When I write a note, it sticks in my head differently.
I used to like studying a lot.
I have to study, study, and study because I have to learn everything. Everyone expects me to be an expert on everything.
I spent many, many hours in the stack at the University of Washington library just wandering around, when my dad was working, as a kid.
It sounds so geeky, but I really do like studying and reading, and if I'm not working on 'Harry Potter,' then my greatest relaxation is to sit with a book.
I was an engineering student and spent a lot of time in the library, and no one applauds when you finish your calculations.
Doing well in school was a cool thing to do when I was in high school, so I had a blast.
I wasn't bad at school, but I was never a bookworm.
The school-boy doesn't force himself to learn his vocabularies and rules altogether at night, but knows that be must impress them again in the morning.
