In the meantime...

I'm considering signing up for a rowing class next quarter through the little extension program at my school. I know someone whose blog I read rows, I just can't remember who (Claris?), but if anyone has suggestions/do it/don't do it/advice, I'd love to hear. I have been gradually letting myself slide this past month. Breakup, post-breakup drama, exams, the MPRE, job-hunting, job-not-getting-picked-stress, and everything else has led me to abandon at least some parts of my exercise routine. Plus, the Guacamole Kid has headed back to his native land of Alaska, which means no more walking partner for me. I've always wanted to learn to row, but I'm scared that I'm in too terrible of shape or that they'll take one look at me and laugh their fit, tight little asses off. Opinions?
