In the era of laptops and desktops, the ancient art of handwriting has inevitably gone out of style. It seems like somewhere down the line my dad, on rare occasions, saw my handwriting and decided that I have a need to refine my craft. And so he goes to Taiwan on a business trip and lo and behold he comes back with a bag of carefully wrapped treasures for me. “PRESENTS!” I exclaimed. Wide eyed and full of excitement I eagerly opened the bag to find three booklets, the first in big bold letters titled: “I KNOW ABC!! The Hello Kitty English game series volume 11”. Shocked and amazed I proceeded to find the 2nd and 3rd books titled: “ENGLISH 2! English alphabet practice book”. Alas, my father has purchased for me, a 23 year old law student, 3 volumes of children’s guide on how to write the alphabet. He looked at me and said, “I think you should take 30 minutes out of each day to practice your handwriting”. *sigh* “Gee, than-thanks dad” was all I could muster, I simply could not find anything else to say…
