I hated writing by hand, too.

I had to write more starting in junior high (middle school). This was back in the late 70s. We had an old, non-electric typewriter at home, so, I took typing in seventh grade. For final edit, I'd cut the sheets up and use white out, and then take the taped up mess to a store with a copy machine. That's how I got through high school English classes, too.

Later, when I got into graphic design as a profession, I learned this was common practice, and called "paste up".
