unforgettable

as i enter a few weeks or so into the new year, i have seen that i haven't made much improvement in the department of keeping things. since the beginning of the school season i have lost many objects: at least 5 or 6 water bottles, 2 jackets, 1 peacoat, 1 pair of hard lens contacts, 1 pair of glasses, 1 pair of shoes, 1 bible, 1 laptop charger, 1 tie, many t shirts, many socks, and many many pens and pencils (this is not anything special). And those are just some of the things that I haven't been able to find. i've probably lost my phone at least a dozen times and currently i have just lost my phone, my brand new laptop charger, and probably my sanity. the cause its probably a lack of sleep, but if i thought about it a little more, its probably all the time i invest google searching articles, copying and pasting them to word documents, then underlining and bolding words that distort the meaning of the actual articles. all this time i spent probably won't mean anything in the future, yet it seems like hundreds and even thousands of debaters go through the same thing each night. we take it a bit too seriously, and i'm afraid it will take a toll. and while we forget the wordly things of this life, i just hope i won't be as forgotten as this post will be in a few weeks.
