I get that, and I hope the quality of feedback, workshopping, and the people you meet are excellent. I had the same feeling about "Did I just waste a chunk of change?" When I took a couple of acting classes in '24. In my case, they turned out great, and I had so much fun, and I got exactly what I wanted out of them. I wish the same for you -- but even more for you as an actual writer. I didn't really have any intention of pursuing acting (I like doing it, but I am not cut out for pursuing it on even the most basic level).
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Earthquakes are weird.
I was in northern Pakistan when the 1974 earthquake hit: [link]
Magnitude 6.2, and we were about 100km south of the epicenter, but because we were bouncing along on in a Jeep on a dirt road, we never noticed a thing. (If the driver noticed, he didn't mention it.) We didn't find out anything had happened until we listened to the BBC that night.
