Today for a brief moment I thought that my handwriting would look more intimidating if I began dotting my lowercase "i"s with little hearts. It may take too much effort to retrain myself to do this, much like it would take too much effort to re-learn how to write in cursive. Supposedly they changed cursive writing so there are no longer all the fun loops and bubbles, and in some versions the Q no longer looks like a misshapen 2. Why bother changing it at this point, says I? We have computers now.
Handwriting was by far the worst class in elementary school, PS, although at least I am not from a country that uses hanzi in writing. I have been told by professors that my handwriting in Chinese is so bad that in Asia, I would have been beaten. This assumes that I wouldn't have been one of Asia's "missing girls", which would have been probable considering I have an older brother. Then again, the way he turned out, I am sure my hypothetical Asian parents would have often wondered what might have been.
