Learning the Russian Language.
It started back in 2013 when my son decided to take an entry level Russian language class at college. I told him I’d take it with him just out of general interest. He dropped the class but I trudged on learning the cyrillic alphabet, the grammar and felt my middle-aged brain build new neural networks (along with a few headaches) for midterms and pop quizzes. But it was the weekly reports the students gave on the history, food, culture — anything Russian that made me fall in love with this mysterious and captivating land of czars, caviar and snow.
Russian Script
I failed this part of the class. Early on I realized my Russian cursive was poor therefore I made the executive decision to spend my valuable time on grammar, report writing and sampling the fine Russian cuisine! ๐
Books

Homework
I made up for my poor penmanship by doing extra credit such as this crossword puzzle.
