When I was almost 15 I spent two weeks in Spain on a language exchange trip, and one thing I noticed was that lots of the kids used exercise books with squared paper rather than lined paper. I took a fancy to it, and now whenever I see a notebook or file block with squared paper, I have to buy it and use it for writing notes in class. Sadly we don't seem to get it here very often. This notebook started life as a book for writing down new Portuguese words I learned in my beginner class, but I only used about a third of it before getting lazy. I feel sorry for it, poor neglected little notebook, so I've started to draw in the back of it, and will work my way forwards until I use it up.
Funny enough, I read magazines backwards too.
I did this little doodle with a pen and coloured it in a bit with my Derwent coloured pencils. I don't draw in pen ever, except when I'm at work and doodling all over my bills and letters. It's quite liberating not being able to rub out the mistakes.

cute drawing
Bons desenhos; gosto muito do seu blog. Boa sorte com as aulas de português.
Great drawing! I write in my journal back to front too! And read magazines the same way! Often non fictional books too. I wonder if that has some psychological reason!
Interesting. I start with the back of magazines and books too, flip through to the beginning. If it looks interesting, I will start at the beginning and read what I may have missed.
