I'm not as smart as I used to be.
I sorta started realizing this gradually and I guess it just hit me recently. I know it may sound trivial, but let's hope it stays that way and that it doesn't progress into something worse.
Before, I was able to retain a lot more information, but recently I've been forgotting little things like the stages of cellular respiration or the difference between DNA transcription and translation. I was also a lot wittier (at least, in my opinion). Now, I stumble over my words a lot. I often find myself searching for that thing, you know, it's on the tip of my tongue, I swear, just give me a minute, but the more I try to remember it, the less I actually know what I'm trying to think about.
I even end sentences in prepositions.
Maybe it's the lack of sleep. I don't even get to sleep in on weekends because I usually have work or class. Maybe it's the fact that I'm a senior and I'm slacking off in general. Or maybe I've just spread myself too thin this year and I need some time to myself.
Schoolrehearsalsworkvolunteerhomework, I just need to squeeze a little rest in there.
Yeah, that'd be nice. "Rest" ...
Fishing for compliments? Not really. Complaining? You bet.
