Yeah I'm normally a procrastinator, but shorthand is one of those things I really try at because I find it difficult and it doent really come easy to me :/
No, I do not know shorthand. Although it would probably be a very useful skill to learn. I have homework non-stop. Homework doesn't stress me out so much as big assignments like a thesis paper or essays, but I often lose sleep doing it since I procrastinate a lot.
