Here are 5 things (out of 10) I want to go through in the nearest future and the reasons why. Some of them may seem weird or not very exciting, but tastes differ as they say.
№ 1. Run 15 kilometres.
I go jogging in the park not far from my flat. I'm fond of it, and I usually run 9–10 kilometres in the morning. Still, 15 kilometres is the barrier I want to carry through.
Advantages: good for health.
Disadvantages: requires endurance, a tiresome activity.
№ 2. A week without the Internet.
The Internet has become an integral part of our lives. It covers all spheres of human activity. We buy, sell, order goods and book trips; meet, communicate and make friends; study and gain knowledge, watch the news and find out any information we need. So, how did the previous generations live without it? I'm going to figure it out.
Advantages: more time for studying.
Disadvantages: mission impossible. (?)
№ 3. Learn how to fix a car.
Hmmm... A pretty strange wish for a girl, isn't it? But why not? I just need to talk my dad into showing me how to do it. And, of course, his car will be the best "guinea pig" for me. P.S. I hope I won't need to buy a new car to my dad.
Advantages: still can't find any...
Disadvantages: an angry Dad.
№ 4. Hitchhike across the country.
Travelling by plane or train can be rather expensive. Hitchhiking is travelling by getting free rides in someone else's vehicle. It's the best way for me to put the money away and travel. Moreover, I can meet a lot of interesting people.
Advantages: saves money.
Disadvantages: can be dangerous.
№ 5. Try skydiving.
"I believe I can fly..."* This is the phrase I want to sing while being in the sky. And nobody can talk me out of this crazy idea. I just mustn't forget to check over the parachute before the jump...
Advantages: thrilling and exciting.
Disadvantages: might be dangerous, expensive. (!)
