No Spell Check?

Posted by andrewchan on March 14, 2009 at 12:23 AM

I sat for my first exams this week for my MBA in what must be close to a 15 year hiatus since the last time I’ve had to put pen to paper and really write something meaningful.  Sure I write every now and then, jotting down almost illegible scribble during the working day that even my PA struggle to comprehend, but to really write something where another person has to not only be able to read it, but has to give me marks for my work is a totally different and scary story.

 

 

I can still remember I use to have such nice handwriting; in fact my teachers throughout my school years use to praise me on it, but that all went out the door with total lack of use.  Give me a laptop and I can churn out an essay in a tick under an hour, and as I sat in the exam hall and going into my second hour with cramps now running down my arm, I was onto only my third page and missing the life out of spell check.

 

 

Thankfully next semester is accounting, and I still know how to use a calculator!
