I'm doing 19 things
I realized that things can always get worse. Always. I’m trying to appreciate the things that are not getting worse. Although some situations are far from ideal, I’m beginning to understand that this ideal is a fantasy. Shackelton has taught me that I can endure even the worst situations if I can learn to appreciate.

Using a book

I was able to teach myself most of the Adobe Illustrator skills I wanted to know. I don’t think I’m proficient at it yet, but I’m to a point where I can make some functional drawings.
FYI: the book is called Real World Adobe Illustrator CS2 by Mordy Golding. I would recommend it to people who have some limited experience with AI.
The camcorder refused to be recognized by my computer. I tested it out before taking it to New York City. I couldn’t transfer any of the footage to the computer. I think this it’s just about curtains for this goal.
