First Entry

Reader's Note: The entry is old, I wrote it on other blog site. But I'm posting the old entries into here.

My new year's resolution along with exercise more and eat with better diet, was to get back into blogging. So here am I. :] 2 weeks late, I know, I know! Today I returned to NCOD to work in Library. And oh boy, I do miss NCOD! CSUN won't start until Jan. 29th. The top reason I miss NCOD is the politics that I am involved with.

When I was out at Arizona for winter break, just 2 weeks in Arizona and I got so bored there. I know almost no one there, and my parents are living with senior citizens. Enough said.

I definitely am looking forward to this semester. The classes I registered months ago are very exciting-- Deaf Theatre 405, 2 Political Science classes (Adm and Great Questions about Pols), Astronomy Lab and online Astronomy class. I am trying something new this semester with Real Time Captioning. It is like the CC you see on TV, only that the captionist is in classroom with laptop. The captionist types down the teacher's speech, verbatim. I had TypeWell captionists before, it is not fast enough as Real Time Captioning. I'll see how well the service is for me. Of course I have interpreters for other classes. :]

Deaf CSUNians can be little dull for me after one semester of hardworking, but I am looking forward to big events that we are planning all along. Miss Deaf CSUN Pageant, JASK (Just ASK! Deaf Awareness month in April), and Spring Banquet in May. This semester should be lighter on me since I worked hard in first semester to get the ball rolling for various committees, then this semester I will be able to focus on other items on agenda. Oh did I mention that I am Deaf CSUNians Vice President?

Other reason to look forward: fraternity! I grew to be fond of Lambda Sigma Pi. I enjoyed very much as Sergeant-at-Arms and other positions I am holding.

It was a rumor that we have 20ish transfer students to CSUN this semester. I know for sure more than 15 students, but this is exciting. It is my dream to see CSUN with 500-plus deaf/hh students. No wonder I'm majoring in Political Science! ;]
