Huh.....

The Spanish quiz

Estudio mucho hoy. Seriously. I think I did ok though on the quiz. I forgot, mid test, the word for "TODAY"; which really blows because I know that word. I've already used it in this here post. I'm sure I didn't fail but I studied for 7 hours today so if I did fail I'll just drop out and give up my dreams to teach since one must have 4 semesters of a foreign language (or Las Lenguas de extranjeras) to get a teaching degree in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Moving on....

I have to do a book review for my History 122 class. That would be US History POST civil war. It doesn't HAVE to be a non-fiction or a biography. It can simply be a novel ABOUT a time period POST Civil War -- such as "ragtime", the depression, reconstruction, or even on the effects of unbanization, education, technological advaces, etc. during these times. I have chosen to do a review under the heading of education. I'm reading, The Story of My Life -- a biography of Helen Keller. Thoughts?

So I don't know if I've shared yet -- but I sit next to a deaf girl in my history class. She has two interpreters that sign for 20 minutes at at time and three hours altogether. It's facinating and distracting all at the same god-damn time. Before taking Spanish, I wanted to take Sign Language as my foreign language but they don't offer that in our area. So sad too bad.

They (the student and her two interpreters) have asked me to take notes for her. I suppose it's hard for one to watch someone else speak with thier hands and write down what the hand-speakers are speaking all at once. Of course -- I said, "of course!" like any nice person would do. It makes me take way-good notes dude, AND she's going to get me an A on my book review (1/3 of my grade!!). I love her. Her name is Amelia.

Check out the "THE MIRICAL WORKER" and watch it. It's moving. I saw it when I was little and I've never forgotten it. It stuck. Like the fucking word HOY is stuck to my brainicles right now!
