My handwriting, as said, is pretty ugly, but usually easy to read and I
write reasonably fast too. Some half a decade ago, I used to sit next to a
girl called Josefin in school. Not only did she write easily twice as fast
as me, her handwriting, even when making notes, was outright beautiful, and
still managed to be as readable as printed text! Sometimes life's just
unfair.
