  • Status Update for July 2015

    What have I been doing since last summer, you ask? I have been teaching ASL classes, mentoring and leading case supervision, interpreting, and teaching interpreting workshops. I have not been much of a blogger because, honestly, as busy as my days have been, the only thing I want to do at night is watch TV. On the weekends, when I am not grading or prepping, I am relaxing, doing housework, and getting out of the house to go to a park, mall, museum, theatre, restaurant, or friend’s house.

    After the Spring 2015 semester ended, I took a 15-day vacation with my husband to Alaska and British Columbia. We moved into a new (to us) house in April, so renovating and redecorating have consumed much of my spare time. This summer, I am editing and taking teacher education courses. I update my Facebook profile pretty regularly, mostly just to my Friends, but sometimes publicly. I tweet occasionally, mostly live-tweeting television broadcasts, commenting on current events, or reviewing products and services— only sometimes tweeting about interpreting or teaching.

    So, I am alive! Just making an appearance on my blog for a moment to say “hello world.”

  • The ones most responsive to change survive

    It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.

    not Darwin, but I like it!

  • Teaching ASL-to-English & Vocal Technique Workshop in Fargo-Moorhead

    I’m happy to be here in Fargo-Moorhead teaching an ASL-to-English interpreting & vocal technique workshop today.

  • Gratitude for work

    I’m thankful for the people I work with and for, and the pleasure of the work itself, for they make me forget the stresses of my busy week. It’s lovely how it all just goes away when I’m in the moment.
