Today I began my art classes. The whole process has been quite interesting. I'm not really sure how it works, I think I'm just paying the professor directly and I believe it's the same cost for 2 classes as it is for 4 (about $30 a month). I wasn't really sure what class I was taking until I showed up this morning, it turns out it's a figure drawing class using paint (monochromatic for those interested) instead of charcoal. Despite the ambiguity of the situation, I thoroughly enjoyed the class and the feeling of holding a paintbrush and smelling oil and turpentine.

Several people asked me if I was coming to a different class which is on Monday and Wednesdays and I decided to go for it. I think it's a figure painting class where I can use more than one color of paint, YEAH, but who knows what it will be. Below are some photos Hannah took of the school. The clases are held in an old historic building downtown.

Today was a long day and we needed a little taste of home tonight so we are currently listening to Market Place on WFAE (NPR) online. For those of you in Charlotte, the low tonight is 32 degrees and there's a delay on I-77 and Brookshire Frwy (who's suprised). NPR quote of the day from a lawyer referring to a case involving Burger King in 1967, "My God! I'm 88 years old. I can't remember anything beyond last week!" (For the full effect get your grandfather to say it)

   I'm very surprised about the traffic jam in Charlotte. But then, I live in North Alabama.
