Code names and paper



So It's the first day of half way through the year and last night/this morning i decided that i was going to make this blog a daily one for a month to see how it goes... this will means that i will either keep to my regular standard of blog or it shall fall drasticley. So let's see what happens shall we?

I have re-employed the "Code name" thing i used to do when i was in Yorkshire so i can talk about people. Ut's pretty funny because people want to know which one is them... and i make it all mystical which i think can make it rather funny. What can also be more funny is whether I'm or exaggerating my story or just plainly making it up or whether a name isn't actually a name and has a different meaning.

However one code name i shall reveal is that i have given the spider a name. It is now 'Fat Albert'. I have not seen said spider for 3 days so i wonder if SHE has hidden in my pocket or my drawer. Yes i think Fat albert the spider is a she on the basis that in some species the female is bigger or more poisonous... i'm not sure if that's Jonkaworld believes only.

I need to do a lot today, but i can't crack on with it till a little while due to not having bank funds later on thanks to Minty. This includes going to a cave, going to some bird solicitors and visiting Swindon, but i need to go to the Cave first.

It's my sisters birthday today and we're going for a rave in the park... and when i say rave i mean mini golf. She's got a baby inside her which i think is nearly ready to jump out. I guess she has to be really careful or the baby will fall into the golf hole.

I have to see the bird solicitors and give them some papers - but this meant opening loads of letters that id not opened on the worry they were just bills. Most of them were and mostly for milkshake. I put all my paper in a box because i dont know if i need it. The box is rather big now and full up half way, it also includes my uni assignments.

And speaking of those... I seem to have just managed to get through on my course (Providing i do ok for my  exam) i did fairly ok with all of them other than Radio in context which i limped across with a pass. This should be something i should be amazing at - however the thing that failed me on this was academic writing and the ability to make my point fluently. That might have something to do with Dyslexia... an not its not that stupid excuse... i actually have it and i've got the tattoos to prove it. I went for an assessment on Wednesday which some of it was rather interesting.

Apparently there's this syndrome, i think its called something like Ma Baker Syndrome where the on paper white back ground is too bright for black text to be read. I tried to explain this to the optician who didn't understand what i was trying to say. My processing speed is also crap so reading can be challenging, something that's not good if your a radio presenter. I only just manage to get away with it on the radio.

Anyway the woman who assessed me brought out her go go gadgets which was pretty cool. I'l be getting these transparency things so it's easier to read things. She suggested tinted glasses which i wasn't sure on before, but then again i realised that would actually be quite cool, so i might change my mind on that. One of the impressive gadgets was the text to speech program which i thought was amazing. It was even cooler because the first voice that came up was the voice of Siri... John Briggs, who came to our uni a few months ago... I've not checked out the other voices but that would be so cool if Peter Dickson was in there too.

Anyway, im sure i'll have something to mention later. Byebyebye, byebyebye!
