Having a clean room affects my whole attitude. I feel more organized and produtive when I’m working, and calmer when I’m relaxing. I think most of the other goals on my list would be easier if my room were clean.

I feel that being able to feed yourself is one of the most basic forms of independence. Being able to cook well would mean I could spend less money on food (another one of my 43 things.) It would also mean I could create meals specific to my tastes and nutrition needs. It would give me a creative outlet and a sense of accomplishment. I would love to be able to cook for my friends and family.
It might be different for a person who’s lived with deafness his whole life, but it’s hard for me to imagine many things more isolating than being unable to communicate verbally. Language and grammar fascinate me, and I’m good at reading and writing foriegn languages, but I’ve always had trouble speaking them. I figure ASL would be a perfect language for me to know. I keep wanting to take it at school, but the class is never offered at a convenient time.
