The more I thought about it, the more I realized I wasn't crazy about attending to begin with! Thanks for the input about the recording. <strong>Ben</strong>: Thanks! I'm honored. My name's Josh, though, not Steve. :) Ramses,

About the recording: it's a great thing to do. I'm actually always talking to myself when no one's around (No, I'm not schizophrenic or something, hehe, it's just something I do), and from time to time I record myself with Audacity to check my progress. Keeping those files and listening to them later can be a big motivator, especially when you feel down and you're at a point in your study that you feel worthless about your progress.
