Been down here at my cousin's house since my computer died Thursday evening. Not surprised to be honest since we put it together back in 2004 and has survived the brutal heat that goes down up in the 'Dale. The only drag is work related communication but I told my coordinator what the score was so that's taken care of. I'm fortunate in the sense ( Read more... )

Boy was I more optimistic in my previous post than how I'm feeling right now. All this free time is slowly destroying me. Too much time to think myself into a deep depression and I feel like I don't have a purpose in life. I feel irrationally lonely on top of things. I barely have any motivation to do anything except for exercise and that's only ( Read more... )

As far as school went, it wasn't my best outing. Missed some assignments, missed some classes, a bunch of tardies, brutal 24+ hour stretches and a C on a test--smh. My ASL/English interpreting professor let me slide on so much of my shit. I'm sure it's because she knows I'm already out interpreting professionally and I guess she's cool with how I' ( Read more... )

EDIT - So I check my bank account today (02/02/10) and my school just deposited the rest of my grant money. I'm out of the shit hole for the time being. It's a financial miracle ( Read more... )

Went to Deaf Pizza night earlier. First time I've signed since I started vacation. Needless to say , my kung-fu is weak. Took me a few minutes to get on the ball receptively but it took fifteen minutes for my expressive skills to kick in. I did it to myself by not practicing that much during the break. It's damn upsetting and I'll have none of it. ( Read more... )

I gotta use this thing more often just for my own sake. A combination of not having anything too interesting to write about and laziness left this journal bare for a while. I felt like it would be redundant to talk about stuff in my journal if I end up talking about them in the chat anyway. I think this time around I'm just going to write stuff in ( Read more... )

I put in my first name. Didn't bother with the last name.

Holy crap technology!  We're at a convenient detour at my dad's old friend's house before we hit the path for another 8-9 hours to head out for my grandma's :(  I really like it here!  It's really nice to be using my Tagalog.  I'm pretty rusty but I've improved a lot in the past couple of days.  I am so greatful I can still understand it with no ( Read more... )

I felt pretty ashamed of my race today.  My partner for my final test dumped her Filipino boyfriend this morning because he got really jealous that I was working with her.  She told me he went ape-shit and started to call her a whore, slut, a bunch of other shit, and was mumbling shit to her all under his breath.  I told her I was sorry for that ( Read more... )
