At last?

My long neglected site. I've been doing more learning than discovering these days, although both are quite time consuming. There is now the freedom and burden of a driver's license and car. As well as that of a job.

I still have yet to finish "Little Dorrit" and a bit of fiction writing coming up.

Learning Vs. Discovering

You know idea, "Learn something new every day." Well, I used to quite like that idea, however 2 years into my higher education the idea has become a bit stale. Learning is too close to tests, homework, books and textbooks. Instead I prefer to "Discover something new every day." Discovery conjures up images of adventure, exploration and excitement. Be honest with yourself, if someone said "Guess what I discovered today?" and another said "Guess what I learned today?", you would probably be more interested in what the first person had to say. Discoveries can be found anywhere, and are more likely to stick with you than something you learned.

I've had 2 discoveries today.
#1. I had known L.M. Montgomery wrote 8 books based on Anne Shirley and her children. What I discovered today is that the 4th and the 6th book (chronologically) were written about 15 years after the other six.

#2. I also learned that she wrote another book "The Blythes Are Quoted" which features more of their family. That book won't be published until October of this year. Hmm...Perhaps I know what to ask for my birthday? :]

Random Link: Toxel.com I rather enjoy this sites lists. Such as the creative hotels or mug designs.
