Post 30-minute video

Okay. Today we had several difficult assignments. The first in the Classifiers class, which I understand the concept, just having a slightly difficult time implementing these. I enjoyed performing my "skits" and really enjoyed watching my classmates perform theirs. Their unique stories were very interesting to watch. Also, I like the support system we are creating with each other.
The 30-minute video was VERY INTIMIDATING. I don't like to talk about myself for very long in any circumstance, today I had to SIGN about myself. For 30 minutes! Feeling very short on vocabulary made this assignment that much more difficult. I hated to have to fingerspell so many things, so I pantomimed what I could.
I believe I understand the immersion process of learning ASL -- what else could there be to do it quickly and well? Some days I feel confident, other days I feel overwhelmed.
Overall, however, I am still enjoying this class very much. Thank you!!
