Wear some skimpy armor.

Probably drink some mead....

After I got my bearings and figured out whats going on I would patch my leaky roof then make a good living chopping fire wood.

Then I would invent stair well hand rails and become rich,becuase Skyrim is in bad need of hand rails.

If we're talking about who I am as a real person waking up in Skyrim, then I'd probably end up being an Imperial, and I'd go off to Winterhold to study at the college and make a living out of magic.

If we're talking about I wake up, and I'm the Dovahkiin, then I'd be Breton, and a "shadow knight" (warrior / necromancer mix).

Find my character and swear to carry her burdens.
I would become famous for my Venison Stew recipe.

I would level up as fast as I could. I would also get Aela some Forsworn armor, grab Meeko and go adventuring.

Id get my hands on a sword,shield and great sword asap and find a job as a guard for traders, someone gotta protect them poor traders out on the road from all the bandits/skeletons/trolls/bears and werewolf raids yeah? Nothing can survive the powerful battle style of Shield-fu: the most destructive form of martial arts! Smashing faces since the dawn of time.

Id most likely become insanely bored due to lack of Xbox, and my dislike of the outdoors would surely further that madness until i was a dribbling fool in the service of the great Lord Sheogorath...oh and i would panic until my heart gave out if i encountered Nimhe

Find a bodyguard, then go straight to College of Winterhold to find out if anyone there knew what kind of magic brought me here and how I could get home.

If I were stuck, I would probably spend some weeks crying over the loss of my friends, family and comfortable life. And I would try to figure out a way to make money. Get a work in a shop or inn or something. And then I would live there, unhappy, missing my husband and children.

i would be an argonian so i could hide in the water when somethign goes wrong. the first thing i would do is go to whiterun (if i am close) to ask them to put me in a sitation where i have to fight (i have no interest in joining them, i just have to experiance combat, real combat, wit someone nearby who can help if it takes a turn for the worst, as is my body and insincts would not be used to it and i'd probably die) then head straight to the nearest magister willing to take me on as an apprentice for awhile. after learning enough magic to defend myself i would then start training illusion to become an illusionist (easy to avoid direct combat [although i could stil handle it], cheep rent at inns and i could make money by putting on performances where ever i could find the chance). After i become a master (or at least a decent) illusionist i would start training other magic skills to at least adept levels then i would form a mercenary group and live life to its fullest in a band of traveling mercs

almost forgot! i would also use magic to keep myself alive for as long as i want to (not immortal though, immortality is severly over-rated) and use my illusion magic to keep me looking youthful unless i need to reveal my true age

well, that is embarrassing

First I'd probably cry and live in denial a while. After the shock, this'll be the most probable:

Since I never learned how to wield a sword, but I have learned some martial arts, I'd find the means to craft me a pair of fist weapons to protect myself.
When I have some selfprotection I'd get me a carriage to Solitude (earning the gold with lousy jobs or betting on my own barbrawls). Once in Solitude I'd try to become the blacksmith's apprentice. God knows he can use one, supplying all those Imperials.
There I'd earn a living, safe inside the castle walls. In my spare time I'd teach myself to wiele the crafted weapons, increasing my survival chances.

I would tell a bunch of nords that the Dominion is banning talos worship... at the shrine of Merhunes Dagon. Wait an hour, then go get my Daedric Armor and Enchanted Weapons.

Freeze.

I would immediately take advantage of my starter spells

First, I'd find a way to get a drug test just in case I was on drugs the night before. Turns out I'm not, so I wonder why everyone calls me cat. I then become the crazy cat lady that is a Khajiit of Skyrim. People will soon be feeling like jerks for not calling me, "Cat Lady".

Go to a fletcher, get a bow and some arrows and into the wild i go.

I'd join the collage of Winterhold.

Probably scurry my butt off to the closest town because Skyrim is a dangerous place.

Well, since I'm not physically strong, I'd probably go the route of trying to master different schools of magic like I do in the game. Conjuration, Destruction, Illusion, and Restoration spells would be my main focus. I could also see myself becoming a spy for the Aldmeri Dominion. I don't know. It's hard to really say what I would actually do if that actually happened.

Skooma supplier an getting it in on the wifey.

get up, go to solitude and join the imperial legion

work alongside the east empire company and travel with them around the coasts of tamriel

work my way up the ranks alongside friends i will make

fight in many battles ranging from elves to stormcloaks

become a powerful general in the imperial legion

attend counseling with the emperor

advertise our recruitment within poverty stricken areas

train imperial soldiers to be better fighters and invent better armour

live the rest of my retiring life with the queen of skyrim

move down to cyrodil and live with my wifey in the imperial city

I would hire one of them cooks to make bratwurst and sauerkraut so I could have a decent bit of nosh. Maybe get Ysolda to run a sausage stand and sell brats on a bun, maybe hamburgers as well.

ooooohhhhhhh baby
now you're talking!

make sure to make currywursts too!

and pommes...can't forget pommes

and the bloody powder the germans put on their chips!

i've got 3 containers full of that stuff<3

I would probably first try to rob a sword, shield and some gold or valuables from a group of bandits in the night. If I would still be alive after that I would become a student of the alteration school and after I've learned enough I would become a bodyguard for hire or become a guard in whiterun. I would be unstoppable with the telekinesis spell.
