The random things learned

Sorry, Heather, can't think of anything else. Be more specific. :)
So on Thursday, while at Taekwondo, my master told me I was the fastest learner he'd ever had. That made me feel pretty good. I contribute it to Marching Band and Colorguard. I think of all the times when Nancy expected us to know a move after only seeing it one time, and I cringe. I always resented that, because I never could learn as fast as she wanted me to. But now I can. I watched him do the many things I learned on Thursday only once and I was able to do them. I was amazed. Later that night I was thinking about all the things I learned from Marching Band and was surprised a little at the rather lengthy list. I guess I shouldn't have been, but I was. I learned how to gauge approximately how far away something is. I learned how to respect authority. I learned how to be on time. I learned how to learn quickly. I learn how to work with a group. I learned how to be responsible for myself. I also learned that learning to music helps me learn. I'm sure there are a lot more things I learned from it, but those are the things that really stick out to me right now.
I've been rather bored with my life lately. I really want to do something exciting, but I have no idea what. I just want to do something that I've never done before. But I don't have the money for anything. So what can you do that's exciting and different that costs no money? Something to push past the monotony and onto fun? I'm so sick of monotony. I've been feeling very stagnant lately and it's fairly driving me crazy. Suggestions are appreciated. :D
