YEAR-2-THOUSAND-8, YEAR-2-0-0-8, WHICH?

This is gonna drive me crazy, haha.  It's hard to do searches for years!

Also, it's raining!  We're going to see Australia, so I'm really hoping it's good!

Roxy: sounds like a horrid movie
Roxy: based on what I know about it
Roxy: which is the title and 2 of the actors

Update:  Yay, I found something through searching for "year 2 thousand 8" on Lifeprint!

"When you sign numbers, you do them quite similar to the way you say them in English. For example: If you are signing "1997," you sign "19" then "97."... The jury is still out on years like 2000 and up.  Most people seem to be doing the individual numbers while sliding the hand slightly to the right.  For example showing a two-zero-zero-zero for the year 2000.  So THAT is the way I recommend you sign the years 2000-2009. (BUT I have time and time again observed native Deaf ASL signers using the "thousand" sign as part of the sign for years 2000 and up.)"

Wow, it's amazing how many talk shows those KFC girls are being discussed on...  can't escape it!  Which KFC is it, and why don't I know?  And how were you the last to hear about this, Rox? :P

Anyway, time for better, happy news!  I'm finally done with my final ECE 2 assignment!!  For a 5-pointer, that took forever.  Shasta County could use for agencies, perhaps.  Make my life easier.  But I'm done!  :D  Now I can focus all my time on studying for my Human Dev. final.  And Disney.

DEAF SOCIAL, THERE MALL, TOMORROW TIME-6 NIGHT!  GO-THERE, WANT I! :)

Lab was a lot of fun tonight -- as it's meant to be!

We wore name tag necklaces backwards, so we each had the name of a famous person on our backs. We had to gesture to each other -- no signs! -- for 5 minutes to try and help each other guess our identities, and then we were allowed to sign.

I was Albert Einstein -- fitting, yeah? ;) Clearly, Yvette put lots of thought into the identity assignments. I guessed my identity with one gesture from Rox! She was Long John Silver -- again, lots of thought -- which was more difficult to get across. I was gesturing about eating chicken, and she later asked me if Long John Silver was a dog-eating pirate... but she did get it in the signing round! Yay for language.

Next, we got to make name tags ourselves and swap them with a classmate. I wrote Kermit the Frog on a name tag (&hearts) and when I was told to trade with Mike, I became Michael Jordan.

Cristy gestured to me about basketball, and I thought she was trying to guess her own! *facepalm* She was Fred Flinstone, so I thought she was misinterpreting what someone had told her about rocks. She immediately got her identity when I pretended to use a steering wheel and run. Before that idea, I'd no idea how to help her! Showing her that she was male like Kevin and wore a spotted dress with an uneven seam did not help the original confusion, haha.

Cheryl put her hands into paws and started hopping like a bunny to try to help Mike guess. Hmm.

Anyway, Rox got me to guess Michael Jordan when she pretended to play with a basketball and then pointed to her shoe, lol. Thanks Rox!

Roxy gave someone Walt Disney (and became John Wayne.) We are so predictable, at least to each other. We later overheard that they found that hard to communicate through gestures. Sounds fun to me, haha!

After class, my story group stayed late to practice Sleeping Beauty. It's still too long, but I think it's going to be great! Just got to work on my expression, I think.

I wish ASL class was like that more often! &hearts

Our group had to rehearse Sleeping Beauty in front of a Deaf woman the night before last.  It went rather well, considering we hadn't practiced as a group yet.  It's nice not having to perform a 5 minute story all alone.  The woman says I could use just a little more expression, which is about the best feedback on my expression I can get, haha.  We're really working on condensing our script now.  We hit the 5 minute point at as we were about half-way through, and most of my lines are in the second half.  How that happens when I should be sleeping, I'm not sure... I really need to look that script over before lab starts tonight.

1-year-ago I go-there DL.  Worker there inform-me about program name quotes Disney College Program there Florida.  If accepted, can become Disney worker same-as-her.  Interest I.  Want apply, hope become CP.
