[Ghetsis-Dennis]

I have to review and study for my Spanish quiz tomorrow, which won't be too hard.

 

[Sunburn]

I really should study my trees for Dendrology lab :/

 

[dig]

I never have to study again

 

[Sunburn]

Lucky you, haha I don't like studying.

 

[dig]

Lucky you, haha I don't like studying.

Studying is a huge pain in the arse. I suppose it pays off.

 

[Parma]

It will pay off later though. So get to studyin'

 

[Sunburn]

I know, I know :/ it's kind of fun though, I like studying plants and trees.

 

[Meyneth]

I don't really study for much.

 

[Lyrebird]

Go with gut instinct?

 

[Dragonfyre]

Nah, stock knowledge and gut instinct.

Amazingly, sometimes a person can get higher scores by not studying. At least...that's how it is for me. Depends, really. Sometimes reviewing just clouds the mind with unnecessary data.

 

[Lyrebird]

Reviewing notes before you go to bed works for me.

I handwrite my notes.

Also hello.

 

[Slenderman]

I hate studying. And tests. And essays. And all other school work.

This afternoon my dad and I did a favour for a co-worker of his. We visited her family. The person I liked seeing best was her grandmother.

My dad's co-worker is 57. Her grandma (her mother's mother) is 105 - the oldest person I know, and probably among the oldest people in my area. She's a great-grandmother and a great-great-grandmother. The old woman was born in Italy. She still speaks English but a lot of the time she speaks Italian. She can hold a conversation somewhat, but can't walk without the use of a walker. And she has practically no real teeth. Two of her four kids are dead - her older daughter (the co-worker's mum) died this year, and she was due to turn 85! Imagine that, being 84 and still dying before your mum. Of course, the grandma was married very young; she was only 16 (hey, it was a long time ago). She once showed me her wedding picture. The picture is faded, but I can still tell that she was extremely beautiful as a young woman.

Also there was the co-worker's daughter, who is 31, and the daughter's two little kids.

It seems weird to know someone that old. Don't you agree?

 

[Dragonfyre]

Very. But it's amazing in its own way.

But wow. It's a bit of a shock to remember that people used to marry young. 16. Wow.

 

[Lyrebird]

I remembered when it was just about the physical relationship.

Good times.

 

[Sunburn]

16 is pretty young to be marrying, haha. My mom and dad are 6 years apart though, when they started dating he was 25 and she was 19. I always thought that was kinda weird

 

[Kyumorph]

@Slenderman; I spent 4 hours on Saturday watching the Marblehornets Slenderman videos and now you're kind of scaring me idk

 

[Lyrebird]

Go Andy Murray

Wooo

 

[Windfall]

I was for Murray just because he doesn't jump around and scream every time he scores >.>

 

[Sunburn]

Yeah, but he does that grunting thing :/

The latin names of some of these trees are insane! :l
