Take A Break
I'm going to take a break from writing about University. The little man in my head just went YAY. And I think it's time to reflect upon the past. Lets go with a random subject. That my friends just brought up..aka not that random at all.
Colour Blind
OK, some of you will be thinking a good song done by the counting crows, others WTF did he just say about crows. But this is about my condition, being colourblind may seem like a little thing most of the time to me, it isn't it really affects my life. I cant see tones, eg scarlet, turquoise, indigo, violet. Also cant see purple. Purple is not a colour to me, its another shade of blue. And this ain't a big deal most of the time.
At primary school I remember going to the nurses office for a test, they had a pad with coloured dots all over it and the nurse asked me to say what number was in the green dots. I must have sat there for about 5 minutes straining looking at that page turning it around wondering if she was just playing with me, she did a few more pages I still couldn't see these numbers.
I went back to class then my teacher told the class I was colourblind, then came the thing that would follow me for the rest of my life. THE TESTING. What colour is this .....? I don't think they realise I don't care what colour a piece of paper is. And god forbid if I get a colour right five times in a row apparently I'm lying, I'm actually perfectly OK and I'm using this condition to get more attention. Some people shouldn't judge others by there own standards.
I also remember painting at primary school either the sea or the sky pink or purple. Really good abstract work if that was what I was trying.

just because you're colour blind, it doesn't mean that you don't fill other people's lives up with colour.
