Day Twenty-Six

(really day 25--free day)

Today I was planning on getting up early so I could try to do my makeup and everything with my left hand... but unfortunately, I'm a sleep deprived college student who slept till the very last moment that I could.

I decided instead to spend awhile practicing my handwriting. I spent a good 30 minutes writing the sentence, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" multiple times on a sheet of paper. I wrote in a previous post about this, but I chose this sentence because it has every letter of the alphabet in it. A lot of websites that I've read suggest writing this sentence a lot to get used to writing each letter.

So that's what I decided to do.

I will say that since the beginning of the month and till now, my writing has improved a lot. I think writing my Bible notes in class has helped a lot.

But I did notice that my writing improved as I practiced writing the sentence over and over again. Not only was it less sloppy, my writing got smaller and more controlled. It was actually interesting to see. I remember doing handwriting when I was little and absolutely HATING it, but now watching how practicing it helped me in a matter of 30 minutes... it was actually really cool. And since I'm studying elementary education, that interested me as well. Practice does make perfect, even if it is super boring. But things like writing are so important for the rest of life.

Anyways, that was just my experiment for today. I did eat lunch and dinner, and I'm still getting better using my left hand for that. Nothing super embarrassing happened, so that's exciting.
