Large Tablet Hand Acclimation? (solved)

As many of you know, I recent got a 6x11 Intuos tablet. I used it almost all day during my Spring Break, and am now back in school.

I CAN'T FREAKIN WRITE SMALL ANYMORE! When I try to take notes, it's almost impossible to use neat, small script. I end up using large sloppy cursive since that's the only thing my hand will obey. It's been over a week since I started school, and I've been doing a lot of note taking and very little drawing, but the problem still persists.

Do other owners of large tablets have this problem, or is it just me?

:new: UPDATE: Alright, I realized what was wrong: This only happens during the first class of the day, which also happens to be the only class I regularly take notes in. I am also often fatigued in that class, so I'm pretty sure that's why I can't convince my hand to write small: I'm just too tired.

That's weird. I have an Intuos tablet as well, and I don't have that problem. I have never heard of anyone else having that problem, either.

Is it hard to write because you feel pain, or do you feel that you have lost some control over your hand?
:iconsynssia:
I don't have that problem O_o''

I still have small, nice and neat handwriting xD
:iconemif:
I only write sideways. Don't think that qualifies though. XD

I found out the reason: I was too tired in that class .__.;
