IS the question that Lee rs most often asked by engaged men Heanswers Its true I thunk the reason why IS that you have more time I figured out that when I llved In Harbin and Sharon llved In Kendall, It took ten minutes to walk over there and ten minutes to walk back, and that's 20 minutes When you do that three or four times a day, It adds up to over an hour of walkrng back and forth Now that I don't have to do that, I have more time to study Another consideration rs that you can study and rest better, added Sharon lf you want to go to bed, you can, If you don't, there's no one makrng noise to hrnder your thlnkmg, so you can get a lot more done . 3 j I I . is -.., Wg,..t,l.i .. -f-- P--ef x t ht -I . .. - .
