"Being an Adult" Course
It's almost a year since I left home, living here in Jerusalem, and from time to time a thought about a course for "being an adult" pops in my mind.
The last time the thought popped was yesterday night, when I found out that our electricity bill is extremely large than it is supposed to be.

- Fixing stuff in the apartment (such as blocked sink).
- Paying bills.
- Handling car issues (tests, bills, fixing basic problems).
