May. 15th, 2009 10:34 pmUgh. I really slacked off this term. I was able to finish the final for 140B, but I'm not even going to attempt the final for 141B--which is dictation at 50 wpm in Q&A form, and 'literary' form. I need to practice a LOT more over the summer to even consider taking the speed class at 60 wpm.
Fortunately, the lab is going to be open during the summer at the college, so I may go there while the kids are at camp (assuming that we can afford it at this point--the house needed some painting to protect structural wood, so...) OR, better yet, I've transferred ALL the dictations from the class onto my iPod, so I can take my stenomachine to a library and practice there with NO access to the internet. That was my downfall, really. My huge distraction. That and being in the house and walking off and doing laundry ( can't believe that) and dishes and other stuff and sometimes, even, watching TV. So yeah. My iPod is going to save my ass this summer. I am going to be using it a lot.
I really have to review and all that. And I'll probably have to retake 141b (that's the Theory Review class). Two people did that this semester, and they did amazingly well. They said it really helped them move forward.
