I know. It was a freaking miracle. It was for an exam I had. 4 hour exam, split over two days. So I just did 2000 words per day, seeing as I'd already written the answer to the question.
That... is quite astounding. :Eek:
I have a terrible, but also fantastic memory. It's weird. I don't bother remembering things that I don't find interesting. But at the same time, if I need to remember something I can. In 6 hours I memorised (word perfect) 2000 words. Then I memorised another 2000 in another 6 hours that same day.
I wish I could retain it all. Sometimes I remember the entire conversation, but it's always well after I've been yelled at for not listening
I can still hear everything. My friends are constantly being stunned at my ability to hear everything they're saying haha. I just don't reply very much. xD
I'm really quite hopeless with people. I do the same thing - mull over what's been said. So I'm always two, maybe three steps behind what's going on. Sometimes I just smile and nod, and say "Yeah, no worries" and get out of a conversation with no idea what just happened.
I often like to mull over things that have been said. Even questions. And then people get angry because I haven't answered their question. Also, if I say something like "Hello", and you reply "Hi! What's your name?", I won't be expecting the question. I'd expect...like, "how are you?", or "nice day, isn't it?". So I just flatline, and forget my name for a second or two. xD
Occasionally, when I'm doing something and conversing with someone, I just forget I'm even having a conversation and go silent. People have gotten quite annoyed at me for that.
I always forget where I am in conversations.
xD You gotta keep up with flow of conversation
