Gemstar6 I *think* that alot of people learn in different ways. I don't mind having music playing at all while I am reading or occuped. Sometimes I find it relaxes that part of your subconscious and I take more in. I don't agree with headphones as they are too 'crowdy'...

Do you accept compiments?

reco13 @reco13 (605) • Philippines 22 Sep 09
