En Guarde!

So, you want to hear something random? I decided to take fencing lessons. They only went from September to the end of October, but it was really fun. Don't ask me why I decided to do it, I just did. You should've seen Travis's face when I told him I wanted to take fencing lessons. "Oh! Uh...okay...are you serious?"

It's much harder than it looks. I came home sore every Wednesday night and was limping around my classroom every Thursday.The class started out with about 6 students, but one by one they dropped out, and only two of us survived...champions of the beginning fencing class! What can I say? I'm a natural! Luckily, we were both left-handed, so that made fighting easier...easier for me to find my target and STRIKE! (by the way, in the bottom photo it looks like the epee [sword] is bent...it's actually supposed to be like that!)
