did you know

That you will DIE if you try to memorize 3 minutes of a Spanish story (that you wrote yourself)??  I didn't know that.  But apparently my Spanish 4 students say that this is true and their heads are on the way to imploding.  I've just learned so much about the brain and its limitations today.  Glad I'm enlightened.  And apparently this implosion happens after only 5 MINUTES OF TRYING TO MEMORIZE.  I'm going to keep tally on how many complaints I get in the next 60 minutes.  I'm probably already at 1000.
