I didn't remember the context, like the social cues or what my classes were.

I remember like not being entirely sure, like what classes was I in as a sophomore?

You know, I don't know.

And fortunately,

I could kind of use the, you know, everyone knew I had been hit in the head.

And it was this big accident.

And my friend, two other friends were in the car with me.

They were also severely injured.

But we sort of had the excuse of this to justify that I wasn't entirely clear about everything.

I remember the first day I went back to school, for instance.

And my dad drove me and, you know, and I figured, by that time I'd figured out what my classes were.

I don't remember the exact moment where he laid out my classes, but I remember thinking like, I don't know what they are.

And at some point, you know, it gets figured out.

And I can basically be slow and because everyone knows I've been hurt.

But then I have to pick up everything through context clues.

Like it's a mixture of memory and,

You know, think back to when you were 15.

Like, you don't remember everything.

Even now, I don't remember everything.

So it's a mixture of, like, reducing my memory and, like, reading social cues off everyone, right?
