I've lost track of what day it is. With long meets like these, the days tend to blend into each other. Anyway, I know i haven't posted on the opening ceremonies yet, so here it is:
A and I were chosen as flag bearers. The ceremonies were at the pool - so our only responsibility was to march around the pool - sounds easier than it was!! We waiting for about 15 minutes standing up, talking to other teams. Not much talking as it was mostly signing. There are some similar signs from language to language - such as tomorrow, swim, before and after, and then I can do the alphabet in both american and British sign language.
So communication ends up being 50% random handmovements and 50% facial expressions. But we somehow all understand each other - and if we are completely confused- writing it down on a piece of paper or cell phone always works!
