24-04-2017: Memorization

Yesterday, I finally took it upon myself to start practicing the songs for the entrance exams. Well, one of the entrance exams anyway. And I already have them down for the most part, in fact.

The reason I say “for the most part” is that there’s one line in one of the songs I keep forgetting. Just when I thought I already had it memorized once, it disappeared again as if I never even looked at the lyrics. And I repeated the process God knows how many times. What makes it funny is that the other song I was able to memorize entirely within 15 minutes.

I wonder why that is. Usually once I memorize something, it sticks with me for life. Just like with one out of the two songs I’ve had to practice. And I’ve memorized this one almost fully as well - but I only keep forgetting a single damn line. How?

I just hope I won’t forget it again in the exam situation itself. That’s my only concern. Everything else I’m feeling fairly confident about. And I do genuinely hope I manage to get into one of the schools.

I’d tell you to wish me luck, but it’s realistically too late to do so by the time you read this.
