What does this imply?
Hello guys,

I'm wondering what the author is implying here. Why does she say, she couldn't remember? I'm only guessing that time flied fast, or that the author had gotten used to a new situation where she was now.

I inherently understood this. I tried to remember all the way back to a time before I had ever heard of Miranda Priestly— five weeks earlier—and couldn't. But I knew that such a magical time had existed.

Hey Sonia, 
I think you're right, and the author is suggesting that this new situation is so intense that it has made it difficult to remember a time when things were different, before Miranda Priestly entered their life. There is also a sense due to the last sentence that the last 5 week period has left the author thinking that they were in a better/happier/more positive place before the new situation with Miranda.
