I went through my last degree taking all my notes in longhand in lined notebooks.
My cursive is now a mix of script and printing and calligraphic swashes. It isn't as legible or as pretty as yours. But it's my own, and I can see the roots of the cursive handwriting I learnt back when I was a kid.
I think when we were taught cursive back in elementary school, it was to establish a basic backbone to work from. Over the years, each of us puts a specific personal style to our handwriting. My handwriting also has a few print-ish letters in it from time to time, even in the example in the post here if you look for them.
