I had the weirdest dream last night. It was so realistic that I thought it was real. First, I found underwear, and I was so ecstatic I decided to go hang out with my friends. Well, I was hanging out and it turned out it was Arden's birthday and she got this really epic camera worth over a few thousand dollars. I wanted to know where she got it or if I could have her old camera, but she kept blowing me off... then I woke up.
Yesterday was so much fun. I went to Deaf Night at a pizza place with Dee, and there were a lot of people there. I was really Nervous at first... this was the the first signed conversation I had
C: HI. NAME YOU?
A: HI. MY NAME A-L-E-X-I-S
C: (Signs something that I know, but can't understand)
A: PLEASE AGAIN
C: (signs again)
A: PLEASE AGAIN
C: (signs again)
A: SORRY I. WORRIED
C: (in English, while signing) Hey it's ok(O-K). Don't (NOT) worry (WORRY). Let's go slow
A: O-K
C: BROTHER HAVE YOU?
A: Ah!! YES BROTHER HAVE I
C: HOW MANY?
A: 1. Z-A-K
C: NOT C?
A: NO. HE NOT LIKE C. (shrug)
And then we had a very nice conversation where we talked about family and classes.
I also met D-O-N-N-Y. He was really nice, and said that Dee and I were really good signers for ASL 1 because we signed fluently and clearly. He also signed his stories really quickly to me, but made sure every now and then that I was following him. Sometimes I would say "I UNDERSTAND" and sometimes I would stare blankly and say "NO UNDERSTAND". Then he would take me through what he was saying slower so I could understand, making sure that I understood every sign so that I could follow. He also taught me quite a few signs. It was such a fun night, I cannot wait until next week.

Oh no! I promise if I ever do get a super nice new camera I'll let you have my old one!
