Finals are coming!!! Not to be dramatic or anything but finals are coming soon and I don't think anyone is ready for it. Thanksgiving break gave all of us a chance to catch up on some sleep and get a head start on some of our final projects. Aside from classes the LLC has been having a lot of fun this month!
On November 7th we had our Staff and Student Dinner. There were 4 teachers from the ASL department that came and many residents from the ASL LLC were there. We ate dinner and played animal sign tag. Since there were so many people we had to teach new signs for animals that hadn't been taught in class. Many of the residents were excited to learn the new animal signs because they were more exotic, exciting animals. Overall, it was a great night and I think everyone had a lot of fun.
We also had an event on November 28th. The ASL LLC partnered with the Signing Student Association to have a bowling night at the Union Rec Center. Our stakeholder Erin Wiggins came and had a great time bowling with us. We even had a resident that isn't in the LLC join us. He has done an amazing job learning sign language over the semester just by hanging out in the lounge! We are so excited that another person has started learning about ASL and is interested in learning about the culture. This is what the ASL LLC is all about, teaching people about what it is like to live fully immersed in Deaf culture.
