    Also understand, FAP is a professional, fairly competitive club with many experienced fencers - we are all really nice and we don't bite. Most open bouting is electric - although there might be some dry saber, not my night. There are all skill levels at the club, but FAP takes training all its athletes seriously. While I compete infrequently I train with a great deal of intensity - my coaching is very much the same as those with higher ambitions.

    As a member of FAP I am 99% certain you can just walk in and join as an adult member. That gets you open bouting on the nights for your weapon and use of the weight room. If you ask about taking group instruction then you will be assessed in terms of your skill level to be placed in the correct class. Your skills might also be assessed if you want private coaching to see if group instruction would be more beneficial prior to private instruction.

    If, however, the only thing you want to do is come in and fence - its a business, they won't say no to you. As long as you say - yes I've know how to fence, and yes I have all the appropriate equipment you should be fine.
  3. If only I had a club where I could practice. FAP is the only place here is Philly outside of the universities where I can fence. I went to their site and apparently you have to take some kind of skills test or something and I'm not interested in that. A friend of a friend went there and he was turned down b/c I guess he wasn't that good. Whatever that is. I just want to fence. So for now, I fence no where. I'm looking at possibly going to a club in Jersey, I just don't want to go too far.

......well my hs reunion is a little over 2 months away. I was looking forward to it, now I really don't care if it happens at all. Why? B/c I'm planning it. By myself. No help. Just a "way to go" and a "thanks for looking out for the class of 2000" from my classmates. Really? That's it. How bout ya'll help with the planning, purchasing decorations, favors, etc. I can see myself now...it's the night before the reunion and I'm all hunched over an iron press transferring iron-ons

Just got home from Legal research & writing class. One of my well.....ditzier classmates was (is) having problems in the class. She didn't know how to locate a case in the paralegal stacks and she said she wanted me to show her how to do it one day. We're like 8 weeks in at this point in this accelerated class and I really can't believe that she doesn't know how to do this. Locating a case and now statutes is like basic. We learned that in week 2.

I told her I would help her. When

911: What! A weird day?

by on 04-08-2010 at 01:51 AM
Disclaimer: This post is really long. It rambles. It's incoherent. There are grammar mistakes. It's pretty much a rant about my day and some of the crazy things that happened. Yes some. I didn't list them all b/c well.....the post would be longer. So don't read it. But if that wasn't a deterrent read it if you want to.

It's almost midnight, I've just gotten home and I haven't eaten since about 11:30 am so this may not be entirely coherent.

Let's see I witnessed two crimes
