So long as i can see the sun, or can remember about where it was last
time i saw it, i appear to be incapable of mixing up those. Or getting
lost. On the other hand, i go into a shopping centre and get lost three
minutes later, and i really hate getting lost.

ObConlang: I was told yesterday that i'd submitted a conlang of mine
(Finnstek) to VCAA (who is in charge of the VCE (which is {what you
get/the course you do to} to finish secondary school in Victoria) as a
subject to do (not that, to my knowledge, one can do this), and that
they approved me to do it as a three-and-four (which is the Year 12
component of the two-year course (year 11 has, obviously, one-and-twos).

Or, less complicatedly (but slightly inaccurately): rumours are going
arond that the people who decide what subjects you can do in Years 11
and 12 have said that I can study Finnstek, one of my conlangs (although
it is kind of slowly dying, i think).

Of course, the rumours are false, but it still makes for an interesting
annecdote.
