3 – I want to have a library room some day, where at least 3 walls are covered in bookshelves.

23 – I learned Latin for 7 years in school and actually liked it.

34 – I had two guinea pigs when I was younger.
35 – I used to hate Apple because I thought they were overpriced, but this year I bought an iPad for digital note-taking and ADORE IT. Still overpriced though. Why does that pencil alone cost over 100$?
