Some, but not much.

This is what I know. Right now, tonight, I am physically and mentally exhausted from two long days working at Applebee's. This is my day for blogging and yet I can't think much about interpreting or ASL.
Here is what I know:
- I want to be immersed in Deaf culture and spend quality time with native signers. Not only is it beneficial to my skill levels, but I am interested.
- Not that I am prepared, but I getting excited about practicums.
- I have no desire to be in church, but I found myself intrigued by April's challenge of "if you can interpret church stuff then you can interpret anything". (And then I worry that it will interfere with my already tenuous work schedule.)
- I can easily get myself excited about taking the written NIC this summer. That seems the obviously easy part.
- I am confused and frustrated and scared about the real-world part. The experience which will lead me to the NIC Interview/Performance. How to get that experience, where to go, can I really do it before next summer when the laws change, am I going to have to leave Bud, will I have to return to school for a bachelor's degree whether it be a Board of Regents or another school providing the four-year program.
- Finding balance between life and studying and learning and living. All of which are vastly different.
