I wish I spoke another language sometimes, but especially this last week or so. I need to start thinking about what I'm going to start learning next. I have this desire to get back to doing something else working with my hands, but at the same time, I miss learning in the more academic sense. I've been thinking about ASL for years, and I might just try taking a class or two.

Other things I want to get back to learning/studying: raku (singeing eyebrows is uber fun), fitness (thinking about getting a group fitness instructor cert... teach TJ in a club or something), and cooking school (I'll never get that bug out of my system unless I go)... somehow I think I can find a way to bring all these things together and still keep up with the learning to knit front.

And be patient mockingbirdy... knitting with toothpicks is kinda addicting once you start. Haven't gone to laceweight yet, but plans... oh the plans :~)

As it happens, I have got into the habit recently of pulling up wikipedia in German and dictionary.com with the German/English translator, and reading the news in German. It helps. I'm also thinking of taking a class in Russian next semester. What is ASL—American as a second language?

I see you and Russian as a good pair for some reason :~) I should try the same reading thing with Spanish...

ASL = American Sign Language :~)

I studied to be an interpreter for the deaf for a while. I loved ASL. You should go for it. SAC has a great program. Brian Barwise was my favorite teacher.
