ASL: Movies and Pumpkin Farms

Hello again! On October 27th the LLC watched Versa Effect. This movie is an American Sign Language Film and all of the performers are Deaf. The movie is about Jackie and Seth who love to... HATE each other. They are working in the same school and are arguing about whether an athlete who should stay on the team because he has a lousy GPA. They don't get along but, something terrible happened to them; their bodies were switched. There are a lot of moments where they are struggling to find a way to switch back to their own bodies. They must find a way to get back to their original bodies or else they will be stuck forever! Some of the residents thought this movie was similar to Freaky Friday. After the movie we all took a picture in our matching LLC shirts.  It was a GREAT night!   
On October 28th the ASL LLC residents went to Lidner's Pumpkin Farm and Corn Maze in New Berlin, Wisconsin. The temperature was only 40 degrees but we still had fun! The farm has many goats, a pony, a pig, red-eyed rabbits, chickens, and peacocks. We even got to feed the goats! After that, there was a giant slide, and it was kind of rough to ride on it. Also, there were many photo opportunities of Halloween and Fall Fest paintings. The final thing we did was the corn maze. It was a little small but we saw a lot of scarecrows and tried to get ourselves lost. There was a lot of laughing and a lot of pictures. One of the residents was joking and took a picture with a scarecrow and said it was her boyfriend. The Peer Mentor took a picture with the scarecrow too and said she stole the boyfriend.  Overall, we had a great time at the pumpkin patch! 
It was a weekend full of fun and a much-needed break from college. Now back to school and ready for the last six weeks!
