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 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 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! Read how I did it…
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.
Okayy.. so far..
