bad memory?

I'm going to be honest with you. My Morning Paper's inspiration lasted a whole of one day. Literally, I only have three pages written down, which computes to one day. So, fine. Writing 3 pages of nothingness in the morning is not my thing. (I usually try to squeeze in every last minute of sleep I can get before being late, which is never enough time for me to be ON time)


If morning papers didn't work, what's another way I can try to better myself? Well... over the weekend, I was making plans with my boyfriend for our one year anniversary. I suddenly remembered that I had free movie tickets from my boss, (we are a frugal couple, so don't judge haha) so I suggested we go see Shutter Island (I heard that's a great movie btw). Excitedly, I reach into my wallet to find that they aren't there. I reach hard into the deep recesses of my brain, and finally come to the conclusion that I must have given them to my boyfriend for safe keeping, as I tend to forget and lose things. My boyfriend, who is a very, I don't know what the word is here, but he's very meticulous, and is very detailed oriented, says I never gave it to him. So after hearing a lecture from him the entire night about how I was forgetful and not careful, I go home to look for the tickets. I check my vanity, my desk, my night stand, my other wallets, and nothing. I scan the room, and my eyes lay on my garbage can. Aha! Maybe my dad threw them out while vaccuming the room, I check the garbage can and amongst many reciepts I find them! and FINALLY, it comes to me. I was cleaning out my wallet before my vacation, and must have threw them out without checking the pile of receipts carefully.


Not only did I almost throw away my movie tickets, but that same week, I bought the same textbook TWICE. yeah, that's right.


Well, here's where I'm going with that long story. Since I do have a bad memory, as the above situation is not a unique one, I am going to try and improve my memory. Here's what I got from google.


This was the first link I got -  http://pmemory.com/how-it-works/?id=A100008&gclid=CIWu_savmaACFag65QodPGZneA


Now, this website has a list of these historical dates, mathematical equations, and Japanese that can all be memorized after 23 lessons! Wow! If I can memorize all of that material, I'll be impressed! I'll never forget a thing in my life, and won't have to hear my boyfriend's whining ever again!


So - how much is this going to cost me? $6.91 USD per lesson? and I need 23 lessons to improve my skills? I'm not good at math, but that's a lot of money for me to spend on my memory. I'd rather just keep my bad one.


:P



This one made me laugh!
