I can’t wait for this term to be done. My mood about school is rather negative. I can’t stand it. The only part I really really like is some of the people.  The program is small enough that we have all of our major’s classes together,  and I’ve made some new friends. Making new friends was one of my goals at the beginning of the year, and I am thankful that God provided me with the opportunity to meet some great people.

Because of how school is making me feel I have decided not to take the FIVE classes that I was suppose to take this summer. I’m taking the summer off. Unfortunately this means that I will no longer be with my class. I won’t have the classes done that are prerequisites for the fall term. This also means that it’ll take another whole year for me to complete the program if I end up choosing to do that in the end. I believe in 2012 Iowa will require that interpreters have a 4 year degree in “something” prior to taking either of the two tests to become licensed. That means I either need to get the program done before then, earn a four year degree as well, or just not become an interpreter.

My intentions from the beginning weren’t to necessarily become an interpreter. I just wanted to learn sign so that Matt and I could adopt a deaf child and be able to start off running with language rather than us trying to learn it all at the same time. Part of me does want to finish the program. Some times I feel like I get myself close to finishing things and then never actually do. Right now school is not a good thing though. Plus, I feel like the deaf teacher of mine has completely wasted my time this term. I’ve never taken a class were I’ve learned so little! I could have learned this entire term’s stuff in about 1 or 2 classes. I’m being completely serious. Isn’t that just disgusting!? I’m disgusted with the money and time that’s been lost due to his incompetence.

I do plan on taking ASL III this fall. I’m a lil excited about it because it’s the ASL classes that I’ve wanted to actually take. I’ll finally be able to! Plus, I’ll be in the same class as Matt. That’ll be a new experience that I think will be a lot of fun.  (This also means no more bad deaf teacher!)

ASL gloss for that sentence might look something like this…if I’m correct…   —->  And that mean teach (adgent) bad deaf no more.

So yeah, school = BAD     

Picture catch up time.    While I had my dry spell in blogging Matt and I celebrated our two-year-wedding-anniversary on March 3rd. If you’d like, you can see the pictures here.
