Wow another week down. We have had our first test, which we managed with a little help from April. We have actually interpreted from english to sign. I have to say I was very disappointed with my first effort. We did another attempt today and I felt that I did make some progress. We have a test in Rubys class tomorrow. I have to admit that I am so frustrated with my receptive skills. I still have a hard time undestanding Ruby. Sometimes, I get the story and sometimes I don't. The work is staring to get piled, higher and deeper and that familiar feeling of being overwhelmed is coming back.
I did get out my idioms CD's and the homonyms I am going to start taking my note cards with me in and get them out anytime I am waiting at a doctors office or have a few minutes. I need to review. It takes a while to get organized and into the routine of school. Then you need to find your study times and then you need to find time to review...... Sign language is a demanding program, it is cumulative, you can't walk out of a test and forget what you just learned.
I walk by the classroom where the first year students are and I hear the same comments that we made last year, I just want to say, wait, until the next year!
