I was going to say there wasn't really anything I wanted to learn how to do. But after thinking for a while I realised that it was because I'm comfortable in my bubble, learning new things will hopefully push me out and make life more interesting.
Learning Italian has always been on my to learn list. I did at one point attempt to learn it with a friend but it never really worked out. I always feel really bad as a native English speaker that there is foreign people out there who can speak English just as well as can as well as about five other languages. So maybe learning one language will make me feel less embarrassed (and more Italian).
If there was a way to gain the ability to story tell, I would like that. I'm pretty good at orally retelling something that happened to me but I really would like write down some of the stories I have in my head.
On a totally unrelated note I saw the Queen today. Never in my life did I think I would actually see the Queen in real life. It was such a bizarre experience. I knew she was in Glasgow but I didn't go out of my way to see her. I had started some work experience today and I was on my way to get my lunch, when there's a whole bunch of police motorcycles, the girl who I was with and I initially think there's been an accident before it clicks what is happening. And then the royal car comes and the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are just sitting there. It's one of those moments that is so surreal. I've seen these face pretty much all the time, in the case of the Queen, everyday pretty much. But seeing them flesh and bones, passing by me was just strange. There's no real conclusion to this other me gibbering on about how weird it was.
