Bright Splinters Of The Mind

Just as I predicted, all of my work for uni has come at once. Soon I'll be overloaded like I was in December/January all over again. I've decided to try and start earlier; today I've been making revision cards for Systems of Language, starting with Phonetics. There are just so many things to remember though. Luckily my memory is pretty extensive so as long as I go over the notes enough times it should be fine. The test is worth 40% of the module so I hope it goes well. After this week I only have three weeks left of my first year.. madness! It's gone so quickly. I still think it's ridiculous that in the whole year only 5 months of those are spent at university. Why not squeeze the whole course into a year and a half and get it over and done with! Tim gave me a book today about research on Autistic savants which is amazing. I'm only about a third of the way through so far but it's so interesting. Obviously it's also really interesting for me to learn more about autism as I have a high-functioning type of it. It's such a strange and complex thing; I'm not sure I'll ever completely understand it. And it's so under-researched. It's called Bright Splinters of the Mind and I really recommend it. Once I'm finished I'll probably review it and post that up here. I haven't been posting as much as I should and I'll try to put that right. I've been quite busy, and I've got lots of work coming up as I said. But I'm enjoying my time here though; can't wait for it to be summer, Kingston's such a beautiful place. Picnics on the green and lazy days by the river. I just can't wait for all the work to be over and summer to begin; the longest summer of my life!
