#22At work because I have no alternative I'm learning VBA, MS Access, and Excel/word automation.
At home I'm looking at Common Lisp and APL (which are so far out of my frame of reference I can feel my brain hurting when I sit down to them).

#23Logic and Proofs. It’s making me much more specified in my thinking, but man is it hard to find a learning community in northern rural England!

#24Figuring out how to make recurring revenue so that I don't go bankrupt if I end up in a hospital for an year.

#25I've tried following the Donut 3D tutorial. Midway, I thought "wow my donut already looks better than anything I've ever done in 3D", and by the end of it I couldn't believe I actually made the donut (sure, following step by step, but anyway that was an amazing feeling).

#28- Graphics Design because people really listen when stuff is pretty.
- French which has to be done but is quite hard.
- Some math because the more I work with computers there more I understand how it would be very useful.

- Basic EE digital circuits and microcontrollers. One should really have a grasp how computers work on a fundamental level.
- Cooking. Because it is social, full of culture and makes you independent.

#29I started a law degree and picked up the piano again.
