Your very brief description appears highly consistent with a possible ADHD diagnosis. Go talk to a psychiatrist ASAP if you haven't yet. Medication can do wonders and improve your quality of life and future prospects dramatically. So can understanding better why your mind works the way it does.

A psychiatrist told me once that curiously, many complaints that people have about memory are better explained by attention patterns. E.g in order to notice, remember or understand something, you need to direct your attention to it, and if your attention is shifting all the time, you are not going to retain very many things.
