Universal Studios Los Angeles

June 1, 2009 the 8th graders from the deaf school will go to Universal Studios for our end of the year trip. We will have fun at Universal. I am excited about riding Revenge of the Mummy and Jurassic Park. I never rode them before. I will be Scared!!!!!!!! I will Scream!!!!!!!!

A few of my classmates can't go because they got in trouble. So they have to stay in school. I plan to take pictures. I hope they come out good. I got these two pictures from the internet. 

Love, Amanda Conde

Phone CALL

Yesterday I talked on the telephone to my Aunt Kitty.  I said, " Hi Kitty!" 

She understood what I said!

Then I wanted to see if  I could understand her.

Kitty said, "Hi Amanda!" And I UNDERSTOOD HER!!!!!!!!!

Earring, Goldy and Popcorn

Last week I got a new ear piercing on my left ear!  See my earring?

Today was crazy hat day at my school.  I wore a Tigger hat.

Here I am with Goldy.

I asked Goldy to look at me but she refused.

Here I am eating popcorn.  I can't hear myself chew but I can hear Jennifer crunching.

Goldy LOVES string cheese!!!!!!/ 'Another CI'

I fed string cheese to Goldy.  She gave me a kiss to say, 'Thanks, Amanda!' 

I WANT ANOTHER CI!!!!!!!!!!  I want to hear on my left side too!

New blue van

funny faces.

My dog, Goldy has a big head.  I have a crooked smile.  Jennifer has a small head.
