			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Granted, the last day of classes isn&#8217;t till next week, so I still have time to become an expert in at least three more things. Consider this list a work in progress:</p>
<p><strong>1. Getting off an entirely too crowded bus without smacking anyone in the face with my bag</strong> Some of the undergrads still need to learn how to do this<br />
<strong>2. Looking like an incredibly serious studier in the SILS library when I am really just reading trashy teen girl novels</strong> This week&#8217;s is about a slutty California girl and a prim English girl who switch places! Recipe for amazing? Or just trite Prince and the Pauper knock off?<br />
<strong>3. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Born_Chinese">American Born Chinese</a></strong><br />
<strong>4. Finding information about <a href="https://inls530revolutionpathfinder.wikispaces.com/">causes of the American Revolution</a></strong> (still in progress)<br />
<strong>5. Wheedling Steven into doing ALL of the cooking</strong><br />
<strong>6. And the laundry</strong><br />
<strong>7. Being  cold</strong><br />
<strong>8. Bribing children into doing what I want</strong><br />
<strong>9. Writing poorly plotted novels way fast.</strong><br />
<strong>10. Negotiating an apartment full of appliances/fixtures that all ALMOST work exactly right</strong><br />
<strong>11. Making my parents feel guilty about how I&#8217;m Gonna Make It On My Own</strong> Christmas is going to be awesome<br />
<strong>12. Ignoring my blog for long stretches of time</strong> Luckily I don&#8217;t think anyone&#8217;s noticed. Or maybe sadly.<br />
<strong>13. Every program in Microsoft Office</strong> Except PowerPoint but we&#8217;re starting that today! It&#8217;s funny how the waiver form for this course wanted you to know all these programming languages, but the actual course is just an intense semester-long Microsoft Office tutorial.<br />
<strong>14. Being resigned</strong> Some battles aren&#8217;t worth fighting. Like the battle to get my collection development prof to give us any grades ever.<br />
<strong>15. Not slipping and falling down the stairs every time it rains</strong> You may laugh, but they are MAD dangerous. Three people have already plummeted down them.</p>
