That's good to hear... I mean, see! I mean, hear!
When I study, I often stand and read aloud. For some reason it helps me retain what I've read. I have always assumed it was because I'm using more of my brain via reading, speaking and hearing, to grasp and hold onto the information. It's one of the reasons I can't wait to get my Kno textbook reader because I also like to stand and pace, like I'm giving a speech. Most textbooks are so cumbersome that it makes it difficult, at time. My SO is getting used to it. I sometimes wonder if my neighbors can hear me. Fortunately, they're teachers so they probably understand it if they can.
