Going To CSD

On Friday I went to the California School for the Deaf. I went to the school for their open house to get extra credit for my sign language class. I took my sister and mother with me, so they could see what I had been learning in class. When we first got to the school and walked in we saw people signing to each other and I started to get nervous because I was still learning the language. We went into the book fair and looked at all of the books. As we were about to leave a woman came up to us and asked while signing if 'we were students'. I told her 'I was a student' as I signed back. We both talked and signed because we were both learning. She asked, 'if my mother and sister were my friends'. I told her 'she is my sister and she is my mother'. She asked if 'I went to CSD or Ohlone'. I told her 'no I go to CSUS'. She said, 'wow that's far'. I agreed with her and then we all walked away. After we left my sister and mom said, "wow that so cool". We then looked around the school and found the gym where they had a whole bunch of booths set up. We looked around at the booths and then went back outside. After we went outside and bought a cookie from their bake sale. We saw that there was a scavenger hunt, so we decide it would be fun to look around for the things on the list and explore the school. As we were looking around for the things on the list a man walked up to my sister and mother and signed 'if they needed help' ad they were both really confused but they said no ad my sister did the sign for 'no'. The man then signed faster to them and they were both looking at each other and then pointed at me. Another man came up to the first man and asked for help and my sister and mother came up to me telling me what had just happened. We all laughed and went to look for more things. As we went to take a picture of their mascot we heard a loud drum going off and people walked and pointing to the amphitheater. We went over to the amphitheater and sat down, and a woman was explaining what was happening as I had to try to translate what she was saying. She was signing that some students would be preforming a dance for everyone. We watched the dance and then when it was over my sister wanted to buy something for one of the booths. She bought two little hearts with the sign for 'I love you' on it. After we were done with that we left but it was still a lot of fun looking at the campus and seeing everyone signing to each other.
