Nuggets of Wisdom

[Merlin Emrys]

As so many of us are revising for exams for uni/college/school etc I thought it would be fun to make a game out of it (well, to ease the guilt of procrastinating here!)

So, it's pretty simple. Write something you've learnt/are learning. Even the people who aren't revising, tell us something interesting you learnt today. And then everyone else can feel enlightened, and it will count towards your revision

Keep it short, so it's easy to read for other people. (And who knows, we could be studying the same topics and can help each other out)

Lets get imparting some wisdom!
