text:  I was pretty good. I have a really good memory. If I write something down, I pretty much remember it, sadly, to this day. If I see something or hear it, the only thing that really doesn't stick is if I read it, which is why I didn't buy any books. I bought five books while in college. That was it, the textbooks. They were mostly German because I couldn't get around it. If I read it with dyslexia, the chore of reading makes it worse. So I took copious notes.
