A little crunchy story „What are you doing?“, said a cookie to its comrade. “I’m just being eaten!”, answered the other cookie. “And what is it like to be eaten?”, said the first one. “It’s a very complicated situation. On the one hand, it’s fulfilling my purpose, but on the other, I think it also means the end of my identity!”, yelled the other cookie in an agony. The first cookie thought for a minute and then continued saying “You’re so lucky. I’m looking forward to being eaten as you are. Does it hurt?”. The answer of the other cookie sounding a little crunchy was, “No! Not at all! I can’t feel a pain as living creatures can. I… don’t have...”. Then there was a pause for a while, so the first cookie wondered, what was going on to its companion. “What don’t you have?”, asked it. There was no answer. Even the crunching stopped. And then the first cookie realized, what was going on, not only with its comrade, but also with it. So it just said, “Yeah… Now, it’s my turn.”

Another doubleclick for Excel users To rename a worksheet you can click the right mouse button on the sheet tab and choose the option Rename. To do it simpler you can also double-click on the sheet tab and start to type the name. When you’ve done with the typing, you save the new name by pressing the key Enter.

A trick for Excel users In case you have a table with some numbers and you want to have a formula in the next column, you normally make the formula for the first cell in the new column and then copy it to the adjacent cells. To copy the first formula you move the mouse pointer to the bottom right corner of the cell with the formula. This little spot of the cell is called the fill handle and as soon as you put the pointer there it changes to a black cross or a big plus. You can either drag the fill handle down to copy your formula or you can double-click on it. Once you do it, the formula is copied to the adjacent cells. And it’s copied as far as there is a cell that has a content. So the first blank row has stopped the copying.

The Description of My Bedroom My room is quite big. It has a window pointed to the south, so there is more light in the room in the morning than in the evening. On the floor, there is a grey carpet. That's convenient when I walk barefoot, on the other hand, having a wood floor would be more practical for cleaning. Since it's a bedroom, I have a bed there, which is almost in the middle of the room. Between the bed and the nearest wall to it, there is a sofa. So, if I want, I have more place to lay; it's almost like a double-bed. There is also a desk in the room with a computer on it. That is actually the computer I'm using just now. While typing this text, I'm sitting on a chair. In the room, there is also an armchair, which I use as a place for clothes I currently wear. Other clothes are stored in a big grey wardrobe with a mirror on it. And I forget to mention that on the ceiling, there is a chandelier and the walls are green.

Do those two sentences mean the same? I'll stay at home as long as it rains. I'll stay at home until it stops raining.

This Is Just About Nothing I've discovered that if I want to practise my English, I can do it even if I don't know what to talk about. There are so many topics to talk about, but I don't have to choose any of them and yet I can speak or write. It's amazing how many things one can say about nothing. And to be honest, this notebook entry is about nothing. Or do you think that so far I've written something concrete? In my opinion, this text is almost useless. Why do I say "almost"? There is only one reason to write something like this and that is practising the language.
