(Posted this on the Gallaudet blog, but of course I’m copying it here!) Hey everybody! I am at my internship in Japan, and I thought I would tell you a little bit about the differences between Gallaudet and Tsukuba University of Technology. The academic culture is a little different here. In the US, it is [...]

No Scuba
I think I shall never become a scuba diver. I had my first class today at school. For those who don’t know, I had an injury on a 2006 “discover scuba” trip in Bermuda; my hearing was damaged as a result of this. But the world underwater was SO cool, and I really wanted to [...]
Extra Credit
Today my sports ethics teachers suggested a field trip to the Special Olympics. It would be on a Saturday, and it wouldn’t be required, but if you went, you could then write a paper about the experience and earn extra credit. So I asked if there would be an opportunity for students who couldn’t go [...]
Quick Report

I’m not talking about debate team type debate, just having simple discussions in class. Today one student and I – he’s also an older student [...]
Classes
I’m adding a fifth class this semester. I’m nervous because I’ve always taken only four in the past, but I think I should be able to handle it.

They’re honestly temporary…I tried them a while back and even I didn’t like them, so I discontinued them. The reason they’re reappearing now is because I just [...]
Honors Retreat
I actually went on the honors retreat this year, unlike last year! This year I got to go as staff, which was a much more enjoyable way to do it. kellerinablack8 was also on staff in addition to some of my other best friends. It was totally awesome! I shared a room with the honors [...]
Financial Aid 08-09
I guess grades don’t mean much for getting financial aid at Gallaudet. My first year, I got $2500 per semester. I brought no academic history with me, so that was presumably a need-based grant. I’ve been waiting for my financial aid papers to show up in the mail, but I thought I’d check the online [...]
Report Card
All I have to say is: I got straight A’s this semester.
