I can't remember this. I don't know why. It seems that school days all blend together and are indistinguishable from each other - as if it's one big day. I don't really sleep much, so that could be part of it.
Certain things are easier for individuals to remember, and what these things are varies from individual to individual. For example - I can remember nearly every Magic card in the last 3 sets, but I can't remember to do a routine blog post. Why is that? Does it simply come down to a matter of what is more important to an individual? If so, I worry for myself and my GPA.
This is more related to adults, but that suddenly reminded me of a Calvin and Hobbes comic in which Calvin's dad wonders:
ReplyDelete"Why is it I can recall a cigarette ad jingle from 25 years ago, but I can't remember what I just got up to do?"
Trivial bits of interesting information are potentially a waste of brain space, as there are many unimportant things to know, and they all come to the front of the brain when it's unimportant. Why can I remember every song in every Guitar Hero game; or rather, why do I recall that easier than the directions to a lake or the effects of the Beer Hall Putsch, even though I know all of those things? Importance is not a factor, but interest is.
