Ambidexterity Project

Hey guys! It's been a while.

School's been occupying my entire life again. :/ That's why I only had time for one picture in the past month. I guess the next time I'll be able to draw is spring break. D:

Anyways, school is all right. It was super busy this past month but I suspect that my workload and stress will be significantly less after the Academic Decathlon competition this Saturday. Wish me luck!

Aside from all this, two of my best friends and I have created a pact to start training to become ambidextrous. As I am right-handed, I will be training my left hand to do tasks. The three things I have set OFF LIMITS is using chopsticks, playing tennis, and using knives. I will steer clear from those. But so far I've been doing extremely well! My handwriting is legible and VERY clear. I think I'll just be working for speed from this point on because it's very neat already. I've also worked so much with my left hand that eating, using the computer mouse, reaching for doorknobs, and pouring liquids with my left hand now feels natural. I did some research and apparently self-training to become ambidextrous usually takes only three months! It also has significant benefits in the sense that it strengthens the side of the brain that was weakened upon the abandonment of using a particular appendage (in my case, the left hand) at a young age. I was really only in this initially because I wanted to be able to say, "I have self-trained myself to become ambidextrous!" XD

Hopefully I'll get there soon! I'm only concerned because it's rather addicting. Instead of doing homework, I sometimes find myself scribbling left-handed on random scraps of paper.

I hope everyone is doing fine! Talk to you guys later!
