My Memory

[XenXheng]

Can anybody recommend any good astral/magic/dreaming/meditation techniques for improving memory to crystal clarity?  Of course I'm not expecting 100% comprehension, but it's cool to shoot for it, right?

I've been in college 5 years now, and I've always had a terrible time remembering things.  I can squeak by with B's and C's (always have), but I want those A's.

So recently I've been looking for ways to improve my memory, that will cut down on my study time and lead me to better comprehension.  I felt bad about this at first, because I thought I was being lazy and looking for a quick way out, but I actually want to exit this whole school process so I can go *do* something important.  I'm sick of learning languages at an agonizingly slow pace, and want to get out there and interpret and translate as soon as possible.  So I guess you could call me lazy in the acquisition of my skills, but certainly not the application!

On a side note, I've never understood college, sitting around for six hours learning by theorizing and memorizing, when experience seems much the better teacher.  But since I'm stuck in here for another year or so, I want to make the best of my situation and improve my retention a hundred fold if possible!

So any suggestions, friends?

Thanks,
Chris
