Second week at a high school for the deaf. My high school for the deaf. My second family resides there. My language increases day by day. An agreement for me to help him with his Biology and him to help me with my basketball skills is working out quite well. (I played three basketball games this week and coach refused to sub me out. It's exhausting and painful to play 3 full games all in a row. Wednesday: it was at the end of the game with a minute left on the clock. Someone pushed me as I was about to shoot which is a foul. So I got two free shots. I quickly glanced at the scoreboard and caught the ball from the referee. 24-24. One dribble, forgot the anticipating eyes, crouched, paused and shot. Score. Missed the second. They kept the ball away from opposing team from the remainder of the game and we won. Our first win and my first basket. Yesterday I scored us 5 points. I think I am getting the hang of this whole 'game' with an orange ball and it's rules.) I'm friends with almost every high school student by now. I learned that home is not just a place where you live. It's a place of comfort, happiness and laughter. I've also been inspired by two boys to start listening to music more, to start dancing more, to have a good time. I just found an audio cable that connects my CI to the ipod I found on the counter. It actually works. I'm now looking into getting an ipod. Just two weeks ago ipods were just a piece of neat looking technology that I would never get to use. I want to fall asleep to music now. The world of music has just tripled in size for me. Hi music.
