I am having too many "elderly moments" ie my brain is a leaky sieve made out of holes.

Take today for instance. Got up to my German tutorial nice and punctual at 10am. No-one else there save one equally bewildered bloke from my class. So we got a cup of coffee and had a blether, and wondered where everyone else was for a bit. Then we checked with reception...yes we were in the right place on the right day etc. Unfortunately the nice young man on the desk couldn't get his internet login to work, so I couldn't check my email to be sure we had come at the right time. I rang my tutor as well but no answer.

Bugger, we thought. So I got a lift home, and checked my email, and there it was. Tutorial 17 September 11:00-15:30. Shite.

Quick jump on the bus (no time even for a ciggie) and caught the class. Only 40 mins late. Oooops.

Am I a complete fud, or do other people have memories this bad? I am not sure whether it is down to stress, having my head too full of study and work and stuff, or just my brain descending somewhat early into decrepitude...

I should be thankful it is my memory that is going and not my bladder control, I suppose.
