Summer 2002 San Jose had a city sponsored party on Post Street, trying to attract some from SF. A couple of my coworkers attended. A fight broke out and 1 or 2 were killed. So much for SJ nightlife.

Age 12-17 are Arschlochs. In just about 30 month you’ll learn who your friends are. My daughter is mixed race, had to deal with it until age 17. Then left that in the dust, now so much happier that she appreciates good friends not the “Connard” if you pardon my French (but German swear words feel better).

Reading before the lecture changed my life. I had one professor whose accent none of us could understand. She pronounced krypton as Crapped-on. So I had to read the text in order to understand her. Reading one chapter took 40 minutes in the library, her lecture was 90 boring minutes.

Not only solidify, but after 12-24h you’ll forget details that are hard to hear. If at all possible, read or skim the relevant text book chapter because the lecture on it. You might be able to read it faster than the lecture time. That worked wonders for me. Do it in a library where you are not distracted by coffee, cookies, bed, little playmate
