASL Lab we practiced doing shoulder shifts to show differences between characters, and it was alright. I was kinda bored. Haha. But the very last one was you bumped into the bumper of the car of a big black guy, who got out and raged at you. The girl who had it did a good job, but Jon was like how do we show that the guy is black, compared to being just a mad big white guy? The class just kinda sat there, so I slowly stood up, and then did something super embarassing. I like busted out this total gangster walk, and had my hand in my belt buckle and everything and walked across the room. It was awesome. Then I just went and sat back down. The other girls were just staring at me, but Jon was like laughing, and was like exactly. It was pretty great. Then I came home and took a semi-nap. It was alright. But everyone was texting me, so I barely slept. Then I came out and watched Twins By Surprise with the rest of my roommates, and now we don't want ever want to be pregnant. Haha. Then I went to see Sweeney Todd with Drew, and it was really fun. :] The school did a really good job. :] I liked it a lot. It's funny, because you know how I'm super good at guessing what happens before the movie ends?? Drew does the exact same thing. It's funny. :] But then we went back to his house, and just kinda hung out, and I met another one of his roommates. It was really fun. :] I kinda like him, but Idk. We will see what happens. We won't see eachother until like next week I think, cuz he is going home for Halloween. So yeahh. :] Today is going to be a very busy day, and DESA is tonight!!!!! Yay! Read the blog. :]

Today was a great day, it truly was. I woke up this morning, and found a lovely blanket of solid white love all over everything. :] It was joyous. I went to Bio Lab, probably failed my test, and talked to Drew's best friend, Deric, and now we're friends supposedly. Awesome. Then I came home, got some stuff done, went to the Marketplace with April, had a great time, and then came home, got some more stuff done, and went to ASL. ASL was fun, since Dr. King is gone, Jon taught our class, and we watched the movie Through Deaf Eyes, which I have seen almost as many times as Jon, so we kinda talked throughout the whole thing. :] I love it. Then, something glorious happened. I walked out of ASL, and guess what? It was snowing. A lot. A lot. Huge round snowflakes falling from the sky. Everywhere. And it was sticking in mass amounts. I practically ran home, got everyone out of the apartment, and ran them to the fourth floor balcony to look at the glorious wonder of snow. It was so beautiful. :] Chase our RA was downstairs and heard me freaking out about it, so when I went to go get my stuff to study down in the common room, he was like why don't you just go outside? He's such a nerd. :] But I took one of the chairs, turned it towards the massive windows that overlooks the valley, and just watched the snow over the top of my laptop, trying to do my homework. It was so great. I have made that my new study spot. I decided it. It's so pretty here. Like so pretty. I thought Fall was pretty, until it snowed. :] So that was like the highlight of my day. I saw Drew at the Marketplace, which was kinda weird. But we all sat with him and Deric, and everyone else was making it so weird, it was making me so mad. Gah. They don't like him, and they don't even know him. It drives me crazy. Whatever. I think we're hanging out tomorrow night, so we will see. Tomorrow is also my English presentation, and I cannot wait to get it over with it. It will be so freaking awesome once everything is over and done with. :] Then I can just enjoy Halloweeen, and the snow. :] So exhausted.

I just realized I skipped a day. Oh well. Mondays are not fun. Ha. I just decided this. However, I slept through two classes this morning. Ha. My bad. But oh well, I went to every single class last week. I think. Ha. But I got a semi okay amount of stuff done today. Okay not really. Ha. I just have this really bad attitude about everything today. But don't worry, because tomorrow is going to be the day I get so much done!!! :] I can feel it. I went to FHE with Tori's friend Syndey. It was actually really really fun! We went to the corn maze, and got totally lost with these complete strangers. :] Haha but one of them was really cute, and another one was really nice, and the third, well he was just kinda weird. Ha. But it was fun. :] I really liked it. What else did I do today, I went to Wal Mart and the Halloween store with Tori. That was an adventure. Ha. I have been raging at her all day. :] For no real apparent reason. We are best friends. I love it. We are like together twenty four hours a day, and we are slowly becoming the same person. I can't wait for us to have a house together. :] It will be so cute. I'm so excited. When we were coming into my apartment tonight, we started fake fighting. Haha we were just screaming at each other to see what my roommates would do. They didn't really do anything, which kinda was a super big let down. Haha. But now we were under my bed, on her air mattress, in our secret clubhouse. :] It's really great, cuz my blanket folds down and hides us. It was too dark for me to study though, so I took one of the flashlights and hung it on the bottom of the bed. It's legit. :] Drew called me tonight. :] Which was good. We only talked for a couple of minutes, but hey, he called. It was effort. He has institute tomorrow with Tori, and I'm very very nervous about that. Haha. Hopefully she listens and doesn't break any of the rules I gave her. :] He said he would talk to me tomorrow, so maybe. :] Let's seeeee. This could get interesting. Okay, now, I need to go not fail Biology, which is kinda like trying to solve world hunger.

Bah. Today was actually pretty good, but at this moment right now, I'm not in a good mood. But today was Stake Conference, and Elder Ballard, and Elder Eeyring came and spoke. It was so cool. Their talks were reallly cool, and I liked it a lot. I didn't focus the entire time however, because I could see the ASL interpreter this time. And the coolest part was, I actually knew her. Her name was Camilla. :] It was so awesome. I liked knowing that I knew her, and a large majority of the people in the deaf section. It was awesome. After Stake Conference I pretty much did nothing. Watched a couple of movies, took like an hour nap, and just layed around. I know, a big fat waste of time. Whatever. Drew never text me. So I text him. Which was far worse than just waiting for him to talk to me. Gah. Hence, the bad mood. That is where it came from. Stupid guys, are they really that retarded? We will just see. He is a sucky texter anyway, and he was like working on driving back up to Logan. Now I'm defending him. Ha. Girls are just as retarded. Anyway, I think I'm going home this weekend, and going to Carol's Halloween party. I'm pretty excited about that. Hopefully this week goes so fast. My presentation is on Wednesday though, so I highly doubt it will. Plus a Bio Lab exam I just remembered. Bahhh. Tonight has been great. So great.

Okay, so I need to clarify something. This blog has become my journal of college, that I just share with all you people. So you cannot judge me for the things I write in here, because it's my only documentation of USU. Ha. With that said, I will tell you about my Friday. :] I had to be up so early for English, again, and we got like nothing done, again. I finished our Annotated Bibliography, but everyone in my group is retarded, so I was getting really frustrated. I don't even care about the assignment anymore. Bah. Then I went and took my Bio exam, and I got the same stupid score I got last time. However, he graded on a curve. :] So our percentages went up 7.5. Which is awesome. :] And, I still have to do the extra credit. So if I work really really really hard this last half of the semester, I may be able to pull off a pretty good grade. Hopefully. :] Okay so that was the boring mumbojumbo of the day. :] Let's get to the fun part. :] On this lovely night, I was going out with Drew. Ha. He is twenty three, went to Australia on his mission, and we met the first week we were up here, but we blew them off. Ha. So I'm glad he even asked me out again. Anyway, Tori was going to the Hockey game with her brother's old campanion that she has been hanging out with a little, but she doesn't really like. So she was like you and Drew should come with us. So we did. We went to dinner separately before, and then met up at the hockey game. It was really fun. :] But at the game, Drew was kinda being an idiot, and kept talking to the girls next to us. Ha. So me and Tori just disappared once to see if he would notice.
After that, he got better. Then we went to Cafe Rio so Tori and her date could eat because they were starving, and me and Drew just chilled. After Rio, Tori wanted us to go to her house to watch a movie with them, but Drew didn't want to intrude. I totally understood, Tori didn't. Ha. She was, and probably still is, so mad at me. Anyway, so we got a Redbox, and tried to watch it, but we didn't really get that far into it before he kissed me. (No judging. None.) And then we kinda just stopped watching the movie. Ha. So yeah. That was my night. :] He is reallly fun, not super cute, but he is really funny. So we will see. Oh, a little fact about The David. At the hockey game, he was right behind us. Ha. With some chick, but Tori said he was like watching me the whole time. Haha. So we will see what goes down on Tuesday. :]
Oct 22 2009
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.
