[for a long time, there was a peaceful quiet in the library as a young man poured over his book, occasionally scribbling out notes to himself. This began a progressive decay as frustration and confusion warred over his face. Eventually, like a too tight rubberband, he snapped.]

Ah...

Would you like some help?

[dr_mcdere]

That's true, but it's important to make sure you're not trying to do too much all at once. It's hard to remember new material if you don't have a firm grasp of the old.

[touch_sensitive]

... I guess I could slow down a little.

[dr_mcdere]

Just study in shorter sessions throughout the entire day instead of cramming. Give yourself time to absorb the material. It also helps if you review right before you go to bed.

[touch_sensitive]

Ah... it does?

[dr_mcdere]

Yes. The last hour before you sleep is when you absorb the most new information. Ah, but not the last ten minutes before you fall asleep, so don't wait too long.

[touch_sensitive]

Oh...

[dr_mcdere]

I'm sure you'll master this material if you continue to apply yourself to it.

[touch_sensitive]

Thanks.

... I think I'm gonna stop for today though.

[the math book goes onto a pile of other books, which look like they cover material from elementary to highschool over a variety of subjects]

You've been working hard.

[follows his gaze and nods]

I ... have a lot to learn.

[dr_mcdere]

You're really ambitious. It's impressive.

*IS NICE LIKE THAT*

Has it been a long time since you were in school?

[touch_sensitive]

... Yeah, I guess you could say that.

[dr_mcdere]

...Ah, sorry.
