ok so by nature I'm a worrier. its like my job or something.... so like I totally am freaking out that i will never learn ASL fluently. I know that it is unfounded and whatever. but i feel like i should be so much farther than I am. I have completely good intentions, like i checked out a ton of books from the library and am looking through them but its just so frusterating because i don't feel like things are coming to me as fast as they should. I'm not a very patient person and so when I don't know a word or when I'm having trouble fingerspelling whatever is being spelled I feel so crappy because i'm like i totally should know this!
Next semester is going to be crazy but I'm really excited, I hope Fairmont Offers the intro to ASL (a.k.a. dictionary class) if not i'll have to wait like another year before entering ITP which would be sad, especially since I'd like to transfer to Eastern Kentucky University after I finish the 2 year program at FSU...... anyway i still love it. and i get to go bowling tomorrow night so i'm totally excited!!!!!!!!
I can't wait until I'm given a sign name. But I just have to wait until I get to know a Deaf person and that person gets to know me..... Ruby sometimes gives people sign names but so far I don't have one. lol

I will give people name signs when I find their real identification. I don't want to give name signs because they want one then later they have their own identification and should have that sign name.
Laura, do not feel frustrated. I don't expect my students to become fluent in ASl within 8 weeks. No, it will takes a while to become fluent unless someone is really dive in Deaf world, then they can be ASL fluent more quickly.
Thanks Ruby :)
I wouldn't want you to give me a name sign just because I wanted one either. Thanks for not doing that :) I understand that it has something to do with the person so yeah :)
Anyway thanks! :) oh and btw, your a great teacher!
