What have you learnt today?

[Hooahguy]

Thankfully it poured last night, so the pollen washed away. It will be back though, it always does.

And Seamus Fermanagh that is mildly terrifying.

I assume that those who survive the oxidation of the pollen will have fewer problems with allergies however.

As for what I have learnt so far today, how to ask someone out in Spanish, that Schiller died young and that Goethe had a penchant for beauty and thought that prisms violate light because they tear it apart. I also learnt that when one is on a university with two campi in neighboring cities, one should be careful about signing up for Spanish courses because one might sign up for a course in the other city and then the uni plays inflexible and refuses to switch courses even though there is a course with fewer signups in one's own city that hasn't even started yet. I also learnt that the university shuttle bus that connects the two campi takes only 20 minutes. And the day isn't even over yet.

Cha-cha is not only a caribbean dance. It is also a 70-90% alcohol Georgian spirit made from grapes. The hangover is like wearing a skull with nails on the inside.

Obviously the problem is the extensive metropolitan transit network in your area. If travelling and commuting were more difficult for everyone, then they wouldn't be able to act this way.

The solution is to privatize the transit network until everyone gets sick of it and buys a car - from nationalized factories, of course.

I learned that you can graduate with a degree in engineering and still think the stupidest **** in the world.

I don't want to tell the whole story here, but it involves a man who seems to believe that women should have no problem drinking water contaminated with BPA because, "their bodies can handle the extra estrogen". FML, I'm graduating with this guy.

ACIN, you'll realise quickly almost anyone can get a degree. In almost anything. And 20 years later they will be considered a 'senior engineer'. Regardless of whether they have actually learnt anything in 20 years.
This is one of my learnings this week.

I recommend you join the food babe army and campaign for better food and drink with them.

Learned

Is that a lesson? Or a future lesson? :) In any case - I learnt of self-aware pretentiousness. Never saw such a thing. People aware, and proud of their classist self-awareness. Weird night.
