Some people don't understand the concept of dressing according to the weather.

Because it's pouring outside and you're wearing really short shorts and wellies... really?

Today I learned that..

some people really don't understand the purpose of a fable with a moral.

It's not supposed to be a nice story with a happy ending that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside."but the camel didn't do anything bad it shouldn't have died because the others wanted to eat him!!", yeah sure.. but the MORAL of the story is that there is strength in numbers. Besides, it's the animal kingdom, if they need to eat, they will kill to eat. Deal with it!

Having a spanish accent in any language is extremely sexy.

Think about it... Didn't you love that dude in Vicky Cristina Barcelona? even though he was crazy?

There are three topics that will definitely cause an argument: Money, Politics and Religion.

Don't get into those, unless you're ready for some verbal action...And hopefully, no violent action. Even though these three topics are generally the cause of mass violence.

there are two different types of tennis balls

The winter balls which are pressure-less and the "summer" balls which are pressurized. Because we all know that atmosphere influences pressure...

I really hate being drunk

because I can't control my stability, my movements,... I'm a really energetic and active person and when I'm drunk I really hate not being myself because of the effect of alcohol.

I also hate waking up in the morning and not remember everything that happened during the past evening!

Today I learned that...

It's not that I didn't know, but it's such a light alcohol percentage that it's most likely for me to be a casual drink and not a getting drunk drink...

"Monkey see, monkey do" uses the word "monkey", but it should really use "human".

Sure, monkeys copy what they see people doing. But who copies what other people are doing MORE than other humans? Which is also nowadays called "influence", be it good or bad...

When you've noticed a mistake in your course book it means you've probably already understood that course.

Unless you're noticing a spelling mistake in your maths book, then it doesn't mean you ace maths.

But, in my case, when you notice a mistake in Accounting accounts when you've only been studying the course for 6 weeks, and your lecturer who wrote the book who has been an accountant for over 30 years is freaking out because of his error, I'm probably well off. WOO. satisfaction.

When the first thing you do when you come out of a lecture/airport/public building is smoking, you're a slave of nicotine.

Think about this image: you're on your knees, attached by your neck with a heavy chain, and at the other end there's a big fat cigarette. At the moment when you're actually ALLOWED to smoke it yells at you "SUCK ON ME", and you do so, because well, you're attached with a chain, what else can you do? Wow, you're sort of getting orally raped by your smokes..

Today I learned that..

Being tidy prevents you from stepping on and breaking valuable things.

The only time my room is a mess, I break something. This is true people, don't take it as a joke!

Today I learned that..

You shouldn't try to fight being tired.

No matter what you do, you're going to fall asleep, because your body will eventually say "SCREW YOU, I need sleep NOW" and shut off. This happened to me today.

Today I learned that..

The only relationships that are forever are the ones with people you are connected with by blood.

Your sister will always remain your sister, your boyfriend will probably not remain your boyfriend, your friends might one day become your enemies, your wife might get a divorce, your mother will always be your mother.

Today I learned that..

For lent you're supposed to start something new, not stop something you've been doing a lot.

Silly christians, don't get their events right...

Today I learned that...

Being busy is good, too busy is not.

When you're too busy you forget to do a lot of things, and in the end, it only brings trouble...

Today I learned that..

A good teacher really makes a difference.

If you have a bad teacher you are very likely to hate or dislike the class/ course. But if you have a smiley, funny, active or just plain good teacher, it really makes a difference as far as liking the class and understanding/being good at it. I have amazing arabic teachers as well as a terrific accounting teacher. I would never have taken let alone continue these complicated subjects if it wasn't for them!

Noticing that something that annoys you is occurring is horrible.

you can't stop thinking about it, and it attracts your attention and enhances it so that you start to become mad. It's AWFUL. What i mean by "something that annoys you" is something like the clicking of a pen, the slurping of a drink, the snorting of a nose, droplets of water falling in the sink... ARGH!!! I can't stand them. Once I notice they're there, I'm doomed, I can't un-notice it and it drives me mad.

Today I learned that..

There's a song for each one of your emotions

listen to it. Either the rhythm reflects your mood, or the lyrics describe your feelings. So if you don't know how to explain how you feel to someone, someone has already done so, in song, all you have to do now is find that song. :)

Today I learned that..

Good things happen to good people

Yes! Karma strikes back. Not only when you do bad things, when you do good things, karma likes to show its appreciation by making good stuff happen to you. Today, my friend and I found £60, we split it, it was a good day, for good people...

Today I learned that..

the weather has a great influence on your mood.
