I might have made a terrible mistake when I let my dad get between me and my education.  Now he's gone all bipolar on how I should try to write more often, even though I've been dysgraphic since I can remember and it's getting progressively worse.  As soon as I get home, he's going to be busting my ass on this and that, even though I'm doing ( Read more... )
