Chopsticks / Hashi

I am getting better and better. My hands don't shake now when I pick up something heavy and I stopped getting handcramps while eating (I literally did get handcramps by the end of week one) :) I'm practically a native! Pretty soon sympathetic people will even stop offering me spoons and forks when they see me struggle. I always politely smile at the utensils that they offer in all sincerity, and push them to the side and use my hashi, which I am determined to dominate. I will not let a couple of little sticks beat me into submission even if it takes me half an hour longer than everyone else to eat my food. One day, I will even be able to cut meat with chopsticks, slurp soup, and flip an egg...... at the same time.
