Take an evening course in something unrelated

"What if one night a week belonged to something completely different?"

Why this is so fun

There is something quietly brilliant about walking into a room on a Tuesday night where nobody knows what you do or what grade you got in the Leaving Cert. You are just a person trying something new, whether that is welding in a Galway workshop or arguing about Nietzsche in a Cork classroom. You might discover a talent you never expected, or simply find that one evening a week makes the rest of the week feel lighter. It is yours, no pressure attached.

I signed up for the ceramics course at the Westmeath ETB mostly because my friend Orla dared me to pick something I'd never searched on Google before.
