You can't speak? Do you know sign language? If not I could totally teach you. It can be easier to use as a method of communication than say writing down everything you want to say to people. My name's Abby, by the way.
As for things to see? Lawrence is kind of dull compared to places like Washing D.C., New York City and other such big cities. Though in the time frame you say you have left, it would be impossible to see everything. Unless someone with super speed here could take you everywhere.
