Anyway I haven't posted photos anywhere except to my assignment journals and submissions because... schoolwork. I only have three I am comfortable sharing but I had a really fun time. Early on there was some embarrassment when I hadn't quite learned enough signs to communicate but we had some friendly and helpful guys who like to help out the ASL students and hang out.
This is a mix of ASL 1, 2, and 3 students as well as some friendly local Deaf guys who were teaching us some basic signs.
This is Andrew who had a gorgeous Zelda themed tattoo which I expressed jealousy of, and had learned enough to converse. He was super cool, and friendly, and was apparently hard of hearing because later on he startled the heck out of some of the ASL students and laughed really loudly because he was fully capable of hearing the noise and knew exactly how loud it was going to be.
This was from the Christmas Carol event which was at the ASL club at the TCC Chesapeake Campus. On the far left is Kelley, my classmate, and in the middle is my teacher Ms Gilstrap, who is a fantastic teacher. You can't tell from this photo but I am actually taller than Kelsey, our teacher, she is a tiny pixie of a woman.
I have had so much fun with ASL, and while my hands are screaming thinking of all the frantic signing practice, and I am really looking forward to picking it back up when I get to Texas. I will need to PRACTICE so that I don't have to start back over. I didn't get A's to start back over in ASL 1 thank you very much. :P
That's it!
