New Hobby

[mothwing]

I've enrolled in one of the arts classes (which are really cheap, they're €25 for 18 sessions) that are offered by Crocky's university for students. I'm looking forward to it, and I'm quite surprised at how much fun drawing is - after my nearly-ten-year-break I didn't really expect it to be anything other than frustrating, slow, and boring, but now, after two months, I'm quite glad I have taken this up as a hobby again.

What I'm especially pleased with is that I am so uninvested in it that learning to improve ought to be painfree - if this were teaching or writing, my ego would get in the way, and I'm really insecure about things I'm invested in and I'd be crushed if I found that I'd made a mistake because it is so, SO important for me to Get Things Right. Since this is drawing and I've only been doing it for two months, I couldn't care less.

Also, Crocky says she'd come along, and I'd love to get to do things with her.

Job-wise, I've filled in my application as an official emergency supply teacher for this summer. I like the sound of that.

That sounds really nice! I'm a bit envious, honestly, because I'd love to take a drawing class or a dancing class and just. don't. get. it. done. But thumbs up for you! I hope you enjoy it.

Interesting job title *gg*

It's even better in German: Feuerwehrlehrerin. *g*

I only hope I'll ever go; the first two lessons are during the time I'm still busy with exams, so I'm not too optimistic about lesson no.2, though I'll try to make it, obviously. Dancing classes are on our list, too, though we have to find a queerfriendly club that's affordable.
