learning

I love to learn; I love to read and I love to digest new information. Call me weird, but it makes me excited. My mind is crazy like that – I can hear information once and it can be embedded in my mind forever – ready for retrieval at any moment. Now, this is not always the case, but more often than not, this weird quirk surfaces and I reveal the nature of my love for learning.

Take, for instance, class the other day – my professor was talking about nocturnal animals. She asked for the word expressing that “animals are awake and active during the day.” Without thinking I responded “diurnal.” The entire class immediately turned to look at me. A friend made a face and exclaimed, “Who knows that?!” Ummm…me I guess. Weird. Random. I know.

Or how about a week ago when I was at home lying in bed reading a Geico magazine to my roommate. It was nearly midnight and she clearly thought I was obsessed. The sad part? – I was thoroughly enjoying the content.

Maybe I revealed too much about my true nature. But it’s ok – I love to learn and I love to read.
