They hope they're learning at least enough to last 24 hours.
I remember forgetting a LOT of what I learned in college. But what I do
remember from college was what took my breath away, and sometimes that was in
class and sometimes it wasn't. I remember how to read Middle English aloud.
I did it just Monday night, at a music practice when someone asked what
language Edi Beo was in and I sang a verse in Middle English (reading, not
from memory). I remember as much useful information that I learned in
conversations with friends from different parts of the world, though, as I
remember from what was going to be on the test.
