I developed this skill in a particularly torturous class that I didn't care too much to be conscious for, so I never was. However, I always had a full set of notes afterwards to quickly review for any relevant information. (And I creeped my friends out by sleeping with my eyes open. Apparently it was pretty uncanny.) But alas, all good things must come to an end. I've apparently gotten too old for that, as falling asleep in class now means missed information that will probably be on the test.

Uh, while you're pondering that one, I just want to say, love the fact that you're able to influence those young people while they're still "moldable"! It's almost unimaginable where such internalized lessons will lead them throughout their lives. Way to go! :-D Jackie, I always wondered… if you turn around and face backwards, then use your hindsight… can you see the future?

I meet a lot of young people in the throes of setting out in the world . So often they have their eye on only one part of the picture....it's great looking back with the benefit of hindsight isn't it? ( you can't look forward with hindsight - but you get my drift). 4am would be way to much for me - even if I have to get an occasional early flight at that sort of time I am out of kilter for a couple of days.
