So lazy. So much work.

So I just realized how difficult it is for me to take pictures of the journal I write in (pretty much) everyday, upload them to this computer, and post it here. The main function of this blog was to make sure I didn't slack on my efforts of becoming ambidextrous and to log everything, so when I look back after I become (or at least get extremely close to becoming) ambidextrous I can go over my thoughts. I realize now I don't really need it and I can manage just fine (although progress is minimal if at all). And my journal has my thoughts (or random words my friends say), so...

I am tempted to close this blog and continue my goals on a personal level. I think I will post my final result (or when I feel like it). Also, maybe I'll make a post of pictures of my old writing, so you can see how it changed in (probably around) half a year.

Writing Even More

WHOOPS. I've been ignoring my duties to convert me into an ambidextrous person. I must admit, I knew this was coming.

So a few weeks ago, I got an old wide-ruled marble notebook to practice writing in. As you can see, I write what ever I'm thinking about at the moment... Or I write the famous, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." (But I prefer "The quick fox jumps over the lazy brown dog" because foxes aren't usually thought of as brown. I'm keeping a time line of this sentence in the beginning of my book. Hopefully I will reach my goal before I run out of space that I saved.

I hate circular forms. And NEVER write while standing up (0r without a table to write on) because it makes your already non-existent progress become negative progress.

Practice, practice, practice

Most of the time, it's difficult for me to find time to practice writing with my left hand. I often think about using my left hand to write my notes in class and at home, but I'm afraid of taking too long with the assignment or not being able to read them later. I do practice at times on scratch paper, the margins of various papers, and my planner. I don't think it's enough.


Usually the reason why I fail things is because of lack of practice, so I don't want all of my efforts to go to waste.


I'm still eating with my left hand (although sometimes I need to use my right like when I'm cutting something with my fork or eating something like ribs) and using my mouse with my left. I feel as though I'm getting better. My clicking is more accurate, so I know I'm getting used to the controls.
