Hey, welcome to Alldeaf! That's great you are teaching yourself to sign! I'm not deaf or HOH, but I took basic ASL in HS for 3 years and now am in my 3rd term of advanced ASL in college. So if I can be of help, feel free to message me on Skype when I'm on. Otherwise, there are many lovely deaf...

Hi! Welcome! Thats great that your taking up ASL! I'm from CA as well, more around the SF Bay area tho, but i'm in Oregon currently for college. A while back I considered graphic design as a major, but ended up in Psychology which will probably go into social services, same as you! But ya...

Ah thats good theyre good with him. Did he have an interpreter before he got his hearing back? Ive seen so many pro/con lists of hearing vs deaf schools. Ok, will do, I haven't been checking in on Skype recently, because I'm a week away from my finals, so all my papers/projects/presentations...

Ya definitely, thats a good idea, and very true! Does he go to public or residential school? When are you available to skype?

Also I'm doing well, I had a social psychology class today. Todays topic was stress, just in time for finals approaching of course! I find it kind of odd that talking about stress makes me more stressed. Does that happen to anyone else? I'm originally from California near San Francisco and...

Yay! Glad others want to chat too :] I'll go find you guys on skype! It's great to see other hearing people who want to get involved in deaf culture as well. @Adam, do you prefer being able to talk or sign with your brother? @Paulina, what got you interested in becoming an interpreter, do you...
