One Year Older and Wiser, Too

In honor of my birthday which is coming up in a few days, I decided to make a list of the things I have learned about myself in the last year:

1. I can run a marathon!
   
2. I enjoyed training for and running a marathon
   
3. I really like outdoor rock-climbing and canyoneering
4. Teaching Sunday School isn't as scary as I thought it would be
5. Becoming a dietitian may be scarier than I thought it would be...
6. I hate hair that is stuck to my couch or clothes
7. I really, really like quesadillas with enchilada sauce....and enchiladas!
8. Coldplay is my favorite band
9. I remember how to play the guitar
10. I am not very good at playing the guitar
11. I have really strong bones!
    
12. I don't hate bacon as much as I thought I did...I actually like it potato salads and broccoli salad (as long as it isn't overwhelming)
13. Following a budget is harder for me than I thought it would be...
14. I like Gilmore Girls, now that I have seen it
    
15. I have a lot of useless natural talent, like cutting long baguettes lengthwise evenly, being good at Guitar Hero and Link's Crossbow Training, and catching marshmallows in my mouth. I am sure there are more, but since they aren't talents that have any purpose or relevance in my life, I don't remember very well.
16. I can use Microsoft Publisher (I can make my own template and everything!)
17. I am really absent-minded. I am on my 5th BYU ID, and there have been many a forgotten appointment, assignment, etc.
18. Scooters may not see me, even if I am in a crosswalk and other cars are stopped, and other people are in the crosswalk
19. I can take someone's blood pressure
    
20. I am pretty good at making potato, pasta, and fruit salads. I sure hope the kids at the Cannon Center can appreciate that.
21. I enjoy cross-stitching, but I find the finished project a little cheesy-a little too relief-society for my taste.
22. It is by the grace of God that I have gotten to this point in my life (academically, and the fact that I am alive and well)- this may sound fascicious, but it is actually very true. When you take into consideration my absent-mindedness, it is amazing I have done so well in school. And with some of the risks I took during my canyoneering trips, I am actually really lucky that I didn't go away without any broken bones.

I hope you enjoyed this little list of mine (did you notice that there are 22 points. Can you guess how old I am going to be?) For the most part I enjoyed discovering these things about myself. What wonders await me in the next year of my life?
