Making do.
Apr. 24th, 2017 01:33 pmThe bad thing about typing in this thing on my iPod is that the text scrolls off the screen and I end up making ridiculous grammatical errors...so please bear with me. I actually have normal intelligence!
Speaking of intelligence, I've decided to devote some time to improving my terrible handwriting. I did all right with penmanship when I was a kid, but somewhere on the journey to adulthood I morphed into someone with barely legible handwriting. I always thought it was because my brain worked too fast for my pen. Honestly, I think that now my hand and wrist muscles are not trained for cursive writing. Did they really stop teaching that in school? I thought it was a rite of passage in third grade to be given an erasable pen and ordered to quit printing until high school?
So here I am, writing cursive letters in the air with my index finger when no one is watching and hoping that someday I will be able to read my own handwriting. It is pretty hard to go back to composition books filled with old writing and find myself unable to judge the quality because I can't read it. For shame!
