Subject: Finally Author: Christina [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:00:01 04/07/03 Mon Hey all! My computer has not been letting me on the forum, but I am finally here. So, it sounds like we are all having VERY interesting and different experiences. That is So great! I'm really glad we have this forum...way-ta-go Rory! Anyway, Stephanie, I can totally relate to that whole Cow thing...last term in mock-interpreting we were discussing cows and human men doing things I won't mention here...but yeah, lots of CLs...I was glad Marla had more experience and could feed me some ideas I couldn't exactly get a mental picture of... :-P Anyway, I am doing half of my internship here at WOU and taking the "Elements of Acting" class on TTh, and then MWF I am down at OSU for the other half of my internship. It is a very interesting group of classes...with students of various language preference and background. The most uh...interesting one is a physics class transliterated into a mixture of SEE and home signs! This is WAY hard...I don't know if I will ever get my hands up in that class...I've been practicing transliterating the radio and videos and things and I simply cannot go fast enough...one of my mentors in that class has been with this student for years, so that makes me feel better about my lack of skill...but I can't even hold a decent conversation in SEE! It just makes no sense! Like if you say, "RID stands for Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf" You sign "R-I-D STAND + S FOR REGISTER + Y OF INTERPRETER + S FOR THE DEAF"...idioms and all...it's really hard. The rest of my classes vary between interpreting and transliterating. And I am with different mentors in different classes. I like all the variety, and everyone is very helpful and welcoming. :-) I'm still kind of walking around with a glazed look on my face, trying to figure it all out, but I'm really enjoying the experience. And I'm so glad to hear about all of yours, too. :-D Well, that's plenty for now, I'm sure. Hope to read more from you soon. Once again...remember to breathe.
