I've been asked to speak to a cognitive psychology class at UCLA on Monday morning, talking about memory skills and learning and whatnot.

At least, I think the class is in cognitive psychology. They told me, but -- this is the beauty part -- I forgot.

Maybe I'm not supposed to be there as an example... but as a specimen.

UPDATE: That was a blast. My thanks to professor Steve, and to a great group of about 250 students, who made me feel welcome despite my complete lack of formal education in stuff they know lots about.
