What Do You Do?

Last week I found out (to my dismay) that the only class I'm required to take during my final semester in undergrad will be an online class, and that I won't have a reason to step foot on campus except to attend a lab for one hour on Thursdays. OK, I am appreciative for the time I now have to work like a mad woman to stack my chips before I enter the real world, but I have to admit that I'm afraid of becoming bored out of my mind! I have a list of goals I plan to complete by May, such as be consistent with the blog (smile), study for and take the GRE, blah blah blah, but I wanted to do some things that weren't exactly school or work-related. So, I jotted down a list of hobbies I'm interested in taking up during my plenteous hours of free time, and boy am I excited to get started!

Here goes:

1. Crochet- I know it will take a while for me to get to the point of making a beautiful quilt, but I'm thrilled by the challenge of creating something with my own hands. I'm going to start with a scarf.

2. Cooking/Baking-I'm not a bad cook (if I say so myself), but now that I'm out of the dorm and I have a kitchen, I can take my culinary skills to the next level. Yum:)

3. Painting/Photography- I've never been much of an artist (can't do much better than stick figures), but I think there's something therapeutic about painting, and something completely abstract about photography. I don't know how far I'll get with these two interests, but I'll definitely give it a whirl.

4. Yoga- I am soooo pumped about trying yoga. I even found a very inexpensive beginners series in Huntsville. Who would've thought? (By the way, if anyone wants to join me, let me know because I'm a little nervous about going by myself.)

And finally . . .

5. Foreign language- Needless to say, everyone should take an interest in learning at least one new language. And since I don't want to get too ambitious, I'm going to work on perfecting the foreign language I'm most familiar with-Spanish.

Oh yeah, I've always wanted to visit the Huntsville Museum of Art, so I guess I will this semester since time permits.

I'll keep you updated on my activity. The plan is to have pics accompany my forthcoming posts about my new hobbies. This will be interesting. Can't wait:)
