Question

I'm new to learning Russian, and was wondering if its considered strange to write in block letter form. My cursive is horrible, and I find it easier to write in block, but dont want to seem wierd.

I think you don't have to worry about it. In modern life it is very rarely that you need to handwrite anything - it's mostly e-mails and texting. And I am sure that your readers don't care how you write as long as it is legible.

On the other hand, if you need to write a lot for some reason, you would be much better off with cursive for a very simple reason: it is easier to write. It is streamlined and designed for manual writing, while the printed fonts all have very un-ergonomical small details and curlicues that are a hassle to draw and will slow you down.
