Make a list of five things you wish you could be a master of. Be sure to explain why you chose what you did.
At first I thought this was three, and I was thinking that there's no way three would be enough for what I'd wish. 
So my FIVE would be:
1. Memory (remembering things )
2. Baking
3. Mind-reading (didn't say it had to be realistic )
4. Aerial stuffs
5. Musical instruments
As for why....
1. Memory- I'm always forgetting stuff. Like, I can't remember various things I should, like appointments or buying my grad pics (I still need to do that) but I can remember other various things that don't really need remembering. Also, having a fail-proof memory would mean I don't have to study anymore! Like, I can read it once, absorb it, and be done. Next. 
2. Baking- I do enjoy baking! Not necessarily cleaning, but baking is quite fun. Measure all the ingredients out and get it into some form of batter, portion it out, put it into the oven, wait a certain amount of time, and then bam you've got some edible goodies. I've started watching Nailed It on Netflix and I'm somewhat into that- sitting at home and thinking "oh, hey, that doesn't look too bad, maybe I could do it too" Considering I've never worked with fondant or modeling chocolate,and that's what they mainly use for the decorations, that'll end well for me, won't it? Also, maybe next time there's a large party or gathering of sorts, I'll attempt something from the show and see what happens. At least there'll be a larger number of people to help eat it if it's terrible. Also, I'd like to learn how to bake more stuff- I haven't tried making a real cake yet, let alone cupcakes, so that'll be something I'd be interested in learning how to make. I took cake-decorating classes with my aunt in Texas last summer, and that was quite fun, so I'm definitely interested in finding out how those skills would translate in a more practical setting. 
3. Mind-reading- I'm the type of person where if you try to discreetly insult me, I'll likely miss the point and chalk it up as another comment. So it'd be nice to read minds and know what people really think. Along with this ability, maybe it'd also be helpful to have a mind-changing ability- the ability to change people's minds. Like, my thesis advisor, for starters, who has yet to reply me if my thesis is anywhere near decent and/or passable for the honors program. I wouldn't put it past her to be ignoring me, but hey, I'll update the honors program on Monday if she's still being quiet and not replying me, to see what they have to say. Also, if I had this mind-reading ability, I'd know if she was actually busy or really ignoring me. Then I could change her mind to say that yes, it's decent and passable as an honors thesis, get her to sign it, and let me officially graduate, for crying out loud! 
4. Aerial stuffs- that really shouldn't come as a surprise. I really enjoy my aerial classes! Even though, right now, I'm in the barre classes and they're kicking my butt, I definitely enjoy doing aerial more. I felt like I was making such good progress on the lyra (hoop), and I want to be able to do it more. Even though those classes are only once a week, it's still something, and I feel like I get something out of it as well. These barre classes, I'm going every day, since it's a 2-week unlimited pass, so I want to get the most out of the money I spent. If I wasn't so sore, I might have even thought about going twice a day, but that's not really feasible, in my opinion. I do want to be fit, but I also don't want my body to shut down because it's just too much. With that said, though, I'm definitely going back tomorrow and probably Monday.... I'm hoping to go every day if nothing comes up, and quite potentially twice, if I feel my body can handle it. The goal here is to look amazing for the Chinese School conference I have coming up in about 2 1/2 weeks. 
5. Musical Instruments- As I mentioned previously, I'm learning ukulele and guitar (somewhat) and I learned piano in high school for like, 7 years. I'd like to be a master of musical instruments because it's fun to play music. Also, I'm definitely not the best at it right now, so I'd like to be better- and what easier way to be better than to be a master of it? It *would* be nice to have it where I can take to whatever instrument I pick up after figuring out the basics. After all, I am in a music teacher job right now. |
