Synesthesia of the day: School subjects and colors

When I was small, I had an elaborate system of colored folders for school. Red was always math, green was always biology and blue was always a language, either German or French. Even now, when I am down to 4 different folders, it is always strangely easy to match subjects to color folders. Let’s see what they were the last 2 years:

Orange – Adaptive Filtering, Embedded Microcontrollers; now: –
Red – Intelligent Controls, Nonlinear Systems; now: Linear Systems
Blue – DSP Software, Deterministic Optimization; now: Optimization
Purple – Microelectronics Theory, Adaptive Control; now: Probability

Okay, they don’t really make sense. Plus I only use one folder now, and that one is pink, i.e. not matching any scholarly topic at all.

  1. Hahahahah, that’s wonderful. :D I think I should re-adapt that too.

    I had that too in school (and I guess almost everybody always chose the same colours?). For me, it was:
    Blue – Math
    Red – German
    Yellow – French
    Green – English
    Although at some point, I just put everything except for math together in one big black folder.

  2. Why the heck blue for math and red for German? :D Really… there is nothing as clear as red and math, jawoll! XXXXD

    So my pink folder is your black folder huh XD

  3. Blue – (cold hard) Math
    Red – (passionate lively) German
    Green – Bio (later English)
    Yellow – disgusting religion is disgusting
    White – Music

    Nyahaha, we outfolder you!

  4. Which is amusing, because my default-religious mother chose the colour!

    But… but… it is so innocent and pure! Except Wagner of course. But then again, white supremacy is white…
