explained…you were NOT listening!

You want me to what… listen and take notes???

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

learn and know it!


Which means I might ask it on your quiz!

Just because you didn’t hear it, doesn’t mean I didn’t explain

it.


Contrary to the opinion’s of many former students, I

don’t speak just because I like to hear myself…

I’m actually an introvert…I enjoy silence!

research it, summarize it and type it …
