13. How to wake up at the exact moment you enter your train stop.
When I was going to school but living at my parents, I used to take the commuter train home. I used to do a good job at dozing until I reached my stop, except for the couple times when I didn't. There were a few times that I had to try to find someone to fetch me from the next stop over. Or one time two stops. (usually it was just waking up after leaving the station, rather than just before it stopped. Maybe it just took a little too long to wake) Slightly more difficult than waking up at the right time was to, from an state of disorientation, remember to grab my guitar case from the rack above the seats.
Of course if you woke up and found yourself in Norfolk, it would be a lot stranger.
i strongly agree with #s 4 and 5!!!!
Congratulations!
