I am talking about my current vacation and how I love studying anything about science especially with brain, mind, and consciousness. It is my passion. If you need me to translate anything into ASL, I will do it gladly!

P.S. This video is very spontaneous -- I did it in a hurry since it was my vacation. Sorry for some interrupted parts. Also, if you have any suggestions in how I can improve my sign language skills, please feel free to help me out. I want to be able to master the art of American Sign Language and use it artistically! Smile!

Transcription:
=============
Hello again. I am here on my vacation. I have a lot of books that I have been reading nonstop, burying my nose in them. I am excited because I love the topics that I am studying: neurology, science-related subjects. I will show you some books ---
[interrupted]
Hello again, sorry about that. Now what? I have magazines I want to show -- book first.
[DHEA book]
It talks about DHEA, a hormone.
[interrupted again]
Sorry about that. Here are other magazines I want to show.
[showing magazines]
A lot of books/magazines. I have been reading a lot about mind, consciousness, etc. I am thrilled. I love them. Now, my husband is getting a subscription to NewScientist and...
[looking for it]
I will show you
[one moment]
Other magazine that is related to NewScientist {showing} is, Scientific American Mind {showing}. "Lies" {showing} is so interesting! There are many different topics. Really deep even.
I thought I should share it with you, thrilled to show you all materials/topics I have been reading about.
Today, I have been reading a lot! We have computers hooked up to internet here and normally I'll be on it, but I have been reading those instead. I am addicted.
I have decided to buy more of those books to study. I did it before, but in my past, I had problems at home, bad situation so I had to drop my own study. I want to study again, deep inspecting what life's purpose is, etc. My personality is like a scientist, an explorer, and plus a spiritualist too, not like a common spirituality, but -- it is tabooed -- more like different, deep issues related to science. Connecting by using logics and experiences while being able to adapt my beliefs if needed. I enjoy philosophy and similar subjects. I don't know which topic to discuss about. There's a lot to discuss, but I think there's few examples showing what I have read so far. I have read DHEA. Oh! Remember I was interrupted before? DHEA means a brain hormone -- not really hormone -- a neurotransmitter. It helps with -- DHEA can break down into two separate hormones (can't recall what they were called).
[Reviewing, but unsuccessful]
Anyways, the words are too long for me to remember. I have to study vocab. some more, but I know that it breaks down into two. This first hormone is for female or male. Anyways, it has a lot of information.
I have read about hypnosis, tricks and tips to improve memory recall -- know those memory contest? They remember a lot easily. It tells how -- interesting. They use the same technique. I have used that technique before, but I don't study/practice it deeply. I maybe focus and improve on that some more. And discuss about dreaming, what it is really about. There is a new study that have changed the concept of dreaming and from there, I see how different it is. Do I agree with it 100%? Not really. Other one is magnetic cure. I thought it was also interesting. A lot of issues I am excited reading about. I wonder, do you also enjoy studying those subjects? Or is it too hard to understand? Oh, I can study and translate it into ASL for you if needed. I enjoy it. It is my passion studying them. I just thought I'd share. Enjoy your time! I will go and enjoy my remaining vacation time. Ok, see you later.
Oh! I forgot something! See you later.

    If you want something cool to translate, try "tao de jing". Its book about philosphy. Its strange at first. :D.

  • how you make transcription without your ASL? please let me know

  • sorry, i just got it at the "more info" part, so forget what i said!!!
