I'm thinking that I'm going to have much less time for AD when I get back to Indiana on Thursday. Spring Semester starts in 1 week! Aaaahhhh!!!!!
 
Ember - I think it was in the Deaf New through Current Events. It was regarding a case in India. India is one of the countries that does not allow the deaf to drive. Heck, from what I understand, the deaf are not allowed much of anything and are finally beginning to assert themselves. Here is the USA, deaf and hoh are allowed to drive with certain restrictions or not. In Florida, I am required to have both outside mirrors and my rear view mirror. That is all.
 
I am thinking that I wish some people wouldn't talk as loud while on the phone. I was returning to my room with a cup of coffee and overheard my nephew talking to my second sister. The door to his room has been removed & all that is there is a curtain. & I really wish I hadn't, this is what was being said:
"Aunt Ellen, ya know the difference between Aunt Juli & Mom is? Mom complains when she doesn't have anything to do. I noticed that there is no camaraderie between you guys. It's like she's been gone for 10-15 years then suddenly she returns and dumps all of her problems on everyone. Who does she think she is? And she just took over a room, without thinking about anyone else...."
I stopped listening at this point cause it hurt too much. This is what they really think of me? Unbelievable!

Wondering how I am ever going to pass my required public speaking class, when I can't hear what other people are 'speaking' about...

I'm kinda over challenges at the moment but I do have a defect I like to refer to as "I've got this" complex thats how I learned to snowboard (hit a tree) and skateboard (broke my tailbone on half pipe) rollerblade (ouch my poor ass and left ankle) ect ect ect :giggle:
 
Sorry 'gabb' was rude what I mean is don't you need to give feedback... I was told it was a big part of your grade

Hearing nor the lack of it is not a basis for safe driving. No State bars deaf folks from obtaining a driver's license. Some countries in Europe do not allow deaf folks to get said license....sheer ignorance.

And, actually, from insurance and accident statistics, deaf drivers are safer than are hearing drivers.

There's not that much of feedback necessary, really. From my experience - the presenter does all the gabbing, and if we're dozing off, its a form of feedback. ;)

If the teacher requires you to show that you understand and such.. just ask a few questions here and there, it'll look like youre participating. :)

We're still in quarters. Started back yesterday!

They are in the process of changing to semesters, however.

simply do this - "any question?" - quickly look around the room and pretend that you didn't see their hands. then you say - "thank you." and pack up your stuff and leave :)
