CI/CT is my interpreting certification. They are from the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, and I hold both Certificate of Interpretation (between English and ASL) and Certificate of Transliteration (between English and Manually Coded English). The CI and CT tests aren't available anymore, they've been replaced by the NIC, the National Interpreter Certification. They are still valid, as are even older certifications, they've just been replaced with a new test.
The Gally Class of 11 means that after 10 years in the rat race I am back in college! I dropped out the first time around, but in 2006 everything came together and I was able to quit my job and go back to school full-time (I interpret part-time, about 12 hrs a week) in August 2007. Although I am a sophomore, I have a lot of classes to take that are required for graduation...most of my previous college credit got transferred as electives. So I am probably going to graduate in 2011.
