Well, I am a hyperthymic person. That's why I do not forget many things in my daily routine. However, I would like to bring up one such incident when I forgot an appointment with my doctor. I vividly remember last year I took an appointment for my eye tests because I was a student attending classes online. My eyes were generally feeling watery and became red. So, I decided to consult a doctor regarding this matter. Additionally, I booked the appointment two weeks prior as my exams had completed. I was free at home and thought it would not be a challenge for me to attend that appointment. However, after a few days, my friends planned to go for an off-road excursion, and as I am an adventurous person, I agreed in a flash. Even more, I completely forgot about my appointment and was busy enjoying time with my buddies. After two weeks, when I came back home and started studying again, I began facing difficulties in reading and some problems with my eyesight. Later on, out of the blue, I remembered my appointment. Unfortunately, the date had passed. At that time, I felt down in the dumps because of my negligence. Later on, I booked my appointment again and set a reminder for it on my phone. Since I know that I do not have a sharp memory, I always make an effort to remember my important appointments.
