My Test

Finally, after nine LONG months, I passed the last test I needed to move up in speed. For those of you who don't know, I am a Court Reporting student. It is a self-paced school. You move up in speed by passing one literary test, and two question and answer tests. It moves in increments of 20. You begin at 60/80 words per minute, pass to 100's, then 120's and so on up to writing 200 words per minute. I finally made it into 120's!! Go, ME! So, tomorrow, I will officially start in the 120's class. This is a school of highs and lows. You get all excited when you move up a speed, then knocked right back down when you start in that new speed. It's SO FAST, and you're right back to thinking, "What am I doing to myself here???" But, you know, I didn't think I would ever get the 60/80, then that I would never get the 100's, but I did, and I know I'll get the 120's...eventually!
