I've decided to enrol in a class or two to either brush up on certain skills that I used to have (e.g. playing the guitar, drums or piano, singing, judo, working with glass, ballroom dance or language classes) or to pick up some new skills (e.g. life drawing, a new sport, swing dance or a new language). Going through the list, I've eliminated the following:
guitar, drums and piano: since all I have to do is practice on my own to "shake off the rust". Besides, I'd just sold my drums and don't have a piano. *sniff*So that pretty much left language classes. I'll either brush up on Italian or Russian, or take up Portuguese. I've enquired at one of the places that I know and they're ok with me checking out the appropriate level classes before settling on one, which is nice. First stop: Beginner's Portuguese.
singing: because it's lame. Heh, no, I figured that I'd consider it when my voice starts changing due to T, it'll probably come to better use then.
judo: I'm already trying to recover from current injuries. I might wait until my muscles can provide my problem joints a little more support before hitting the mat again.
glass: Too expensive for too little results. I'm starting to think about potential costs for T and surgery, so maybe it's a good time to start being a little more careful about money.
ballroom and swing dance: Don't have no one to go with. :( Besides, it may be a little easier for the instructor to understand that I want the guy's part once I'm a little ways into T.
life drawing: Or any drawing for that matter. I picked up a book from a library and am learning from that (with much success I might add) so why pay someone to do the same thing?
a new sport: see judo.
