2/28/13
These past two weeks, a lot has gone on. I got a job at a cafe in San Rafael. I am a cashier, I make different kinds of coffee and various drinks, wash dishes and man the floor. So far, it's going really well, and I'm very happy with it. In American Sign Language, I had a visual test, which means my teacher, Pat, signs a paragraph, we have to watch her and write down what she says. I got an A, 92%. I missed two words and I forgot to capitalize her name. I went to a deaf coffee chat; at first it was intimidating, but when more people showed up, everyone was talking to each other. The people in the deaf community are so nice and welcoming to everyone. They are some of the happiest people that I have met. I had to write a paper on a movie we saw called "Through Deaf Eyes." Today we have a vocabulary quiz.

week 20 2/8/13

This week I was really busy. I had Swan Lake rehearsal on Saturday, then on Monday I had my modern dance class in the morning and in the evening I had Ballet class. On Tuesday I went to my sign language class and then had to bus it over to Stapleton for another Swan Lake rehearsal. I then went back to COM to go to my hip hop class, but I have to drop it becuase it doesn't work with my rehearsal schedule. On Wednesday, I had modern again and then went to Angelica's and sewed my pointe shoes for class. After class we went over to the Sausalito Woman's Club to choreograph some of Candace's play. After three hours, we went home. On Thursday I got to sleep in, but then I had ASL. Today I am at school writing this blog, then I'm off to Ballet, with rehearsal again tomorrow.

1/31/13 week 19

This week I was out sick. We have our final assignment in ASL which is acting out a play called "Timbur." Another assignment was to make a board about ourselves with only pictures explaining who we are and what we like, then we have to sign what it means to the teacher. We have to watch an episode of "Switched at Birth" because there are some scenes where signing goes on. We have to write a paragraph of what we think of the show and how we feel about it. In modern dance, we do warm up exercises and go across the floor doing random moves. In hip hop we are there for three hours so we do warm up excersises, work out, and learn basic moves of isolation and movement. We also do a chain of movement that we add on every week.
