Good evening! It is 1:40 AM eastern time; Thank goodness for the "mood lighting" on Virgin America's flights because they certainly calmed my mood over the noise of 5 screaming kids! The CCI campus is beautiful, and large! The average temperature is 65 degrees which is a welcome break from the 95-100 degree humidity in DC.
There are 5-7 other "students" in my class; all with various degrees of hearing loss (and definition i.e., "hearing impaired" "hard of hearing" etc). No one uses sign language. THe more stories I hear, the more thankful I am of the community and support I have of friends and family. It seems that some of the students are the only deaf people in their town or even county and their struggles to communicate are profound.
Training officially kicks off at 9AM. Can't wait!
