ok so it's been a while since i last updated....i've been kinda busy, ya know!
let's see. i have started my last semester of grad school and so far it's going great. i am doing my intership this semester with the deaf population in the schools. so yes, i am using sign language as a means of communication. mind you, i haven't used sign since i was in high school, so needless to say i'm a bit rusty. i went out and bought a few books and a video. i haven't watched the video yet but i will soon. it's amazing to me how these kids can sign so quickly and they look freaking adorable doing it. their hands are so small and so cute. i just want to take them home. but i can't do that. i'm also working with the high school population and they're pretty cool too. man, i forgot about the attitude these kids have in middle and high school. it makes me want to smack them upside the head. but i can't do that either. my supervisor is awesome. she knows so much about the deaf community and is making my internship a lot of fun. she graduated with her masters from galludet university. i remember when i took my first sign class i wanted to go to galludet too, funny how things work out.
so, for my graduation gift i had asked for a trip to thailand. i really want to visit sometime and be able to see a different country other than mexico. BUT, that's not going to happen. booooooo. chris is unable to go cuz of work and therefore i can't go. if we were dating i would have prolly gone without him!! hahaha. but since we are married i can't go. married life sucks! hahahaha just kidding. there will be other opportunities....maybe when i'm retired! it's funny how things work out. chris texted me today and asked if i wanted to go to hawaii for my spring break. it's not thailand but hey, i get to get the hell out of reno for awhile and enjoy something!
i take my comprehensive exams in 6 weeks and i don't feel at all prepared for them. i have 13 classes to study for and then we get 2 random questions assigned to us. then we have to write for 2 hours for each question with all the knowledge we can spit out in order to pass. if we don't pass then we have to rewrite for that professor and we don't even get the same question. ARGHHH. i'm determined to pass so that won't happen to me. these tests also determine whether i graduate or not. THEN to top it off, i have to take the praxis exam the next morning. the praxis is basically our boards to be able to practice as a clinician. should be one hell of time!
ok, well this is all for now since i have to go get ready for bikram yoga. have you done bikram before? holy hell it's crazy. they heat the room up to like 110 degrees and then you do yoga for an hour and a half. you sweat like crazy but it's really cool. ok peace out.
until next time when i update on how and if i survive yoga!!
