The Helpful Rules of Galley (passed along from one hearing person to another & or aquired on my own)

Rule #1 (biggest rule) Don't talk on your phone unless you are in the confines of your dorm room.  Deaf people might judge you (most likely because they think its rude or a "show off-y" thing to do).  Makes sense.

Rule #2 Classes are freezing even though its 200 degrees outside..so bring a sweater.

Rule #3 Don't assume there won't be music around because we're around Deaf people...sometimes they own much louder & more impressive speakers than you do.

Rule #4 Don't try and sign pizza, accidentally sign vagina, realize it and then act like vagina is really the word for pizza.  They know you signed vagina.

Rule #5 Deaf people don't care that you can hear..so if they make loud noises, get over it.

Rule $6 Keep your key EVERYWHERE you go.  Need in your room? key.  Need to pee? key.  Need to get into your building.. well, your i.d., but it works like a key.  

...this is it for now, there will probably be more to come...very soon.
