learn a second language (read all 2 entries…)
Spanish

I was able to take a online Language class through my work. I couldn’t decide which language to learn, was leaning towards Russian, Spanish, Swedish, French, German. Decided that living in Seattle that Spanish probably made the most sense, plus Spain and South America are on my list of future travel places, so theres a chance i could use it.



take an art class
four classes now!

I;ve taken four classes now. A beginning drawing class, and three introductory watercolor painting classes. I find its easier and more enjoyable than I ever imagined it would be, its not like any of my paintings are really that good, but they’re not nearly as bad as I thought they would be; and some parts of painting are much easier and random than I thought they’d be and some parts are much more difficult and complicated.



Learn to play a musical instrument (read all 2 entries…)
recorder

i bought a recorder. My nephew is playing the recorder in his 5th grade music class, and I have a friend who plays recorder in a recorder group(? 15-20 people who get together once a month and play renaissance recorder music).
The recorder in someways is fairly easy to learn, but is also more difficult that I thought it would be, I find its difficult to get many of the notes to sound right, either I’m not covering the holes correctly, or not using the correct breathing.
