I've been feeling a bit restless lately. When we first moved here, we were adjusting to a new city (lots of exploring and learning our way around) and new jobs, new co-workers, etc. Everything was so new that adding anything else into the mix would've been a little too much to deal with.
But after a year of adjusting, I think I've settled into a pattern. I work from 8-5, come home and eat dinner, work out, and read or watch TV before bed. I feel very stagnant and lazy.
So I signed up for a creative writing class at UCSD - "Short Story Writing 1." It begins on September 26, and will meet every Wednesday for 9 weeks from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. It will be a good way to stretch my brain....I feel like the creative side is atrophying sometimes because I've been writing company web pages 40 hours a week for the last 11 months....and it may be a good opportunity to meet new people.
The only thing I'm nervous about is that we'll have to share our work with the rest of the class, including giving and receiving feedback. Eeek!
