Listen!

A couple of days ago, there was something I needed to remember. I was in a hurry, though, so I only jotted down a quick note: "WHK 229". Even as I wrote it, I told myself, "That's too cryptic; you'll never remember what it means."

I was right.

Addendum, 2 hrs later: I figured it out! I figured it out! It wasn't exactly important, but I figured it out!

I'll bet you were having to play all kinds of relational mind games to link back to the idea, or did it just pop back into place?

I took the CNN Sanjay Gupta memory quiz the other day. The items that contained words or letters I had no problem remembering. It was a little scary to realize that for the colors/shapes exercises, I had no retention. The shapes just didn't register past my retina. Makes me wonder which synapses are firing and which aren't. I wonder if I can leave my brain to science while I'm still alive...
