Today I learned that my chemistry teacher has almost zero understanding of quantum mechanics. Watching him try to teach it is painful.

I learned that some parents want their children in the Special Ed classes to 'gain an edge.'
Incidentally, I also learned how to projective vomit on horrible parents.

Re: Today You Learned
Indeed I did.
Then I made a test.
With enough luck, I may have actually passed it.
Which was the general opinion of everyone I talked to.
That's a good thing for me... Gives me more chance.

Re: Today You Learned
Today I learned that the idea of anything related to the leftist party being displayed on the left and anything related to the rightist party being displayed on the right is pretty much hard coded into my brain.
CNN, stop putting the Senate numbers with Democrats on the right and Republicans on the left: it's confusing me!

Today I learned that while it only adds about three minutes to my commute to drive straight through Rockford instead of taking the interstate, this route is about ten miles shorter, so I save considerably on gas! (And the fact that I get to avoid the toll booth is another bonus!)

Re: Today You Learned
Today I learned two things:
1) My mental disorganisation is at a level where it actually threatens my ability to perform well at uni.
2) How fast my self-confidence can plummett when faced with this realisation.

I can relate, and once you get everything organized, its time for a truck load of advanced Physiology and Chemistry puzzles.

I first started grouping and prioritizing, but that can become overwhelming with too much information to organize. For me, having reliable information is extremely important, otherwise I can't put things into long term storage. If that happens the circuit trips the diode and I can't take in anymore information until the current queue is processed. It can be really tough. Remember, don't sweat the small stuff. Good Luck Senor Frog.
Don't let People overload the circuit.
Re: Today You Learned
Today I learned that I had a story due for the paper two days ago that I was totally unaware of >.< Oops.
So. Now I sit. With my freshly gathered information, all the pages due tomorrow morning.. and with my editor not returning my phone call >.< I hope she's not entirely pissed at me.. I thought maybe to explain that it's not done because I recently discovered that my grandma's kidney's have shut down completely and things are looking increasingly worse for her.. and not to mention my home life is just sgdhkjshgfd shamble-tastic. But. That would appear like I'm looking for sympathy. And really. I'm not. Just wanting her to understand why it's not done [not to mention the fact that I was never told it was running THIS week. Or even given a due date or had anyone discuss anything any further than "hey, did you know someone bought out Tom's Cafe and changed it to C's Pizza? Yeah.. that might make an interesting story if you're looking for something to kill time with."]
GROWL.

Also, I spend way too much thinking time on a person who is now little more than an acquaintance.

Today I learned that a single post, if epic enough, can turn someone's entire view of you around.
I also learned that this prohibits any further posting by you in this thread, since you're not going to top the epic-ness, and it might water down the experience...

Re: Today You Learned
Today I learned lots about the practicalities of attempting to sway school policy, and even more about the body of staff and student opinion. I think I'm gonna win

That only made me kind of sad, because of course you're riffing off of someone who says what you said and believes it.
