Yatah!!!!

I did it! it was a lame, half-hearted mumble, I'll have to admit. But regardless, the first step was made. Pushing through the fears of seeming hopelessly awkward and blatantly alien, I stepped towards the gym worker at the front desk, received my membership card and uttered the word that I have been using in all of my email as of late but have never used in real life:

Cheers.
