OH MY FREAKING BABY JESUS. SCHOOL IS OVER. (Okay, so it ended at about 2:30 on Thursday. But shuush~!) I accidentally forgot to clean out my locker, so I ended up hanging out at school for an extra 30 minutes, taking down about a bazillion magnetic poetry magnets. But I found a $15 gift card from my birthday (back in, uh, September. -_-;;) so all was well.
So, last week I took the SAT. And I killed it. Murdered it with my amazingly l337 bubbling-in skillz. (Though as I write this, it is in fact entirely possible that I did terribly. I mean, I doubt it, but it is a possibility. XD;;)
Then I took my ACT this morning and dear GOD it was scary. Though it didn't feel as long. Not so sure how I did on it. I know I did okay, but I want to do really, really well. Just to relieve some college anxieties. Though it was funny, because the SAT was so organized and professional. They had our names on the desks and everything. And the room was warm without being too hot, and it was very neat and clean. My ACT room was at the ghetto high school, they didn't even let us inside until 8 and none of the rooms were labeled. It was scary~! >< Plus, the room was about 10 degrees. *shivers* But I got through it, so whatever. IT'S DONE. Now I don't have to think about school-related things until... um... the end of June.
Well then, a question on cognition. How, dear flist, do you think? Like, when I say "apple," what goes on in your head? Do you see a picture of an apple? The word apple? Associations with apples? When you think back on specific events, do you read them in your mind, like a memoir? Do you see snapshots? Or miniature movies in your head? In short, I would be wonderfully thrilled if you could tell me how you think your brain works.
Like, for myself, ideas don't tend to form in my head. You say "apple" and my mind is blank, blank, blank until I open my mouth and words come out from nowhere. Sometimes I feel like my head is a black hole or, better yet, a black projection screen. I can make images and words and things show up on it, but it is a conscious decision. For me, thoughts aren't thoughts until I have spoken them. I have to verbalize to process things, which is why I talk to myself. I'm thinking out loud, quite literally.
Anyone else? Please? <3
HAPPY SUMMER, Y'ALL~!! <333
