I will say that I really, really loved both sides of the sword class this semester. Astrid was really drawn in by the stories, but I never expected her to take in the swordplay part of it as much as she did. There's something I would have never expected to happen, but it did, and I loved it. it's not something I suspect she'll ever be good at, but it's definitely something she wouldn't have discovered otherwise, and that was just really, really fun for me.
