Hi from down here in SA

Hi everybody at Aikiweb!
So. . .what should I say?
I'm 21 and in my final year at university. I'm studying Information Technology. I've been doing Aikido at our club for about 6 weeks and i'm already hooked, line and sinker. (Although my gi is a little big. . .) Aikido really gives you something else to do than sit on your butt and study.
I have never done any martial arts before except ballet (if that counts ) My father says girls don't do stuff like that.
I like PC games, reading, writing, horseriding and I'm a big Anime fan.I really like the Samurai anime's like Samurai 7 and Rurouni Kenshin.
Nice to meet all of you wonderful people! And, no, don't try to deny it. Of course you are wonderful, you like Aikido.

Carien
