Guess what! I survived the first day back to school. I love love love my American Sign Language class and the fact that my friend Kim and I get to be partners for every task. I learned how to ask someone for their name and to tell them mine. And shapes and stuff. The entire class was taught in ASL so it was very quiet. I didn't realize how difficult it would be for me to keep my mouth shut the whole time. Thank God for a 15 minute break in the middle. I needed to exercise my mouth haha. I'm so not used to not talking. Like hello?
Here's a little preview of me
having no clue what I'm doing practicing.
I should probably work on my facial expressions since I look like a zombie.
Also, since I can't live-tweet my Statistics class due to NO INTERWEBZ in the basement, I wrote down all my thoughts yesterday.
- Why are most non-traditional students so weird?
- WHERE IS THE WIFI?
- If this asshat behind me doesn't stop kicking my seat, I'm gonna curbstomp his face.
- Look at those ratchet nails on the chick next to me.
- "Humans are bad at math."
- People still use the Cornell method?
- "Zeus could tell you the parameters, but we don't know for sure."
I know you're sad that I couldn't tweet all that.
Hope you're enjoying the last couple weeks of Summer!
XO - Monny
P.S.- Happy 15th anniversary of the release of HP and the Sorcerer's Stone!
And that is precisely why I do not want to go back for another bachelors...I don't want to be another weird non traditional student lol
ReplyDeleteI am sooo jealous! I have always wanted to learn sign language! Have you seen Switched at Birth? I love that show and I've learned quite a bit. It may help you learn to understand what other people are saying. To be thats the hardest part!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! I really wanted to take an ASL class in college but it never fit in my schedule! I remember some stuff from elementary school at least, like all of the letters.
ReplyDeleteI love your "live tweets" from statistics class, I'd have wanted to read everyone!
ReplyDeletemy husband is going to be non-traditional in the spring, I will ask him to kindly not be weird!
ReplyDeleteWomp. I'm the non-traditional student in my business stats class, haha! Mostly because my undergrad didn't even sort of require any business classes, and now that I want to get my MBA, I need to take it. Oops. Don't worry, I wasn't weird. I don't think, anyways. Haha!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry - I've already typed out my observations of "kids these days" (kind of) from the perspective of a grad student - who has been out of college for almost 6 years - in an undergrad class. Haven't posted it yet, though ;)
Jealous of your sign language class - I've always wanted to learn! Do you need it for your major, or is it just a "for fun" type of class?
HAPPY HARRY POTTER ANNIVERSARY!!!
