What did I learn from the reading material last night?

I learned that by not checking the syllabus and not doing the assigned reading that I will not be prepared for class.  It is always important to keep up to date with your classes because each professor put a great amount of time and effort into each class and doing the same is very respectful.  The assigned readings almost always have something to do with the upcoming class, so by not doing the reading makes me just that much further behind.
