Ready, Set, Fence!

Lately, I've been feeling pretty stagnant. I go to work, I come home. Don't get me wrong, my life is incredible. I feel secure and loved and like the possibilities are endless. I think I just feel like I haven't been learning anything new for a while [I've been out of beauty school almost 2 years now]. So to remedy this, I've decided to take a class...

and that class is....

FENCING!

You totally didn't see that coming, did you? My clients think I'm psycho, but here are my many reasons for wanting to take a fencing class.

1. I've had a hidden desire to learn "the way of the sword" since the first time I watched The Princess Bride, when I was like, 6 months old.

2. I am getting board with treadmill-ing and strip aerobics-ing. Fencing is a great way to stay active

3. It was one of the only community ed classes I wouldn't have to change my work schedule for

4. I will be learning something new!

5. I hope, one day, I'll be cool enough to sport all-white and the sweet bee-keeper protective mask.

6. I can totally challenge people to duels now, and be for-reals about it!

7. It's a lost art.

8. It's probably the closest thing to a "dance class" I'd be comfortable with

9. The class lasts 4 whole months, and was only $50! Most of the other community ed classes were only a few weeks and some cost way more than that!

10. The instructor of the class has trained 12 people for the Fencing event in the freakin Olympics! Uhh... Sweet!

11. [and probably the most important to me]. How cool is it going to be to casually say in conversation "yea, I know how to fence..."

So there you have it. 11 very logical reasons for my choice in community education classes!
