I love my disabilities. Well, no, one of the two sucks but the lax ligaments is great for wrangling stuff at Uni. I'm currently on my DSA laptop with my voice recorder next to me, and behind me is the printer. I'm also sitting in one of the larger rooms in halls, which are reserved for people on the disability list. And extra time is always good.

I sort of am making light of it all, but it's worth getting tested/checked. It's a bit of peace of mind, and you know that stuff can be done to help you because of it. And you've got the backup of anti-discrimination laws with jobs and things.

Good luck. I just received a private message from that Site you recommended from some idiot insulting my carpet.

haha well I can only apologise for telling you about the site then :P

Just ignore them, there are some exceptionally childish and rude people out there. I've lost count of the times I've been ignored on there, messages getting read and not replied to etc. 1 even went to the extent of BLOCKING me all because I said hi. I know I'm not great but if I say hi to someone I dont think its too much to ask that they say hi back thats all.

Hopefully I won't need good luck with this girl, but I'll happily take it :giggle:, she seems really nice and the photos I've seen all look pretty good as well so if all goes well I could be a very lucky guy indeed :D

I want to wrap myself in cotton wool and hum tunelessly for the rest of my life. The present is scary. the future is scarier, and quite frankly I'm getting anxious over things for no reason again, something my medication is supposed to prevent. Sucks.

OH and I'm having massive moodswings. It's quite unusual for me.

Spoke to my mum about being tested. She is less than helpful telling me that I'm wasting the unis time being tested and am not dyslexic and just need to work harder and Ill manage and the reason i struggle with work is that I don't work hard enough or it's too hard for me. Also if I am "labelled" as dyslexic then it ruins any chance of me getting a job in the future so it would be a waste of my time continuing uni. So basically I should not be tested, drop out of uni and start living in the real world.

Sometimes I wish my parents were a bit more supportive.

Just to add a little more to this:

I don't know how it works in Scotland, but here's the thing - most Unis have a disability/dyslexia department that is designed for people to come along and be tested. Plenty of people don't get diagnosed with anything, but it's their job to find out for you if you cooperate. So there is no time wasting. At the end of the day, dyslexic people simply learn in a different way to other people and that is not catered to in general education unless you acquire the additional support on offer to you. You can get money, coloured overlays, extra time in exams, additional help from tutors, and they will structure the work for you to accommodate the way your brain processes things; a way that isn't your doing nor your "fault."

It ruins absolutely nothing job-wise, either. Most places cannot discriminate against you for your dyslexia. Most of the students at the Uni I worked at, where my Mom still works, who were dyslexic went into art and design or nursing, and nurses have to take notes and keep up to date with formulas and medication etc. Some places could arguably say that it could cause a hinderence, but this is why you need to take the tests now. If you're dyslexic, you have the next few years to learn in a new way which will help you to work around the issues you may have. This is then what you take to job employers: "I am dyslexic, but I've got my qualifications (much higher with support than had I not taken it) and have learned new techniques to make sure that I can do my work to the standard of everyone else." As long as this bodes true, there is no issue.

If you'd like, I can get you a pen drive of dyslexia information if you wish to receive it. I can PM you a Uni e-mail address to contact (so that you know it's legit) and it will be sent from there with relevent information that may be of use to you. It's a Uni-made package for students so I can't see it not being helpful in some way. But that's up to you.

Either way, definitely don't give up on using the services at your disposal.

Definately agree with the Above.

Never mind what anyone else says, because at the end of the day they're probably just thinking of themselves and not you, although they might not realise this. Getting the help will make things so much easier if you have got something, and if not, it'll put your mind at rest. I was diagnosed with Dyspraxia in 2007, and after performing badly at GCSEs first time round at school, I'm doing them again, and with the additional Help, I'm on track to success. I still mess up at some things (capitalisation is a problem) but I'm able to do so much more now I have the help.

Discovering photos of me and the ex on an old hard drive.

I hate the person is/was when i dumped her, and I probably always will, however I still miss the person she used to be before she changed :(

She'd never want me to take her back and I wouldnt wanna take her back either, and theres other much nicer girls out there who arent paranoid posessive cheating little bitches and I know the right 1 will come along, hopefully soon. But she was a big part of my life for a very long time.....

Well if they were lousy enough to dump via text they aren't worth bothering with.

I can't stand people who do that! You'll find someone who treasures you Danni!

I fucking hate this fascination people have with needing a partner. I want to just go around my Facebook friends and punch each one in the face for subjecting me to the statuses about being single or being with "my baby" or "my boy" all the fucking time. Nothing does my head in more.

And it's not even that you can blame jealousy - when I'm in relationships, I'm NEVER like that. In fact, I used to annoy an ex because I would never really mention it publicly. Maybe that's why she's an ex...

Good to see Larkin being quoted. Not being paid what I should be sucks and also my house mate moving out and needing to find a new house mate. Anyone in the Derby / Nottingham area want to live with a Scott Mills fan?

Yeah that annoys me too. When my Facebook feed is full of "Xx loves her honeybumpkin sweetiepie xxxx" and wall posts like "I know you're in bed with me but I want to tell you I luv you lots xxxxxx" etc. (this is particularly about people I knew from school, not anyone here).

Generally I don't like it when people use Facebook wall posts to discuss things they should be discussing in private. There's just no need.

Danni I'm sorry to hear about this guy, it's cowardly when people can't admit that they're not feeling the same way and pretend and have to resort to texting. I hope you get through this ok, remember what great friends you have to support you.

What sucks for me is that I can't get to sleep before 6am and can't get up before 12pm and I have such vivid dreams that I wake up feeling exhausted.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      By Lee E · Posted

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      By NathanS · Posted

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
