<p>thanks flopsy! :)</p>

<p>so like, when you hear sounds, you see colors?</p>

<p>OMG! I HAVE THAT!!!!!! Except I see numbers in colors. So I'll be like, "that doesn't look right" cuz 25 will be like in black but I'll think it should be in red and white.</p>

<p>math is incredibly low
maybe retake the sat's?
last testing is on jan.</p>

<p>You've got a year... SAT math isn't too tough so pick up a book and pick up that score by next fall.</p>
