writing over time

Over the years many things have changed... In particular, I am no longer to write in crayon. This bothers me, being that purple crayon as a youth was always a good choice to draw and/or write a note with. Years start to go by and we must put down the crayon and pick up a marker to do the dirty work. But alas times continue to change, pencils and pens rule the academic world. Of course you are not allowed to use the "red pen" for it is the "red pen" that trumps all of the other writing utensils. Only the teacher may use this pen, this devise for demoralizing young pupils.
Yes, there have been many writing utensils in my years and none as important as the computer and its wonderful keyboard. The flow of my finger upon it is much smoother than any purple crayon nor do my fingers or hand cramp up when using it. I figure I will save my hands until after I graduate when I get that degree and finally pick up that illusive "red pen" to correct others.

Ha! Well, you can use a purple crayon or a red pen to take notes and stuff like that in my class if you want. Of course, other things still need to be handed in electronically, so....
