how to learn

i'm being a little bit of a hypocrite here because sometimes i don't follow my own advice.  ok, when you're trying to learn something.  freaking listen to what the teacher is saying.  just shut up and listen.  i swear, so many times i'm trying to tell someone how to do something and they totally don't hear what i say and i have to repeat the same thing four times.  so just slow down and listen.  then after your teacher is done talking, then ask questions.

 

but i understand the other end of it, definitely.  you're excited to learn something.  you're overeager.  your brain is overloaded.  you don't want to forget your question.  blah blah blah.

 

still, just listen.  listen . . .
