Apparently when I was three-ish I faked reading a book and gave my grandmother a heart-attack. I wasn't actually reading the words, I'd just memorised which bits of the story went with which pictures, and made it look like I was reading out loud. I don't think I learned to actually read until a couple of years later, though I don't actually remember it. I joined the library when I was seven, and I remember that the first book I got out was 'The Tribe With No Feet', so obviously I'd been reading a while by then.

My handwriting has always been a little weird. It's rounded and only partly joined-up, and apparently it's quite distinctive. To the point that when we had to hand up anonymous review forms one year, the teacher was telling us to write whatever we felt because nobody would know whose writing was whose, "except yours, A. Yours is a bit more unique." Um. Thanks, I think?

People wanted my notes in college too, though. Again, I write quickly, and with the aid of some personal shorthand fairly completely too, so they were usually among the most comprehensive notes and only required a little translation. It meant I had to study less, between the complete notes and the fact that my memory is really good, so most of what I did was the required readings and brushing up for details like dates and names the night before exams.
