Things I Learnt Today.

1. Sometimes it's better to just sleep, wake up late, and then start the day. Two extra hours seems to make a big difference to mood, food consumption and alertness.

2. I dont know how I used to carry heavy textbooks + laptop to school and back... My back hurts. I should probably see a physio.

3. The 'hang up!' 'No you hang up first' conversation may be silly and cliche, but it will invariably happen. Unless the other person needs to use the bathroom.

4. My 13-year old self was pretty cool, and had decent taste in music. I found the lyrics to this song in my email drafts... how random is that? I was probably love sick at the time, though I can't remember who the guy was. Looking back, I was such a dreamy kid. I guess in some ways, that hasn't really changed.

5. I really like anatomy. Like, for the first time I wasn't freaked out by the cadavers and now have new ambitions/interest. Yay!

6. Just because a reference text is big and formidable-looking, does not mean it contains relevant information.

7. Sydney has grown on me.

8. I have immediate love for people who feed me. Particularly if it's ice cream.

9. My mother is cool.

10. New perspectives are interesting. I have always equated respect with love. And I always believed that without respecting someone it was difficult to love them. But then I was forced to examine my life more closely, and ultimately you love people just because you do, and regardless of the mistakes they make. The key is, their choices might frustrate you, and on occassion it isn't worth sticking around to see the downfall. It just depends on how important they are to you. Again, that's kind of open to interpretation and evaluation depending on the dire-ness of said mistakes, but all lines become blurry when love is thrown into the mix.

11. It's important to pull your head out of the sand to look at the bigger picture.

12. I love seeing couples travelling home together on public transport, talking about their day or even sitting in silence. I'm pretty sure, at the end of the day, there's nothing quite like the feeling of coming home to someone and somewhere you can call your own.
