Sometimes the truth hurts. And the truth of the matter is that I am a boring person (don't worry...it doesn't hurt). I hate being asked what I like to do in my spare time becasue I feel like I don't do anything that is exciting or extraordinary. Because of situations a and b, I need something new that I can learn about that is either exciting or extraordinary (at least according to my standards). According to this article, learning about something new is one way to make yourself happy. I know I can definitely be more happy than I am right now. This is what I have come up with to learn about:

1. Orchids. This is Beatrice. I have never owned a plant so I hope I don't kill her!

2. Holga. I have had an interest in photography since my early college days. After working in a photo lab for a year, I kinda grew out of this interest after seeing how many people take bad pictures. I bought an Holga to sort of spark this interest back up. If Columbus gets a sunny day soon, I will take her for a trial run.

3. Reading. I used to love to read. But I don't read as near as much as I used to. This is the list of books I am on the waiting list for from the library. The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas, No One Belongs Here More Than You, Happens Everyday, Might As Well Laugh About It Now, Flat Belly Diet, Cursed, Handle With Care and others.

Hopefully these three things are a start to making me less boring!
