Amnesia

Back in college, I took a medicine that I think had a great impact in my memory retention. After taking that medicine, I feel I had a memory gap, seems like a part of my brain got chipped off. Since then I've had a hard time remembering things and memorizing stuffs. Whenever I need to do something, I really have to write it down right away or i will forget. But don't get me wrong, i am still not an organized person! Hard to explain! i really get agitated and off track if i lose track of the schedule and things. I also work with reminders and schedules. I have my own way of remembering important things. Most of my close friends know it and laugh about my being forgetful! As in i forget things in a split second! So anyway, I remember one of my friends told me that they cannot explain how despite being forgetful, I manage to memorize scripts (yes, I was part of a theater group back in college and has participated in several plays). Then I realized that perhaps its really different when you love the thing that you do and it's in the heart. In my case, being forgetful did not get in the way of my being a thespian. Of course, another thing that I love to do that is teaching, which also required A LOT of memorization. Amazing how i managed. But of course OHPs and Powerpoints served as my security blankets! haha! That's my little realization about myself. No weakness gets in way for something you want. The heart remembers for you :)
