If you want to start getting some cooking practice, you could start by following recipes on food packaging or online. That's how I learned. There are a lot of simple ones, and cooking is pretty easy because you don't need to be too precise. (Baking is different, you need to be more accurate.)
I'm sort of bored right now too though. u_u;; I just moved a couple towns away from all my friends, and I haven't found a job yet, so there's not much to do.
