A Great Opportunity
Today I received an e-mail telling me that my name had been suggested by the ASL/Deaf Studies department as a possible candidate for an internship. The internship requires 10 weeks in Japan, teaching ASL and English to deaf Japanese students at Tsukuba University. I have gone over so many pros and cons, like the fact … Continue reading
Things and Stuff
The alumni vs. students College Bowl game was today. We won, but they wouldn’t listen to me about the Brooklyn Dodgers and Thomas Gallaudet! I seem to be the comic relief for audiences, my seriousness and indignation when I’m proved right always gets a laugh. The Diddit contest ends in about three hours. I am … Continue reading
College Bowl Finals 2008
Let me tell you about the College Bowl match on Wednesday night. As I’ve mentioned, I was plenty nervous. But as we waited backstage for everything to begin, excitement took over! We were dancing, seeing who could jump highest, reminding each other not to drink too much of the water they provided (lest the need … Continue reading
NAD: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Morning
So I have to catch you up on what’s been happening since Monday. Tuesday was pretty uneventful most of the day. Okay, I’ll be honest…I don’t remember what I did.

It’s a full-day excursion now, and I recommend seeing it all in one day because the $20 admission is a bit steep. Friday night my wife … Continue reading

It said she was born with a syndrome (I think it actually said birth defect actually) that makes her a what? Well, of course I knew … Continue reading
What’s Up Tonight
Well here I am, trying to write a paper that’s due tomorrow morning. I need two more pages. I’ve found an outstanding source, but I can’t exactly have Amazon deliver it to me instantly. I can buy some of the articles in PDF format but that costs WAY more than buying the book. Tonight the … Continue reading
College Bowl
Tonight I had a 30+ minute post-practice chat with the College Bowl coach. He wanted me to know that if I become a “regular” student, I WILL be on the team going to New Orleans in July for the competition. He immediately asked if :A: would come too, so apparently I would get my own … Continue reading
