The Scribble

Is it good that everybody types instead of writes?

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
