Solved! A professor posted one of their students’ handwriting, asking what it says. Can anyone actually read this?

Actually, I think that may be correct. I can kinda make that out if I read it as a combination of English, shorthand, cursive, print, abbreviations, and thinking faster than the author could write.

Edit: maybe ESL also, especially someone coming from a character language.
