Day Ten


Today I looked for an article in the library database and decided to write about how this applies to me and my project right now. 


I found this article to write about. In this article, people wrote in and gave testimonials about how hard it is to be left handed in a right handed world. I know I'm not really left handed, but I did find some of these to be true.


Karla Balsamo writes about how the desks at school are made for right handed people. Usually a classroom will have one or two desks that are for left handed people now, but that's not always the case. Or someone may have stolen it before I get there. I've notice this in my writing class, because that's one of my classes that has desks. It's hard to write with my left hand on a "righty" desk... and I find myself with my body slung halfway across the desk in order for my left arm/elbow being able rest. 


Doris Weber also writes about "overcoming the smudge marks" while writing. Which I have recently encountered. With my ink pen when I'm writing quickly (or trying to, at least) I have found ink on my hand and a slightly smudged writing trailing behind my hand. This also happens with pencil, with the lead smearing on the paper and onto my hand. So frustrating.
