How I did it
How to memorise pi to 100 places
It took me
2 days
It made me
feel good :)

How I did it: I broke the numbers down into four groups, with five lines of five numbers in each.  Then I just took each group in turn, and memorised it!The whole process was surprisingly similar to memorising words, in a poem format. Read how I did it…

How to get a digital camera
It took me
30 days
It made me
happy!

How I did it: I gave some money to my mother, and we picked out a suitable camera from Kodak's website.  The one I'm getting has 8.1 Megapixels, and a 5x optical zoom.  You can also take videos with it, which is cool.  She's getting it for me, so perhaps this is not much of a 'how did you do it' story, but oh well!I'm really happy to be getting one, as recently I've become interested in flowers and trees etc, and it will be really handy … Read how I did it…

How to go trampolining
It took me
7 days
It made me
sore but happy

How I did it: I went to a trampolining class at work, which I can go to for free yay!  The sister and mum of a lifeguard at work taught the class.  I learned how to do front drops, go to sitting from standing, and also how to go from sitting to 180 degrees sitting, and then back to standing.  All good fun, but need several days to recover before I go again!  My muscles don't like me anymore!

learn Attic (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 5 days ago

So far, I have memorised the following:

Noun declensions of the O-declension, including neuter endings
Noun declensions of the A-declension, including alpha and eta subgroups for long- and short-vowel feminine nouns

It takes about 1 and a quarter sides of A4 to write them all out (which I try to do at least once a day, as an ongoing aid to memorisation).

Now I am beginning to write out the vocabulary lists from some of the earlier units onto flashcards, so I can carry them with me to test myself.

memorise all the forms in the back of Wheelock's (read all 6 entries…)
Untitled 1 month ago

So far, I’ve learned the forms of nouns of the first, second and third declensions (although only the first two example nouns of the third). It’s a start.. quite a few more pages ahead of me to look forward to yet though, as there are still the adjectives and verbs to learn!
