I've learned to never underestimate a good conversation, and that everything can change very quickly at any time.

I have learned never to go anywhere with my Art Teacher unless accompanied by someone else as well.
The scalpels I used to do some paper silhouettes turned out to be hospital scalpels. 8O
I do not want to know, why she's got a couple of those with her at all times.

I have learned I'm not the only one who keeps sharped objects in her purse. I have a straight razor I keep in mine. I use mine for cutting my hair. :roll:

I learned or realized I'm still interested in living in Finland, but only for a year. It would be a nice place to stay where I could go visit Russia but it would not be as expensive as living in Russia. And I've already got the Finnish Language Course to study.

learned on national geographic on a show called "after oil" learned that one US gallon of gasoline will take you 20 miles.

(I don't drive but i have always wondered the rate of how far a gallon will take you (I know that speed and driving habits have alot to do with the distance it will take you)

Different cars get different mileages actually, depending on their weight and efficiency of engine. Generally the heavier a vehicle and the more combustion cylinders it has the less mileage the vehicle will have. The lighter the vehicle and the fewer the combustion cylinders the more mileage. Some vehicles can get 38 mpg, some 20 mpg, and others (with higher torque) will have even less miles per gallon. The vehicle used to transport the Space Shuttle from the preparation hanger to the launchpad gets extremely low miles per gallon, but that is because they need it to be able to supply a lot of torque.
