meisa's lagoon

i welcome myself back to the blogosphere. feelin' free and ready to write, i think. only the coming days will tell i suppose.
i dedicate my re-entry into blogging to the discovery center - chicago's lifelong learning center. last month i searched and searched for a place to start arabic lessons. there weren't too many options out there, but the discovery center was more than willing. once i got there and flipped through the catalog, i learned that they were also more than willing to teach classes like "learn to be a private detective and earn 6 figures a year!!", "the basics of being a dominatrix", and "learn to strip for your man". i can't imagine signing up for these classes, much less taking them in this atmosphere - an all but condemned building with stagnant water an inch high on the floor, pounding dance classes all around you, no heat, and a chalkboard that practically fell over every time it was written on. i mean, come on, if i want to learn to be a dominatrix, i need a proper chalkboard for my teacher to draw on!!!
