Michele, thank you for the link!
Marvin, thanks for the advice. I'll take it easy as long as I know it'll be a multiple sitting. This girl sat for three sessions, and the class is well structured, so there's no wasting time. I think the teacher expects great things from me and has a tendency to try to rush me.
I'll do a weekly post so you guys can see if I'm heading in a good direction or just blowing it.
