I am slowly but surely losing it. I know I have a terrible memory, but this is getting
ridiculous. All too often these days, I seem to find myself walking into my class, sitting down, the professor starts up about some homework assignment and I honestly have no recollection of ever being assigned said homework assignment. Okay that is a little exaggerated, but really, I only vaguely (and I mean the vaguest of vaguely) remember the assignment. It's like my brain has gone on a permanent vacation, and let me tell you, it's definitely not a good thing.
Here's a couple of examples:
1. Yesterday I had my music class. In my music class we have to make a book out of a song. We have this huge packet of songs to choose from, right? So I flip through all the songs and only find a few that I would like to do. I picked Pumpkin, Pumpkin. It's almost Halloween, I had some fun ideas, so I went for it. [back to yesterday] we had to turn in a storyboard, a rough draft of how we wanted to make our book to turn into our professor so he could make sure we were on the right track. I was sitting next to Ginger and we were talking about our storyboards and she asks which story I chose, I reply, "Pumpkin, pumpkin" and she replies, "Isn't that one on the list of songs we can't use?" My thought process, "CRAP! There is a list we can't use?! Oh wait, I kind of remember something about a list we can't use..."
Long story short, we check the list and sure enough, Pumpkin, Pumpkin was on it. So, I waited until after class to talk to my professor about it. My plan was to show him that I had done the assignment, but I had totally forgotten about the list and chose a song from it and ask if I could turn a new one in next time. As he is looking over my storyboard he said that I had taken a very original approach and he would allow me to use it and put a little check mark on the top of my paper. 10 points for Jaimie!
2. I was in my drama class on Tuesday night and we made sock puppets. [Yes, I make sock puppets in college] Anyway, we got an assignment in class to finish our puppets and got partnered up to perform a 3 minute puppet show next class (Thursday) Then she gave all these other instructions and I swear I listened to every word. Okay, so on to Wednesday, I was in my dance class and was talking to a girl that just happens to be in my drama class and she mentioned this paper we had to write to go along with our puppet show. Immediately my brain goes into panic mode as I realize I had NO CLUE what she was talking about, then I thought about it a little more and again, I kind of remembered the assignment.
Well that's it for now, hopefully I can get my act together, or start bringing a tape recorder to class...
