I'm finished with the ASL series at college..Yay!

So, as of November 12, 2010, I finished my ASL courses at CSCC. Now, I'm taking on the Interpreting coursework. Gulp! Wish me luck!
The final exams for ASL V(there are ASL I,II,III,IV, and V we must take and pass to move on to Interpreting) was very hard. I did pass, but I consider myself lucky. Whew! It was a rough one!

One story the professor signed and we wrote in English was this:
One evening, a man was walking by a building that was on fire. He saw smoke coming out of the windows several floors up. Then, he saw a woman in a window screaming, "Someone save my baby!" "Help, Help!". The man, who was Jim Tressel, the coach of the OSU Football team. He yelled at her to drop her baby and he would catch it, being that he was a coach, he knew the baby would be safe. The woman was very afraid, but trusted the man, so she let her baby go. They baby fell way, way down, and Jim caught the baby. The baby was safe and sound. Jim was so excited he caught the baby that he took the baby in one hand, slammed the baby to the ground and yelled "Touchdown!"

This is supposed to be a Deaf joke. *sigh*

Another story was about our professor's dog. Okay, get this....so she was signing away, and I knew exactly what she was signing until she fingerspelled the dog's name. Was it Matthew...Motheew...Montindew? Something...I couldn't get it, so I wrote "Matthew". Okay, guess what the dog's name was? Mountain Dew. Yep, the soft drink. Come on...what idiot would make sense out of that enough to know that was Mountain Dew? I guess I saw those letters fingerspelled, but second guessed myself. No one calls their dog Mountain Dew!! Sheesh.

Needless to say, I got a B on the Final, but I passed....good for me!
