The variable strokes

Being a student is inevitably a part of life experience. Some of you are still as if barley grains steeping and germinating under comfort zone; and some of you might have strode across the field of academic, started pursuing something more permanent. Now dive deeply into your previous schooldays, think what exactly obsessed you the most in the past. You never had to worry about householder insurance, politics, money matters, home security, debts right. You bite back when school laid down the law, you didn't even bother the snag in your shirt because you knew somebody would fix for you definitely--- it's all past history however. At this point you don't expect to be spoon-fed, and you can't just leave a broken marriage mend by itself almost as if magic.

Being an observant is also another way of learning. And i believe different people practice different style of jotting down notes to keep track of works-in-progress. Personal investigation finds that there's 5 types of students: Stainless, Thesaurus, Monotone, Artist and Wise Learner. Stainless are those who keep their textbooks clean and intact, meaning they don't highlight, underline or write notes inside, and just basically don't pen down anything while studying- Studying means studying, nothing else; Thesaurus usually has meaning of words written on top the vocabularies so diligently whilst Monotone's textbooks appear to be dull with extra notes written only in Black ink; It is understood that taking notes and highlighting is about turning a large chunk of text into a short descriptive summary but in the case of Artist, they prefer highlighting almost the entire lengthy paragraph in a variety of colours, over-utilising the Art of Highlighting; As for the last group, Wise Learner is characterised by making notes written in distinct coloured ink. So which class resembles you the most?

For me, i'm definitely all right having hurried and haphazard writings in my notes, i seldom erase them in fact b'coz a book without pencil scratch seems more likely spiritless. So go ahead and do it, if you're like me can't enjoy studying without pen scratching.

Hmmm some believe 'handwriting reflects a person's character', think that neat handwriting indicates the person is more systematic and on the other hand poor handwriting is a display of irresponsibility.

Frankly speaking i have inconsistent handwriting but i'm sure it has nothing to do with accountability issue and personal efficiency. Yup i can produce super neat handwriting ONLY when i spend more time doing it slowly (no doubt this is time-consuming) but then automatically my hand will start writing fast. You see, there are many times in my life i tried to be consistent whist writing but to no avail. Looking at how i write the f's, i never cross them frequently; For g's, j's and y's, i sometimes loop them with a large+opened/narrow+closed flourish, or sometimes just straight (sorry la hand muscle is too flexible, couldn't systermatize each and every stroke of the letters) All i can say is, my handwriting changes with my mood, i like change, can't stand with monotony. Moreover writing is also an art, and you don't expect me to use an invisible architect's scale to standardise the height and width of every letters don't you?

Likewise not-excellent-handwriting might just be a person who thinks faster than he/she writes :P I never said i am perfect, I don't have wonderfully tidy handwriting, and still i'm proud to say so *laugh out loud*
