I feel like I'm using this forum as an advice column for lonely housewives, but I promise that's not the case!
I've always been the "smart" one and I've never had issues learning new things. I did well in school, but left early due to distractions *ahem* boys *ahem*, so I guess that makes me not so smart.
My problem now is that my brain seems less absorbant and I have a hard time concentrating and "taking things in". I'm currently doing a minor certificate in horticulture and a unit that should only take a week to complete has taken almost a month. That's partly to do with family commitments, but mainly because I get so confused I have to walk away before it ends up with my books burned to a pile of ashes. I've read the information at least ten times but still can't seem to remember anything. It's the same with any general information. I've listened to the same podcast three times this past week but have only managed to learn the proper way to say the name of a star that I've now forgotten.
Is there anything I can do to help condition my brain and bring back some storage space for information? I'm only 23, this isn't supposed to happen to somebody at my age
And I think the star was Aldebaran.
