"I drank what?"

[serinde]

nedlnthred and I went down to Nicole's for a stitch-and-bitch today, where briony530 and murieldechimay and others were already assembled; and by the end of the night, after I had been plied with hot 16th C. programming[1] and wine and food, I sobered up to find I'd agreed to teach two classes[2] at Hrim Schola.

Because, you know, I wasn't already reaching critical anxiety levels about everything else going on.

[1] "Dangerous Beauty" followed by "The Tudors".
[2] Specifically, "Beginner's Guide To Picking Fabric For Your Project", and "Cote-Hardie Engineering For The Large-Breasted". Now to see if anyone's already doing either of those...

Think of it as practice for getting an advanced degree. Getting your MA and PhD will no doubt include a lot of public presentation.
Or, think of it is another 'sign that alcohol has become a problem in your life': Do you volunteer to do things while intoxicated that you normally would not do when sober?
Anyway, anything you present would have to be better than the last SCA class I attended, where in the presenter advised a lot of newbies that didn't know any better that "you can make any kind of medieval garb using a princess seamed dress pattern from the Big Three and a peasant blouse pattern for a chemise."

This reminds me that I still haven't posted the ‘inspiring’ story of the talk I gave a few Mondays ago, which I also sort of accidentally volunteered for.

It was only two glasses of wine. I occasionally exaggerate for effect.

um, you know you don't have to do anything that makes you feel overwhelmed, don't you? If they scare you that badly, pick one and a later date to do the second. Just sayin'...

Or, more so, "Sorry, upon review I don't think I'm able to make the commitment required to put together a class on this".

In the event, it is moot. Someone's already teaching both of those, or near enough to them.

It's more that I think this is my brain playing games with me. Only I'm not sure what side it's on.

OTOH, I still think you should sit down and write out the outline for the classes as *you* think they should be taught, before you lose the mental thread. I say this because my money's on your version being better than the ones being taught. You're smarter than the average bear. And I'm betting that the other class for big-busted women is going to be focused on the 16th C because that's what that household does.
