Skating \o/

I just registered for a figure skating class! It's a seven-week group lesson that starts in early May, aimed at teens and adults with abilities from zip to...what looks like it might be single-revolution jumps. You just keep taking the same class as you progress at your own pace, apparently. I have a feeling I won't need to worry about jumps for a while, though, given that the first item on the first test level is "falling down and getting up." ;)

The really-astoundingly-cheap price includes admission and skate rental to one practice session and one public skate session per week, which is handy since I work literally across the street from the rink.

(That's really what drove this. I've wanted to take lessons on and off since watching Kristi Yamaguchi win the 1992 Olympics when I was seven, but never had quite the right combination of having the money, having the time, being in a city that had a rink, and being so close to said rink on a regular basis.)

Next on the exercise + social activity + skill-building + money hemorrhaging agenda: Inquiring about ballroom lessons at local studios. Because Monday nights at the dance club far away from me are just not ever going to happen.
