36. Writing. its gonna be massive.
37. Accidently joining a choir is perfectly possible.
38. I DO know how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, but I'm not going to tell you because you smell.
39. Once you're already soaked, walking through the rain isn't that bad.... So long as its not windy, because then its just nasty!

And those are all things I've learned between 2nd June 2013 and 2nd June 2014. Go figure :P
What cool things have you learned in the past year? Anything deep and meaningful? Something silly and fun, perhaps? A mixture of both? Something else entirely? Let me know in the comments :)

See you tomorrow,
