First, is learning Shorthand.
I was inspired by a lawyer in my church's home ward. She told me that she had learned it before college and now used it for taking notes in the court room. At one point in time, her notes were called forth as evidence. She didn't want this cause it would go against her case. Luckily the opponent claimed "I don't know how to read THIS! Have her translate it!" and the judge didn't make her do it.
There. Proof. Shorthand is tight.
Anyways, so I've always wanted to learn and now I am teaching myself! It's quite fun, but I'm, like, on a 2nd grade level. I'm currently doing exercises like "Write the word CAT" and I have to sound it out and such. I mostly practice in my linear algebra class because the professor is number crunching and I don't need to pay attention. I imagine I look pretty weird though...in the middle of a math class sounding out the word cat to myself...maybe I aught to just stick to sudoku in math class...
Second is picking up fencing!
This one I'm oober excited about! I've always wanted to take it up, ever since I watching the Princess Bride...no! Even before then! I've wanted to forever! It's in my very blood!!! Yes...
Anyways, I've been going for the past two weeks and I've decided I'm going to pick it up and do it. It is allegedly a life-long sport! And I need a sport to play anyways...
If you know fencing...I apologize for the bad footwork, but I wanted to share some photos we'd taken! I'm in the blue! And there's a video too ( let's hope it works! ) so...yay fencing!

To explain this video, I'm going against the instructor. The video cuts out some of the action, but you can be comforted in the fact that I lost this point :D
So...the kuh-aat is ow-oot of the baa-guh. But it's so exciting to pick up new things! Now I just have to get good at them!
