I am now an Earth Bender

I am in a ceramics class, and let me tell you. It is fabulous! I love it! Please read my list as I explain just why this class is so wonderful:
1. I am pretty sure that my teacher is gay,
2. I am doing it with my best friends,
3. My ceramics class is basically the only time that I ever see one of my best friends,
4. The weekly tradition of going to U-Swirl afterwards when we are all covered in clay is delightful,
5. My clay turned my hands orange (it looks like I tried out tanning lotion on my hands and no where else),
6. Brenda and I have learned to become one with the clay,
7. I discovered that I am a clay whisperer,
8. The unhealthy love that Brenda and I have for Avatar: The Last Air Bender series has come out to play when we decided that throwing pots is equivalent to becoming an earth bender,
9. The joy and happiness that you get when you finally finish a pot is the best! And every time that you eat out of that bowl, you (mainly I) get filled with a sense of happiness and pride.
Tuesday is my very last day of this class. But I have learned so much and I think that I am ready for a break. One day I plan on taking another ceramics class and becoming pro. If only throwing pots was an Olympic sport, it would be my goal to go to the Olympics for my ceramic skills. Also, one day I will put up pictures of us in the ceramics studio.
