the week in review
its been one of those days, well its been one of those weeks really. you cant wait till its over and today i think its reached a head. everyone is 'Ergh' in the house. cant get a civil word most of the time! and for one i have (to be abstract) painter pain. so i have a stomach ache im not happy about.
but the week wasnt a total loss, the days had the highlights even if they were fewer than usual. Had annual CT scan on wed and i drove to the hospital. Every learner has their share of frustration but by the time i got home i was so worked up i refused to park the car cos i kept arsing it up (they persuaded me to do it in the end) and i had kept my cool the entire way but dad hadnt, im not a saint thats gonna piss me off eventually! to be fair i was drifting like mad.
My final assessment was this week (college) its not the official one but the internal one is like a pre-exam or a mock but more important cos the marks youre given are usually the same the examiner will give you when you have the official one.
so on the surface of it it didnt seem a stressy week compared to the last one in may (2 months of hell) but i think subconsciously people were anxious. id say i was. probably one of the reasons for paragraph one - above.
alot happened but i dont seem to write about it anymore. so rest assured the week had Stuff.
i heard the deaf community had their own theatre - well its not in a real theatre but theres a stage at the deaf club. signed performances. no idea if the actors are deaf or not (i havent been) but i think they probably have actors who can sign and speak their dialogue rather than just an interpreter to the side of the stage.
i also found out that the abbey theatre do new captioned performances. basically it means subtitles. handy for those not 100% on sign language.
i think its great, i never realised how big the community really is. although it also shows how big the divide is. those born deaf and those who can hear rarely interact, you might get 'hi's' but not conversations.
the deaf group at college even organised a separate meal for the grouy instead of going to the xmas party cps its always for the hearing. eg the main feature is live music. theres no interpreter for the raffle or speaches. so i can understand the need to do this. like i said, it just shows how big the divide is.
