Sign Language, Surprise Party

Aug 30, 2009 11:04

had a very interesting Saturday. It was the last day of the term and we capped the subject of Teaching Literature by watching the last 5 teaching demos of our class. The last one was of Migs, and his module was teaching the short story, "There Will Come Soft Rains" to deaf students. It was such a thrill to watch him teach, and thankfully we had one classmate who knows how to sign, so all (at least most) of our comments and questions did not have to be written on the board for him to understand. I learned the sign for words like, "Technology", "Science", "Fiction", "Thank you", "You're Welcome" and how to spell "Wall-E". I came out of the a lot smarter, (hehe), but at the same time my ignorance was further highlighted. le sigh. i want to learn sign language!

After the class i rushed to LPL mansion in greenhills to attend a friend's surprise birthday party. It was so much fun! I met a lot of new people, all of whom were really nice. To add to this list of new experiences, it was my first time to smoke unfiltered cigarettes! all we had were rolling (or wrapping?) paper and the actual tobacco leaves. they taste so much better, and there's no problem of leaving non-biodegradable filters around.

after the party (and eating loads and loads of food. We had Crab! CRAB!!!! and PIZZA!!! and cookies!!!) i took the cab with an officemate back to trinoma where i met my sister. we both waited for our parents to pick us.

i like this weekend, mamsirs. I like this weekend. :)

Although alert! :( i might be placed on night shift next week. Heaven help!
