30 Days of Lists: Day 24

Things I Wish I Had a Knack For Learning

1. Some sort of programming language that allowed me to build websites (CSS, HTML). At this point I rely on FrontPage (which isn't compatible with the newest version of Windows!) and only have basic HTML memorized.
2. Memorizing random information--useless or helpful, I'd take either. My memory stinks.
3. Manual photography. I don't remember a thing from the awful photography class I took in college and would love to know how to use my manual settings on my Nikon.
4. Directions or Maps. I am directionally challenged! I've gone around the block and it's like a whole new world. (If you think I'm kidding, ask my sister--she was in the car.) I still have to print out directions if I'm going to my doctor's office here in town! A bonus would be it would help me with my job. Maybe I wouldn't have to spend all day looking up locations on YahooMaps.
   
5. French. Or Spanish. I took Japanese in high school, which I still think was funnest in 8th grade but useless the rest of the time. I really wish I had taken French, but Spanish would be the most helpful because of where I live. But who is practical in high school?

Ha! I bet you thought I was going to miss today's post. Surprise, surprise! I made it. Just in time, too! It's 10:15 pm. If I hadn't checked my email and seen a comment my sister made on another post I would have gone straight to bed. I'm exhausted because she & I spent all evening running around doing Grown Up Things like making appointments for me to get my car serviced next week and having new tires put on and getting the spare tire fixed (which is actually a real tire, thank you previous owner!) and making to do lists for next week before the transplant.
