If I had that technology, I would upload everything available on file. The common fictional notion that you could "fill up" your brain is wrong.
Soooo..... you think the brain has unlimited data storage capacity?
The plasticity of the brain also gives it near unlimited storage capacity. There's a great episode of Curiosity on what obstacles would have to overcome to achieve immortality, and one of the topics it goes into detail on is brain capacity and functionality.
Like Lucy? Without the self destruction that comes with that scenario, absolutely!

Skateboarding. Looks so fun
Being able to feel joy/happiness. I really don't understand or know what those things are but everyone says it's wonderful and awesome. So It would be awesome to experience it at least once.
The ability not to forget all things when I grow older.
"I know how to understand and speak every language with the proper accent. Wöáh."
Monkey's paw curls: You understand the literal meaning of all the words, but not the context.
Willsch fei ebbes von dä Buabespitzle?
How to fluently speak a foreign language. I'm A2 with French but I could live with Spanish or German as well.
If you managed French Spanish is a fucking breeze. You know most of the nouns already and the pronouns are incredibly straightforward.
A2 is still a novice. I can read it reasonably well. Generating words on the fly is hard. Listening is harder.
The ability to sew anything. I love to binge sewing vids so being able to take some scraps and make cool shit would be amazing.
I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a while untill after the 3rd injury I realised this isn't going to be good on the long run and I stopped doing it. However, it was long enough to see what a magical power that is so I'd say that being able to posses the skills of a black belt without going thru the training would be quite nice.
People don't realise how helpless you'll feel trying to wrestle with someone who knows what they're doing. Being bigger and stronger will not save you unless you get really lucky.
maths.
I never had enough brains to not suck at maths.
Deduction, at superhuman speed of course just like neos kung fu speed.
Deduce the optimal stock market traction to gain a big chunk of capital so I can than deduce the best proper services to provide, or find the proper projects
Psychology.
I assume psychology is very useful for social interaction, but complicated and mid-impact enough that I personally wouldn't bother to analog-learn it.
Sex probably
Mind control.
Having a strong speech skill. I'll have the silver tongue needed to talk and utilize etiquette to get what I need and want. Maybe even pick up someone too.
Math, specifically gambling.
My first thought was also languages, but all the classes for a bachelors in nuclear engineering would be nice. Huge passion of mine and I can't really pursue a degree at this point in my life
How to speak Japanese. I'd move there in a heartbeat.
Tell me it doesn't use alien DNA like In Prey (2017)
