I am getting faster at left-handed writing, and it's become more natural (hence yesterday's was the longest update yet, at a full page). I think today I'll actually put it some practice at the left-handed writing, which will almost certainly result in considerable improvement.

I'm also wondering about eating, using cutlery that is. I've seen left-handers holding the fork in their left hand, knife in their right and vice versa. Which way have you been doing it? Or have you been relying on chopsticks?  |
Come to think of it, I can think of only one knife-and-fork meal during the past four days, and I forgot to be left-handed at that meal! I have used a spoon left-handed, which was awkward but survivable (I didn't embarrass myself, at any rate).
As mentioned in my last update, I think from here on out I'm going to just focus on the writing, since the other aspects are easy enough that I'm sure I could adapt to them if I needed to (e.g. if my right hand was injured).

I would probably find it much more frustrating if I had to handwrite more during the day and/or if this left-handed trial wasn't a voluntary thing.
