I've been reading this American reader's digest and there was this article about learning new things after the age of 30.. Well, I'm 30.
Perhaps I should go American style and take the advice. I do feel bored with everything and feel like a change is needed. I tried study circles.. boring. Cycling.. not boring but I started missing having well-groomed hair and arriving like a human rather than a stick, sweaty tomato because it takes an hour of cycling to get anywhere if I want to leave the house. Cooking.. I still do it but more than two to three times a week is too much. Drawing.. if I have time to draw it probably means I'm not studying enough, so I haven't been allowing myself to draw or paint.. and I'm tired of doing things that involve a lot of sitting really. Shopping.. How much can a person shop before they realize they can't spend anymore
Reading.. I've been doing a lot of that actually and it's really enjoyable specially when I'm waiting for or riding the bus.
I need a fucking life. It can't only be about studying, so I'm compiling a list of new things to try out. Sadly it won't involve my husband because he's even more busy than I am, and he probably wants to have some quiet computer time when he's free anyway.
1. Hiking - Big no no cus I will never answer to nature call out in the open lol and I don't want to have a muscular body, but still worth a try because walking never gets boring.
2. Rock Climbing - Same issue as the previous one plus it might be dangerous since I'm really clumsy. Just that.. I'm curious.
3.Horseback Riding - I love horses, but I hate ticks lol. There is a riding club right beside my house though and it might be nice to take advantage of that.. and.. get.. closer to .. horse poop lol.
4. Play the piano - I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano.. although I have short fingers.. but it can also be any other instrument!
5. Running - I've been giving it a lot of thought actually, because of an interesting person I've met when my husband and I bought my parents' new kitchen. She said she loved running, and specially when it rained.
6. Play tennis - There are tennis courts next to my house as well. Although it's been over 12 years since I learned how to play it. Could be fun -if- I actually have someone to play with.
7. Drawing Trips - It's not really a new thing but it's extremely fun if accompanied by the right group of people. I should TRY finding new passionate members for the illustration circle.
8. Take dance classes - .... ... aha hahahahaha! Really long shot
9. Get a pet - Out of the question. We already have three pets anyway. Two outdoor cats and one LARGE red wooden house that requires cleaning on a daily basis.
10. Travel - It's too expensive and Jan doesn't have the time.. but I think it would be a lot of fun to travel by car if we ever get the chance.
Actually, Jan came up with an amazing idea.. We just get into random trains a couple of times regardless where they are going, and then discover the place we end up in.. maybe stay for a night if it's nice. Might actually end up in Denmark
I'll think of more things later. My brain is crashing for some reason.
P.S. I fucked up on the Näthandel test today. My brain got everything upside down.

Best of it all was my two week trip back home. My parents' house didn't change at all, and Riyadh has actually become even more majestic. I got to know my sister's son too. He was only three months old when I moved and now he's grown into an active and happy three year old.
