Archery and Memory Loss

Last week, I decided to try my hand at archery. My friend was from the archery club, so he managed to let us into the place early to try a few rounds. It was at the barn near Babcock. The bow was so cool, but getting the string on required more strength than I have. When I finally got the bow ready, and everything setup (it took almost 35 minutes), I kept missing the target by a few inches. It's frustrating, but shooting arrows at a target board is fun too, haha...

The most amazing/freaky thing happened to me on Sunday morning...I sort of lost of memory, and I wasn't even drinking before that. I fell asleep on Sunday morning 3 am after doing some reading, and I set my alarm clocks to 6 am. I wanted to wake up early and start working on my assignments. When I woke up, it was 12 noon. Definitely later than I wanted myself to wake up. I checked my alarm clock, it was turned off. My second clock was turned off too. When I called my mum to tell her about it, she said she called me at around 8 am, and I picked up the phone. The scary thing is, I have no memory of either answering the phone or turning off my alarm clocks. I thought things like that only happen to people who were drunk the night before??

The memory thing definitely doesn't happen to just drunk people. I called my dad at about 10pm one night to pick me up from work. All he said was "OK" and hung up, and then apparently went back to sleep. Luckily my mom woke up half an hour later and made my dad get up.

If you are tired enough that will happen. It is weird though. I used to set my alarm for 6 am and then I would turn it off and wake up at 8 and I would have no recollection of it. It is a very strange occurence.

I think that means you should sleep more. If I get woken up, but not fully, I am extremely hostile. I will basically be bitchy and then go back to bed and not remember the next day at all.
