The accuracy of my memory stopped concerning me when I realized that I could no longer remember much of anything. I feel sure that each new memory erases an old one. My memory is eaten away at by something within me and because of this, I log everything that happens in my day. I note conversations and how I feel about them; I write down the color of the sky. My notebook is my second skin. Yet, each moment that I attack with my pen is already dead. I am feeding on the carrion of the past and now makes me hungry.

A classmate of mine, Casey Smith, once had a theory about the mind's capacity. The mind can only fit so many sugar cubes, and when full, by pushing one in, one falls out. Thus, after studying all night for an AP history test we sat in the class room with our ears covered and our eyes closed. If the teacher began to speak about anything not test related Casey would shout at him to stop, "The sugar cubes are only so many!!"
