Week One

Hi, my name is Lacey and I'm a going into my second year at NoVa. I'm taking Sociology 200 because it was one of the options for my major. My major is Liberal Arts with a certificate in American Sign Language Interpretation. My language is Sign Language and I will be taking my ASL 5 this summer. I want to be an interpreter for the government and I thought Sociology would help me understand how and why people act and react the way that they do. Interpreters sometimes have to deal with clients that unhappy with their bosses or other people in general. 


After NoVa, I would like to transfer to either Univeristy of Virginia or Virginia Tech. UVa has a Sign Language program and V-Tech accepts Sign Language as a language (most colleges in Virginia do not.)


In my free time I read a lot of different books, usually non-fiction but I read art books and nature books as well. I do watch T.V. and I watch Community, Fringe, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, and Freaks and Geeks. I listen to a lot of Indie music and my favorite band is Voxtrot and my favorite singer is Ellie Goulding. 


On the weekends I practice songs with my friend Nate (I sing and he plays the guitar) and we go to different open mics during the week.


I drive a 1996 Buick Century, that has a busted bumper. It is my baby, but I'm am looking for a new car. Preferably I would like a 1989 Buick Electra that is a manual transmission, but I need to save a little money and find one that is in better shape the one down the street. For now, I shall drive my beat-up old Buick.


That is pretty much all about me. :)

  1. Hi Lacey! I'm Kelly...a fellow Sociology student. I'm suprised to hear that a lot of VA schools don't recognize sign as a language. Good luck in your studies!
