After counting through all of my journal entries over the five days, most of my memory failures were episodic. After counting out each of the different memory failure events I had thirty-four episodic memory failures out of fifty-nine. Most of these episodic failures were about where I had put something, I am not surprised that this is what I forgot the most. I have a very hard time remembering where I put things; I am a very disorganized person. Prospective memories were the second most common memory failures I had over the course of the five journal days. The third most common memory failure I had was failure of semantic memory.
One of my particular forgetful events was when I forgot to set the timer for the chicken in the oven. It was the first of November at about 6:00 PM. I was going between the kitchen and my living room in my apartment in Mount Pleasant. I was baking chicken in advance so it would be easier to make enchiladas the next day. I…show more content… I was on the stairs in my apartment talking to my boyfriend who was downstairs in the living room. I had decided to skip my one class that I had that day to work on other things. I was quite tired and groggy as I had been for the past few days when my boyfriend asked me what day it was. I said it was Friday. It was not Friday, it was Thursday. After he asked and I answered, it took me a while to remember that yesterday I had gone to drawing class. My drawing class is on Mondays and Wednesdays and I had already gone to my Tuesday class once this week, so it was in fact Thursday. I think I forgot what day it was because I didn’t have my normal Thursday routine. I usually get up and make breakfast, get a shower, do my makeup, do a little homework, and then go to class. Since I had decided not to go to class, I skipped getting a shower and doing my makeup, which messed up my routine. I was absentmindedly going about my day not thinking it was a class
