I'm back in school, so I'm learning all kinds of nifty stuff, but I think the only thing that could be classified as a "skill" is sign language. I'm also doing some DIY stuff. I'm going to refinish/ smooth a wall in my kitchen and turn it into a massive chalkboard.
I'l be learning how to write a hard hitting newstory. Preparing for class, I am listening to people who debate on u-tube about their beliefs. They say a lot in a short time. Knowing how to condense your statements which engage your reader is important.
