Deaf Conference at Swarthmore College

ugh. first to dark, now too light... heh

So I forgot to mention this last vlog, but I went to this sweet Deaf conference at Swarthmore College the other weekend. My buddy Jesse (deafie from Penn State) went with me, and it was just awesome. It was so good! They basically split up the lectures into two parts: the first was dedicated to research on sing language- on different language forms around the world and on the development (and fading) of sign languages as times change and technology flourishes; the second part focused on Deaf cultural aspects, also around the world- Deaf cultures, problems they face in nonindustrial societies, struggles... SO cool. VERY anthrpological, I tell you! (Jesse says I'm not too shabby in the signing game. He explained that expressive skills in general are more important in communication than the actual knowledge and use of accurate vocabulary and grammar and shit, so that makes me happy! but I know I need to practice, and I should take a class...)
So I made this at 2am, and I was just out of the shower with a wet head, which wouldn't stay out of the way. I didn't finish all the homework I wanted to get done, but I was tired and the bed was calling.
I am beginning to notice that all of them get cut off at the end, so I'll just leave 5 seconds at the end of the taping for a buffer.
