ASL

age, sex, location?

AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE.

i need a new path. thanks to a little catch up today with my friend emily dorff,  i started researching schools for ASL again( and i'm sick in bed, so why not do something...future related...???)

the schools i've found that support the interpretation degree are kind of sparse...

a few to list;

miami? ugh...
tampa...
san diego...
portland, oregon...

there aren't a lot of options here in florida. the closest is miami, there's also tampa, jacksonville, st. pete, daytona beach, etc. but i don't think i want to live in any of those places. i'm quite picky, about everything. i basically need to find a school that has a 2 year program for an interpretation degree. not just a school that teaches you asl 1, 2, 3, 4...  to be honest, i really don't know anything about this field of study. i've never even taken a class on it, but it's been over 5 years now since i've thought about this as a career. strange, really, i have no backround, no reasons, nothing that led me to feel this interest. i keep talking to my grandma about it. she is pushing me constantly, telling me how unique it is, and how much she thinks i should just do it. 


i would like to move away from delray at some point... i always think of california, colorado, and oregon. i do have a boyfriend, though, so i can't make any rash decisions. we're both in this together, trying to get more of a future for ourselves and all of that grown up nonsense.

where to next? a good point emily made was... portland has the same street trams as prague. anything to remind me of prague is a plus in my book. they also have them in d.c. and seattle as well.

czech this out...

and this

my future. oh boy.

1 month away

(the ideal place to live should look like this)

unfortunatly, i'm starting to get really melancholy about moving back to the states. today hits 1 month before we head back to florida, my forever grounding-point, i guess. it seems like it's the place to "get back on my feet". still not sure where we're going to be living. i'd love to just straight up find a place for just the two of us. that would be most ideal in my world. but i guess we may settle for a room for rent, depending on who we'd be living with. picky me--- but i'm a homebody, so i like to be surrounded by people i'm comfortable around (or just my cat).  so if anyone is reading this and knows of a place for a couple that is people and/or cat-friendly, let me know ;)

i'm really going to miss europe... being so central has been incredible. i can't believe it's been 9 months already... i'm so fortunate for this experience here. i'm kind of hoping to look at florida as if i were a tourist when i get back. i need to make it more exciting, and less mundane sounding. we're going to find places we've never been before and try to appreciate it for as long as i can... whether we're there for 6 months... or 2 years. we're kind of talking a lot about school right now. i want to (finally) go to school for ASL and matt wants to go for his masters in history. and the fact that we're residents of FL obviously means it'll cost less $$$. and that usually helps out a decision, sadly. i don't really want to be tied down to a FL school for 2+ years, but it's a possibility. we'll see. we keep throwing all the west coast states out there... oregon, california.. swoon. i want to go to there.

now it's time to really think. time is flying by. where to live? need a car. can't wait to see my friends!!! ohhh, but prague, i'll miss you so much! your parks and your prices! some of my adorable students. the trams! our beautiful bedroom... the river. the castle views. the fried cheese. sighhh.
