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?
Today i learnt about something really important:
When you are dreaming you believe that you are awake,
but when you are awake you believe that you are dreaming..
Sorry but my theory before was that I'm always dreaming..
I learned that apparently a girl(that I like)'s ex is apparently trying to get her back. It seems to be true as they've been hanging out together a lot. Must find out if it's true. If it isn't then I'll ask her out. If it is and she likes him back... well... plenty of fish in the sea.
It is my social studies teacher. my old history teacher
So does mine. Or, at least, my Comp Gov teacher is definitely an interesting person to talk to. Most of the teachers I've had in that general subject (Civics, History, etc) seem to be pretty amazing.
I learned all about the spectacled bear! It's a very shy, peaceful bear and the only bear species in South America. And it's darn cute. I also learned that the word "nightingale" is an Anglo-Saxon word that has been around for a millennium without changing hardly at all. It means "night songstress" because the nightingale sings at night and probably people used to think it was the female that sang. I also learned that there's a dolphin type called the dusky dolphin and it's gorgeous, while the river dolphin is...not quite so gorgeous. No offense meant but they look like they aren't really native to rivers but instead were so ugly that their fellow dolphins kicked them out of the ocean and the only place they had to go was to a river... (I spent several hours on an animal facts website haha)
I learned about the different shapes that orbits can take! Circular (as an approximation for ellipse), elliptical, hyperbolic, and parabolic.
I also learned that the New Year's crowd around the Taipei 101 building is crazy huge!! My friend told me that it's large enough to cause a lack of oxygen, but I didn't understand until he sent a picture. Oh yes. It's large. (I still wish I could see the fireworks in person though!)
