This blog posting is about clubs and organizations that I might join. One club that I am thinking about joining is the White Course Book Club. They are a club that meets in White Course once a month, usually the last Wednesday of the month, to discuss two books a fiction and a non-fiction book. I have been meaning to join the club for several months but unfortunately every time they have had a meeting I have had something else I was supposed to be doing at the same. I was especially sorry about not being able to make the meeting this last month as the fiction book they read for October was Persuasion by Jane Austen. This is a book that I have read and like a lot so I would have enjoyed discussing it with other people. I hope that this month I will have time to read at least one of the books (either the fiction or the non-fiction book) and that I will be able to attend the meeting at the end of November. Joining this club would help me meet other people who live near me and would also encourage me to read more. I have always loved to read and was part of a book club in high school as well as briefly at a bookstore near the college I went to as an undergraduate. Both of these clubs introduced me to new books that I enjoyed but would most likely not have read otherwise. Joining the book club at White Course will likewise introduce me to new books and authors that I will enjoy reading and will allow me to share my love of reading.
Another club or organization I am considering joining is the fencing club at Penn State. I was part of a fencing club as an undergraduate and enjoyed that a lot. So, I am thinking I might want to continue with that. This would also give me a way of getting more exercise. I hope to attend one of the meetings of the fencing club soon, maybe next week, so that I can decide if I want to join. One thing I need to check is how competitive it is. I am primarily interested in fencing for fun and for exercise and am not really interested in competing. So, that is another club I am considering joining.
Both the clubs mentioned above would give me other thing to concentrate on outside of my academic life and would play different roles in my life as a graduate students, one would encourage me to continue reading for fun and the other give me a way to get more exercise.

Hi, Carolyn.
I didn't know there's a book reading club in White Course. Can I get some information on how I can join it? Thanks.
I think to join it you have to show up to a meeting. I am not sure when the November meeting is. There is usually a flyer up at the Community center at White Course saying when the next meeting is.
