Looking to Increase my Memory Options

[quantum_passion]

I'm a big time nerd, I love to study and do intellectual activities--but I sense that my lack of good memory and recall ability gets in the way of my passion and goal. I hope to one day do theoretical physics, but it is an immensely competitive field--and my memory only makes my chances worse.

I consider myself to be a visual learner and I'm relatively creative. However, I am definitely not an auditory learner, in fact- I have a hard time memorizing certain pieces of information. I was very embarrassed in my internship meeting with my physics adviser and he told me something 2-3 times, he asked me one minute later and I forgot!! I'm not stupid though, I am a straight A student.

Note: I often get tired throughout the day even after many hours of sleep (along with a couple of other symptoms). I suspect I might have anemia which is thought to interfere with memory (maybe I'll take Fe pills daily).

I had trouble concentrating before but I came upon this forum a couple months ago and I feel that it helped. Things I take now are:

3g Piracetam 4-5 days a week
1g Cholin 4-5 days a week
1 Multivitamin daily (I forget sometimes though)
1 fish oil daily (I forget at times as well though)
I've recently started to take around 2 cups of tea daily to help me stay focus as well

p.s. I'm very envious of those with very good or phenomenal memory /rant
