After reading A Rebours (Huysmanns) I realized how powerful the imagination could be. That could save me a lot of money in terms of travel expenses

16. P.S. I Love You was a really disappointing movie. Don’t go and see a movie just because you like the lead actor

17. Quotes we use in everyday conversation often comes from a source we know nothing about e.g. Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Then it’s a pleasant surprise to find them in their original context

18. It’s even funnier if the quote has been warped so much and people think it’s still accurate

19. There’s a whole playlist of songs that people in each generation should know i.e. assumed knowledge. Otherwise you will be extremely ostracized during long bus trips

12. The Russian Method is useful for graphs involving product or division of linear/ basic functions

13. You always need to test whether a curve crosses a horizontal asymptote

14. Polynomial division is used to find both oblique and horizontal asymptotes

well I’m studying for my modern history assessment now. I should’ve started hours ago. this isn’t really a memory, but it will probably be one soon.

what will it teach me?
don’t start studying one hour before you plan to go to bed the night before an assessment task.

The first time I saw Morris Dancing was Easter this year at the National Folk Festival in Canberra. It was wonderful and now that Morris is part of my life, I can’t believe what I’ve been missing out on.

Lesson learnt? Simple: good things happen! be alert for opportunities that could change your life.

I used to think House was hyped up.

then I started watching regularly and fell in love.
so don’t judge! some things ARE an acquired taste.
