This means that besides lunch and packing my bags, I don't really have anything to do... and normally this would be nice, as I could do homework, or housework, or game, or work on a fun project, or get some exercise (one of the most important things, but I tend to value it least >.<), but as my mind is mostly occupied with having to go somewhere in x time, it's hard to think about how I should spend my time.
That's frustrating. Maybe what could help you a bit is setting alarms (test it first!!) so you can do stuff without having to think about having to go somewhere too much, because the alarms are there to remind you. :)
Hm, that's an interesting suggestion, although I somewhat doubt that could be the issue, as I never could forget.
In any case, this time it's going well, at some point I started playing piano and since then everything's fine. :)
Alarms (plural!) not only help with forgetting, but they also help with removing the burden of having to think about it yourself from you. Even subconsciously, you might be thinking about "oh I'm having to go at/in X!", the reassurance of alarms being there to remind you helps reduce that thought. Try it out a couple of times and see if it helps you. :)
