The curse of being left-handed continues…

So after sitting through my first several sessions of college class, I’ve come to one major conclusion:
Being left-handed in college sucks.
Even more than it did in high school. Here, the actual you have to work with — both in classrooms and in lecture halls — is much smaller, and is entirely on the right side of the desk. So, if you’re left-handed, you have to position your arm awkwardly across the desk to write, which isn’t fun at all. Your right arm, meanwhile, is cornered uselessly between your left arm and your body, so it doesn’t have much to do at all.
Supposedly there are left-handed desks and seats here, but I have yet to see any, nor am I too keen to hunt up and down a lecture hall to find any.
I’ve tried learning to write with my right hand in years past, but never really stuck with it. Perhaps college will be the motivation I need to finally get that down…
