WHEW 2nd week over and into a 3rd

HEY GUYS! Oh man so much has happened last week I don't even know where to begin! For starters my mother just had to skype me for her birthday last Monday. Mothers. lol anyways we signed for a bit taught her some stuff. She got my hilarious card and gift for the car or wherever she ends up putting it. Classes are going well. I am still lost a lot in my Black Deaf Studies class. Some of the students sign so fast! Ayy Also some of my classes keep moving rooms so then I have to find another room in another building. I'm still getting used to how the buildings are set up but at least I now know that names and where most buildings are the important ones anyways. My 930 am class was cancelled last week on Tues AND thursday so I got to sleep till 10 the whole week!!! awesome!!!!! I decided to rush a sorority this semester.....interesting I must say. I rushed Delta Epsilon sorority. Their colors were red and white. All the sorority girls were in a dark room with one very dim light. I had to sit in front of them and answer a bunch of questions. Sometimes they signed the question so fast I missed it then asked for a repeat and still too fast. Sigh. I dont know if I got in or not. It would be cool to be apart of one but its not life or death to me. Friday night was by far the most exciting. My friend who lives on my floor she introduced me to her international friends. Some were part of ELI which is English language institute where they learn basics english math science and ASL. Most english isnt their first language so they have to learn that first before they officially enter college at Gallaudet. Anyways we all went to see a movie. a really scary movie. called Cowboys or something it had aliens in it. freaked me out sooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad. I honestly thought I was going to have nightmares but something else happened that distracted me from that. I talked to many of the international boys and a couple girls and thats when I met Chris. Saturday we hung out for a few hours after eating dinner with everyone. Sunday I went to another deaf church. I liked it it was small and I could understand the preaching. The church was in Alexandria VA. I really liked the town. I will prolly still look at a few more churches before making a decision but I think I will got back to this one again. Sunday afternoon my new friends and I went to Chinatown for the Chinese New Year celebration. It was alot of fun really cold tho. I was huddled against Chris most of the time lol The dragons were really cool and little kids dressed up were so cute. I want a Chinese kid now!!  I have to say that was the best day ever since ive been here. Well that was week 2 in a nutshell. Love you all :)
