\\ deaf day \\

so for sign language today we have to be deaf. that means we can't hear and you can't sign so we are on our own for finding a way to communicate!

when i walked into first period i spaced that it was silent day and cassidy featherstone greets me with her ear plugs in.. what a cute girl cause she had an extra pair for me. i don't get how deaf people can go through the day with hearing people because 1. having the ear plugs in was nice because i couldn't hear all the annoying things i usually would. like the annoying kids in my computer tech class and paper ripping.

its nice to kind of have a break from that but paying attention in class was kind of hard especially when you are taking notes the whole class period in history and you don't really know what is going on.

but its terrible because you can't hear your friends talking. (even though i take 5 minute breaks in the halls and talk because i can't go a whole day without talking its impossible..but really impossible.

to all the deaf people in the world. i am sorry! i know none of you really read my blog but if you do and you are deaf know that i feel terrible for you.. even though it is nice at times when you want to ignore someone or something its hard. it is so terribly hard. and hearing people are oblivious to the fact if you yell you still can't hear.. #hearingpeopleprobs

but aside from not hearing i can still read and i am so grateful for that because Taylor Bell the sweet kid he is texted me last night after he read my blog post and said i should try out for accapella..but i didn't know about that because i am a closet and shower singer. i don't like to have people hear me sing so i sing for myself. but he texted me  some of the best quotes.. (he sent them in pictures but i can't get pictures so he took the time to type each one out! so nice) and here is my favorite one!

" Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to critisize others. live in the faith that the whole world is on your side as long as you are true to the best that is you!" - Christian D. Larson (this one is my favorite one and also the longest)

i didn't vote for an attorney general yesterday when i voted because 100% it was so hard! both taylor and max are amazing guys and both deserve it! good luck to both of you. you guys are truly amazing! :)
