So lazy. So much work.
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

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.

Space Bar
I must have confused my right for my left hand again... or something. So I guess that's another activity to add to what my left hand did regularly before I tried to switch everything to my left.
Strange.

Tablets don't have Control
Since drawing with my tablet makes my handwriting so terrible, I think I'll stick with paper and a camera to upload my work on my computer. The problem with my tablet is that I not only have to concentrate on making smooth strokes to write, but I have to look at my computer screen while writing. It's easier if you just focus on one spot like your hand when you write on paper.
I even tried writing with my computer mouse with my left hand (the black writing in the picture below). That turned out better than using my tablet...
Another step up

First Sample of Writing
It's really obvious, but the black is my right hand and the blue is my left hand. Let's see how much I can improve! (Excuses: My handwriting is pretty bad to begin with. Plus, writing with a tablet is even more difficult than writing on paper.)
Overestimated
I also have been doing a few reps with light weights. Hopefully, my left arm will get stronger and more coordinated. The funny thing is that I do a lot of things with my left hand like type, play video games, tie shoes, etc. Yet it's so weak.
I seem to have gotten better at brushing one side of my teeth, but I could just as well be imagining things.

Naïvely Made
I have, off and on, been practicing writing with my left hand. The results were okay, but unsatisfactory. Now I am, hopefully, committed to practice more often and figure out more activities to do with my left hand. For example, opening doors, reaching for items, eating, etc.
I have tried brushing my teeth with my left hand without success. I don't brush very fast and my accuracy is horrible. I have put off brushing teeth with my left hand, for now.
