That makes sense. One of the problems I had when I went to college was that I
didn't know how to study. I graduated from public high school on the honor 
roll
with out even trying... I could learn, but I never had to study. It hurt me
later when I HAD to study and didn't know how. That knowlege (sp?) came 
ter.
