BSL then to the pub
Another sign language lesson out the way. I had completely forgotten there was homework (and was still a bit fuzzy on the purpose anyway) but no-one else had done it either. The first assessment is next week. I’m not so worried now about content, but I’m still a bit iffy on length. It’s meant to be 3–5 minutes but I’m struggling to break through the 2½ minute mark right now. As with all presentations, it’s a combination of not being sure what’s relevant, or what’s interesting, and going too darn fast.
Regarding homework, my boss was good enough to transfer a video of signed stories over to DVD. I haven’t checked the quality yet, but we don’t have a VHS player at all so it’s still a massive improvement. I might stick it on my computer and cut it up into little bite-sized chunks; that’ll make for easier viewing.
After class a few of us went to the pub. A place called The Street, which I can’t find a URL for anywhere — but with a name as search-unfriendly as that, are you surprised? I wore my nifty black fedora and got a lot of compliments, so that was nice. But I’m pretty exhausted today, so I’m going to call it a night.
