Spring! Please come back
So we were all enjoying the smells, sounds, muckiness of spring around here. We even had a pre-summer day on Friday around here. Then it happened. We got snow yesterday. It snowed a lot of the day. (It didn't amount to much, and by the time I actually was able to go home around 7:30 pm it had all melted- save the stuff hiding in very secluded/shaded areas). Then this morning: -5 C and the longjohns came back out. It felt nice to be warm on the walk to school!! (I can tell that my hair is longer now, I don't mind the walk without a hat at that temperature now...so that must mean it's getting long.)
Peter is off on his trip soon! I hope he has great opportunities and experiences on/beside the tracks/roads!
Class is about to start- I should go! I'm learning about hearing aids and cochlear implants soon. (Got to see some of them yesterday--very interesting stuff!!)

Interesting but very controversial, especially in Deaf circles--some people think that cochlear implants being forced on children is very wrong--especially if the child was Deaf from birth--if a person LOST their hearing gradually, then I can see the merit, but if it is just something foreign that is introduced it ends up being more of a nuisance and an issue than a help. I have a video that you may wish to watch--it is close-captioned for the hearing as it is all in ASL...next time I see you you can borrow it...show it to your class just for a view from the Deaf Community and their point of view!
I guess no one wants to comment on Spring...or the come-and-go talents of this one!
I had an interesting discussion about your comment Effie...we'll have to chat about it at some point too. It's an interesting culture/circle.
So I was driving around in snow last night. That wasn't making me very happy, but then again, neither is the -3 C that seems to be going on right now!
SPRING where are you?!
(Word ver- slpes? Has spring slipped? Does it Sleep?
