Interpreter's Nightmare

Sunday March 6, 2005
Last night i had this dream. I was finally interpreting at an elementary or middle school. The teacher would not talk loudly, just whispering or mouthing and used gesstures!!! so i couldnt hear what i had to interpret. finally the teacher left the room and i went after her and told her she needed to talk loudly so i can interpret. i forgot what she said but i think her expression showed that she thought i was being disrespectful towards her. she also thought that the kids would be fine if she communicated like that. I could see those poor kids faces. some of them tried hard to look at her lips and the other ones were either lost or playing around.
