So, whatcha been doing for the last month?

I can't believe it has been nearly a month since school got out. I've been busy, and at this point in the summer, I always ask myself, "So, what HAVE you been doing...?" Not being in school always seems like the ticket to freedom, but it doesn't always mean I have plenty of time for everything I want. In the meantime, I have...
  • Done multiple loads of laundry
  • I think I've vacuumed once or twice
  • Put skirts together for a church thingy
  • Watched my sister in-law serge said skirts (she has some pretty sweet skills)
  • Interpreted...a lot. I put in my first 12-hour day of interpreting a few weeks ago. I've done "half" a day before while working for my dad, but never as an interpreter. I wouldn't recommend it.
  • Gone to a few yoga classes
  • Jogged around the park a time or two
  • Went to an interpreting training workshop
  • Went to a UT-ASLTA conference
  • Skipped the Region 5 RID conference
  • Attempted to organize summer activities for my ASL students. Haven't been overwhelmed by the response...yet...
  • Went to see Karate Kid (love Jackie Chan!)
  • Baked a few batches of bread, and tried out the Kaiser roll recipe in Peter Reinhart's book
  • Made a batch of 30 Kaiser rolls for the UT-ASLTA conference
  • Tried some wicked good ice cream recipes
  • Carried around a book for a class I'm taking that I haven't managed to get more than halfway through yet. Better get crackin', book's due on Monday.
  • Attended my first week of summer classes at WSU
  • Pulled a few weeds
  • Brought in a yard of dirt for the garden
