hathycolApaarently, I am colour-blind and need an eye test. *blinks from behind glasses* Firstly, I know I have bad eyes, and there's not a chance in hell I'm blind. Stupid QuickScan test.
For those who don't know, the QuickScan test is used to pick up how you learn and to spot any problems so you can get the best marks possible. Now, in some ways, it's useful. Jess, as predicted, has tested dyslexic. She's suspected this for years, and now is actually going to get diagnosed. I am, apparently, an auditory/kinestetic learner. This means I read fast, I write fast, and I learn through listening and doing. Thought as much, frankly.
The eyesight thing is a bit of a joke. Lara in my history class, who's blind, found is hysterically funny that she tested 1. as a visual learner and 2. it advised her to go and get her eyes checked. I mean, really. (She did it again and apparently she's auditory instead)
Anyway. Generally good day. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I like college. I am Making Friends while keeping the old, I've worked out that sitting on the bottom of the bus prevents carsickness, I'm loving the lessons (they let me do lessons that I like! Wahey!) and it's all just generally fun. And we watched the end of LOTR at lunch today, meaning that I cried (again) but it was happy tears. Sort of. I knew that Boromir was gonna kick the bucket, but it makes me cry, and I'm just glad that my fandom still does that to me. Mind you, Meridian and Die Me, Dichtomoy still set me off, so...
And now it's the weekend. I fancy making a CD for college next week, I have to do some homework and I have to work in The Uniform, but apart from that... life is damned good at the moment.
Lets see how long this lasts, eh?
