Heh, geez. Was it so hard for you to write in block letters for a lesser one? I used to write in block letters for the first year or so of learning Russian. As a 12-year old I saw the handwriting thing, thought "boring" and just skipped a couple pages. Although I still have pretty bad handwriting in Russian(since I almost never have cause to write it on paper either way) I can read and write it like that.
