The Scribble

Is it good that everybody types instead of writes?

64

My strokes are messy,

Each word more testy

But each more text is less me. [1]

In high school,

I saw seas in a nude beach piece

But rude miss teach saw C's,

So I saw C but she shall see

Like a seesaw a word is weight. [2]

But nobody wants to wait,

So now my words are digitized

To a congestible size for

Convenience is the con of Venus,

And I refuse to prostitute my genius. [3]

Cause my miss stress is intentionally hidden

And my ill written passage is mine,

So its not all good riddance

To the passage of time. [4]

Like an ex on my mind,

You will find the annex of my mind

In the context,

And please don't think it's a contest.


[1] - I've always had terrible handwriting but at the same time feel that I lose something when I text or type instead of write.

[2] - this is a made up story to make the point that my teachers couldn't read my handwriting and I did poorly sometimes because of it. The story goes that I was writing about the sea at a nude beach but my teacher thought I was writing about boobs. Obviously, you couldn't confuse those two "sea" and "c" in writing, but if you hear it, it sounds the same. The point I was trying to make was that different forms of expression can be different, if you hear it rather than see it, could extend to typing vs writing.

[3] - here I'm talking about turning to typing instead of writing. It's convenient, my teachers can read and I can edit/change whenever. But convenience can be a curse, like if love becomes convenient.

[4] - This part is saying that my mistakes and bad handwriting are mine, they are a part of me and belong to me. With the new technology, typing, we lose a part of us.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
