I’d like to preface this post by saying I love my new (real) job. Absolutely love it. Every day, I’m excited to get to work because I never know what it’s going to be like. It’s interesting and the people are SO nice. And the time always flies. How can you not love that?
But.
But. There are still some small adjustments to be made. when I got home on Friday, I was not a happy camper. I had gotten so excited for the weekend to be here so I could do lots of Exciting Weekend Things, but I didn’t really plan any Exciting Weekend Things, so the weekend was a bit of a let down.
(And on Friday afternoon it felt like a let down made even worse by someone’s surprise basketball both Friday night (8:15pm) and right smack in the middle of Saturday (1pm). Not family friendly. And it didn’t help that it was rainy and wildly windy all weekend long. Grrr.)
But back to the point. I’ve come up with a solution. I am going to plan Exciting Weekend Things so I won’t have such huge Friday let down. Best defense is a good offense.
My solution? These awesome art classes!
(And sorry, this is really mostly for Dubliners, unless you want to come VISIT!)
Have you heard of these classes at Trinity College Dublin that are open to the public and really pretty cheap? They have life drawing, painting, and lots of pottery classes. Has anyone tried them? What did you think?
I’m planning to take this jewelry making course on February 24th, and I really want to do one of these lino print courses soon – like this weekend? Who’s with me?
And quick question for all the crafty Irish readers, anyone know where I could take a letterpress class? I think that would be a great Exciting Weekend Thing.
These courses at the National Print Museum sound awesome – I’m waiting on their new 2011 list of courses and I’ll share those as soon as they come in. Now wouldn’t they be a fun thing to plan a visit to Dublin for?
