Assuming it is the famous cube assignment  :'(

We're doing calculus before linear algebra; I have avoided the cube (for the moment at least)

Even I've heard of this haha. What is it, exactly?
It's a linear algebra assignment in MTH1030/1035 where you model the "sunken" cube that is outside the Melbourne museum.

The assignment is the exact same every year in terms of what questions are asked however all the numbers of the starting coordinates are changed so as a result all the answers are different each year.

I've never heard of the "true mirror" before, but I guess the effect would be somewhat similar to watching a video of yourself... Very normal but also very strange.

Reminds me of the mirror of Erised, I've often wondered what I would see if I looked into it.

Like Einstein's class... He gave them the same test 3 years running, cause the answers changed in the meantime.... :D

Why is it that you can buy 500-600mL bottles of iced coffee or iced choc, but not plain milk in that size? What if I was out and wanted a bottle of milk? 🤔😅

Then you need to carefully put the hypothetically 500-600mL bottle of plain milk down, walk out of the shop, take a presumably delayed and crowded train home, go to your room, close the door, sit on the bed, and think about your life choices that have led to this exact moment

Depends where you are but I've found cartons of milk that size! Sometimes you have to go to an IGA or bigger Woolies/Coles to find them though

I know your Internet history is tracked all the time but they make it pretty obvious these days.

Facebook and Instagram must've found out I need to find a formal dress because they've been spamming me ads on formal dresses and boutiques...

Random thought of the day:
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results -Albert Einstien
I go to school every day hoping for it to be different from the last...does that make me insane?  ???
