Mrs. garza told me I should really try to improve my handwriting for the AP tests ;-;

Perhaps I should make a key that says 'this squiggly thing is a T, those indescriminate humps are ns, and man, I don't know what that is, but it's pretty unique, wouldn't you say?'

I have been discriminated against my entire life for my handwriting;_; I have worked hard for years to get it to the point of beauty that it is now; why just in the last week I've discovered I've taken to writing bs a new way that saves time. And in 7th grade I worked hard to get my letters with descenders (y and g particularly) to be beautiful and open at the bottom (like in writing Mexico City)

My letters *are* distinguishable from one another, it's just people don't know what to expect to distinguish between:(

Maybe I should just start writing in print.

I ought to scan some of my notes for you to show her. She'll never say anything about your handwriting again.

And print takes twice as long to write. :(

ok, you've seen my writing, correct? it's awful, right? well i took AP exams and did just fine :P got a 5 on the AP amer. History one and on the Amer. Govt one. handwriting has nothing to do with how well you do. they grade you on what you say, not how you write :P

She thinks they might have to take so long to decipher it that it would distract them from my excellent prose:(

I think that's utterly off the mark. As I said, look at my horrid writing! I didn't write any more neatly then than I do now. I don't think you have anything to worry about. They're not going to miss your point or downgrade you because of your handwriting. It's not an AP exam of penmanship, and they know that. Even if your teacher is a good one, I think she's wrong on this call.

My handwriting is awful too. Even since I was young it's been 'You need to neaten up your handwriting, Shauna!' I try, but my handwriting is still pretty bad. :D

The only good thing about having untidy handwriting, is that nobody can copy your work. And if they do they'll never understand it anyway. :D

your handwriting is cool and I can decipher it. it's pretty much on par with mine. assuming that was your normal handwriting on the letter and postcard, and not something superneat. (btw if it was superneat then i commend you because your handwriting has to be really excellent, in the unintelligible way.) mine is bad too. I'll show you on your card!

I forgot that I ever wrote you. It might have been superneat, I don't know.

I gave up trying to make my handwriting look pretty ages ago. The computer has saved me from that.
