So it's been an academic year dominated by a certain... pandemic. But to university we still went, eager to learn and to... learn some more? I'm not really sure. Either way, in this video I aim to take you through all of what I learned this year at University. What secrets did I discover, what hidden truths? And what new and remarkable skills did I pick up along the way?

I thought "what I learned at university this year" would be like a 3 second clip

It reminds me a lot of Flygon, especially with the head.

As someone who also started their first year at uni this year (doing Palaeontology, no less) I cannot agree more with everything said in this video 😂😂 Also I’m curious Doug, what are you and Ben studying?

Exactly - origami dragons are great. I'm doing History and English and Ben's doing Palaeontology!

@@dougajames Great combination and same as mine! At age 74 I have never lost my love of both History and English! I am currently reading a book about Shakespeare, "1599, A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare" by Professor James Shapiro, so I am combining both interests! Enjoy your studies!

So you've learned to make tea, origami and to condense many months of learning into a vid less than half an hour! Still doing better than I!!

Well if you can manage to follow these instructions then you can tick one of those off the list! Could probably also add 'ability to decipher the right thing to do from terrible instructions' to the resume...

I like dragons 👍😎 Next one could be an owl. Pretty sure there was much more to your University year...but perhaps not as vlogable ( is vlogable a word? It is now I guess 🙂) I may have to order some origami paper for when we get the next wave of heat warnings...good idea, thanks 😁

Beautiful dragon hope you did have a great year at university 👍

Well, since one of the dragons is blue and the other is red, we could imagine that their is some sort of sexual dimorphism in origami dragons with the male dragons being blue and relatively small, while the female dragons are larger and the color red instead.

I tried following the instructions on making my own origami dragon, and somehow my house burned down. I blame the 17th fold. Also welcome back, hopefully the heatwave for you guys isnt as bad as what we had in the pacific northwest about a month ago.

@dougajames 2 жыл бұрын

Now that's the chaos I expect from following my instructions! It has been pretty hot but it's cooling down now... having to find the lowest point in the house with the most airflow to just stand in all day was not fun.

@@dougajames Brutal. I found that soaking and freezing a towel and draping it over a fan helped for a short bit but you gotta be careful with how you place the towel so the water doesnt fry the fan as it thaws. Also, if you have an old coffee can or something about that size, fill it with water and freeze it, then sit with it wrapped in a tea-towel between your thighs or feet.

Thank Christ this isn't a "how to perform CPR video." If it were there could be something of more importance dead and mangled other than just that poor dragon. Thankfully I watch your channels for awesome history and sciencey wiencey type stuff, not origami or CPR, and that content is always spot on. Good luck on your upcoming trip!

My final semester I took a class in child psychology, or something like that. In my second class we were told we were going to have to do a PowerPoint presentation. I had managed to avoid a presentation of any kind for the last 4 years (working full time), definite case of anxiety, and I didn’t actually need the class. The wife, at the time, thought I should do something teach….y. Picked up my stuff, sold them their books back for 1/2 price, and twice a week I would spend the morning in Dunkin Donuts until time to go to work- better than going to the casino before work like she did. Hang on!….casino….oh yeh, I worked at another casino so I knew she was throwing our money away. My stunt only cost us $60. Never used the stupid degree- many dealers/croupiers had degrees, or commercial pilots license, or were ex-thugs, Buddhist monks, flew attack helicopters in Vietnam, a Zulu, Coptic Egyptian, would vacation fighting in the Balkans, ex-Royal Marine, and stuff.
