For some reason I almost always trip up on my own name. It's the "A" to "Y" that gets me.

Cool! Thank you so much for your help.

I am a fast learner, so hopefully I will do okay. I also have a year before I want to go to get better at ASL. I want to take a few easy classes while I am there, general education stuff. What did your husband study?

Thank you so much. I will try! :) So far everyone here seems really nice.

I am already in school in Missouri, so I would be a visiting student, so I don't really care if they have my major. I would be going there to experience Deaf culture and work on my signing. I know very little ASL, but it is already so much easier to communicate than by speaking and lipreading. I...

Learning. My family did not let me learn ASL because they thought it would keep me from speaking.

Hi Mabel! :) Caz, that is the plan. :)

Hi Mabel. :) I like your name!

Well, I am from Detroit, so it may be an upgrade! :P

That's good to know! :) I would very much like to be a part of Deaf culture, but because I was raised hearing and I speak well I always feel like I am not deaf enough to participate, or that I won't be accepted. That's part of why I joined this website, to work up some courage and make new...

I thought so! I'm very embarrassed that my ASL is so poor, though. Do you think people will be understanding?

I am thinking about being a "visiting student" at Gallaudet for a semester. Does anyone go there that could tell me things they like and don't like about it?

I'm originally from Detroit. :)

Thanks! I live in Columbia. :) Edit: But I'm willing to travel a reasonable distance!

It is a rehab for birds. :) I can post some pictures of the other animals I work with. I am in college now studying wildlife.

She is! :) I really like her. I am uploading pictures of some of the other birds... And maybe some of the other animals I work with, if you want to see those.

Soulchill, it takes a lot of training to be able to hold an owl safely. :)

Two shots of Owliver doing a presentation this weekend.

Thank you caz and smith! Caz, sometimes I feel that way, too, but I try to put myself in my parents' shoes. They did what they thought was best for me and I can't be angry at them for that. All I can do is try to immerse myself in Deaf culture now to make up for lost time! :)

Thanks! She is beautiful. I will add more pictures in a second. She is my favorite. I don't sign near the animals because they don't like it. They are excited by the movement and they bite. It doesn't matter though because I usually work alone and snakes can't even hear, anyways.
