Cheesecake is good, nice and creamy, very decadent, but truffles have that &#8220;chocolate&#8221; edge that seems to draw me to it. I have a feeling I might just take them both.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>Writing<\/b>: Since my muse seems to have left me (another thing in the long line of things I am currently blaming on my apartment), I was thinking that perhaps a writing course might give me the kick in the pants that I need. Unfortunately the writing course that I was interested in taking last term is not actually offered this term, so I am left feeling as if I have to &#8220;compromise&#8221; and take another one. Plus, some mention something along the lines of a &#8220;weekly assignment&#8221;, which, given my current lack of ideas, might prove to be more of a deterant than a stimulant. But time may tell &#8230;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>&#8220;Crafts&#8221;<\/b>: I&#8217;ve always liked the creative end of things. The problem with these is that they don&#8217;t show you a picture of what it&#8217;s going to look like in the end, and since I tend to lean away from the countrified look that goes along with many make-it-yourself kind of things, I&#8217;m reluctant to spend money on something that I may hate in the end.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe miscellanous ones include first aid for pets, belly dancing, and clutter control. Ever since I started thinking of moving, I&#8217;ve started thinking of moving all my crap and have realized it would be better to banish it all before I move so that I can actually accomplish the transition in a day. Of course, hiring movers to move the big stuff will help out too \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an attempt to inject some fun into my life (some days I think I&#8217;m getting &#8230; old), I&#8217;ve decided to take some &#8220;fun&#8221; courses at our local college.
