You learn something new every day, whether or not you realize it right away. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Today I learned the difference between bowler hats, pork pie hats and fedoras. Before today, they were all just fedoras to me. It never occurred to me that all three of these different hat styles had different names.

I also learned that Roseanne is Jewish, and that gummy shot glasses exist.

It doesn't have to be anything life-changing or significant or anything, just something that you learned. So AG, I ask you now, what did you learn today?

I learned that I apparently needed the 4th edition of "Cases in Comparative Politics" for my government class, and I need it by Wednesday or I'll start failing. My piece of crap laptop is too old to run any of these free E-readers, and none of the downloads are legitimate, so one of you should buy me this and get it shipped to my house pretty soon. I'll pay you back somehow.

I learned that one of my professors recognizes me on sight now. It's good because I like him, bad because I was late for last week's lab and he knows....

I learned (thanks to my flag counter) that AG really is pretty dead now, and from looking at other peoples' the user traffic through profiles is very low nowadays.

I learned that researchers have made a super duper black material called Ventablack and it looks like the void of space.

I learned that omegap condones redundancy in both text and politics.

I also got "the textbook I needed", which isn't actually the textbook I need because the one that was sent was "ESSENTIALS in Comparative Government", not Cases, and all this information about political institutions in the UK that I desperately need is not present, and I've just wasted twenty bucks. So I'm having some form of a nervous breakdown right now since I have a major test on this stuff on Monday, and nobody in that class is willing to lend me a copy. Fun times.

DC is an awesome city. Nothing bout politics or anything. Its a beautiful city and they have bike lanes! I havent seen those in a city before!

Omegap, you should've picked Chicago instead. Way better here.

They may have Rise Against, but the crime rate is too high. No, sorry.

I learned that all the gift cards I have accumulated over the years paid off a few hundred dollars towards an Apple purchase. Woo.

What, all that money for an apple? Is it a Granny Smith, a Fuji, or is it a golden apple?
