Libraries...

I've been really focusing in on my ASL lately. Most of the week has been driving around from Library to Library trying to find the video tapes I need for my class. Today I ended up at the campus library and sure enough....they had them. Now why didn't I go there first? I'm such a dork at times. The videos are so cheesy. I guess they kind of have to be seeing how they are beginner ASL tapes. I do have to say that it really helped a lot to see the signs I was learning put into action. Vocabulary lists of signs gets old and you don't really think you are learning anything until you see it. I was suprised at how well I could understand. Granted they were only using signs we had learned for the most part.

One of my classes was cancelled so I only had my ASL class today. Kind of nice seeing how Tropical Depression Ophelia is knocking on the door. It's quite gloomy out. One of the girls in my class asked me for help so I'll be heading into campus on Friday to hit the library with her. Nice to feel needed. :)

Did I mention how awesome last weekend was? I can't believe how great it was to meet the "guys". They are wonderful and I'm really hoping that it wasn't just a one time thing. They are truely people I would like to have in my life for a very long time. I was telling my college roommate L that these are the kind of people that we would have been friends with. It just seemed like we all "fit" so well together. Don't think there were any lulls the entire weekend. Good times....good times.....

BSG Comes to an end?!

I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

Image
So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
