I am only 18 years old. I am pretty sure my memory isn't supposed to be as bad as it is. It really is terrible. Just a short while ago I was sitting at my desk trying to remember what it was I was going to be writing about tonight. It took me five whole minutes to actually remember, despite planning the blog in my head earlier today. Ironically the blog in question was going to be about my memory. That isn't even supposed to be a snappy little joke highlighting the overall point of the blog by indicating I have forgotten something. I usually save stuff like that till the end of the blog to round It off. I actually forgot. I am genuinely worried about my memory.

I do this thing pretty much everyday, which often goes a little something like this:

“I'm going to watch a DVD … I think I will watch Brasseye … I'll just try and find it”

Then I look for the DVD

“Wait, what am I looking for again?”

Then generally I have to pause for a couple of minutes literally retracing my mental steps until I manage to remember, but usually when this happens, actually remembering something seems like more hard work than it should be.

I am not a hypochondriac. I don't think I have alzheimer's at 18. I just wouldn't be entirely surprised if I turned out to have some kind of memory deficiency in middle age.

The main reason I think this is because …

erm …

...I forgot what I was talking about ... Sorry

(told you I saved it till the end usually)
