I neeed brain training or something because sometimes it feels as though I am "losing" the klnowledge I had acquired. I just cannot seem to remember some topics off the top of my head and considering that I hadn't been in school for a month now makes it worse, sometimes it feels as though I know certain words but when I think about in my mind it feels as though I am saying "What is that?" as if I saw it for the first time. I know I have poor sleeping habits but still I don't why I am "losing" my knowledge or is it just me? How do you deal with "losing your knowledge? I am using the term "losing" loosely as it may not necessarily mean that I am actually losing anything.

Such as how to spell simple words.

Do lots of calculus

It's kinda natural to forget things dude.

This isn't something you should be worrying about. :/

it's called Summer Vacation. it's perfectly normal if you're not an absolute nerd.

But soon it will be normal to be an absolute nerd!

I had a great method of not losing my knowledge, but I forgot it.

take math class and actually try to understand it.
Or do sudokus and crossword puzzles and that kind of thing. those keep your mind sharp. Like a muscle, it gets weak with disuse. and unfortunately, playtime only strengthens the one side that cant help me get a job.

Irony at its best.

Read books. Books with engaging prose that is crammed full of words you are unfamiliar with. Read some Burroughs. The prose in Princess of Mars made me dig out the thesaurus a few times. That'll keep your brain sharp.

Flame · **Reply #13 on:** July 01, 2009, 05:16:55 AM

Yeah. Reading keeps your mind fresh, AND entertained. Read books of a high level. long books, big books. Not the Magic School bus. (Although it IS informative.)

Invest in a brain cork then.

Serious answer though, is this surprisingly:

Rule #1: The internet makes you stupid.

I don't blame the internet for making me stupid, I blame it for destroying my grammar.

I find if I can't remember it, it wasn't important to begin with.

Now where the [tornado fang] did I put my wallet..

Another good book to sharpen your brain with: A Void by Georges Perec. Throughout the prose, the author doesn't use words that contain the letter "e". You'll be hauling out the thesaurus and dictionary and broadening your vocabulary in no time.

Quote from: Here's an excerpt.

Noon rings out. A wasp, making an ominous sound, a sound akin to a klaxon or a tocsin, flits about. Augustus, who has had a bad night, sits up blinking and purblind. Oh what was that word (is his thought) that ran through my brain all night, that idiotic word that, hard as I'd try to pun it down, was always just an inch or two out of my grasp - fowl or foul or Vow or Voyal? - a word which, by association, brought into play an incongruous mass and magma of nouns, idioms, slogans and sayings, a confusing, amorphous outpouring which I sought in vain to control or turn off but which wound around my mind a whirlwind of a cord, a whiplash of a cord, a cord that would split again and again, would knit again and again, of words without communication or any possibility of combination, words without pronunciation, signification or transcription but out of which, notwithstanding, was brought forth a flux, a continuous, compact and lucid flow: an intuition, a vacillating frisson of illumination as if caught in a flash of lightning or in a mist abruptly rising to unshroud an obvious sign - but a sign, alas, that would last an instant only to vanish for good.
