I drove 42 miles one way to pick up a rental manual steno machine yesterday. It's not like the fancy computerized one in the icon to the left, though. But it's clean, well-maintained, and came with a tripod.  Rental is surprisingly cheap (not counting the $200 deposit, which I'll get back as long as my kids and their friends don't destroy the machines while I'm not looking!) but when I continue on past the first semester, I'm going to have to buy a computerized student machine. That alone is $1550, not counting the programs I'll need for it AND the paper and so forth. 

I'll have to baby my right arm. It's given me problems over the past year or so. A lot of that has to do with my bad posture at the computer, and spending way too much time on the computer.

Gonna have to approach learning steno the way I had to learn to writing: TRUST in my brain and myself, and let my brain do its work without second-guessing!

Trust!

I am done classes for the summer. Thank GOD. I have more in the fall. Not sure how I am going to handle that yet, but at least I have a couple of weeks off to hunt around for jobs again and write the stuff I'm supposed to be doing.

Fantastic

It sounds like you're really going to do well at this- how can you not after putting that much effort into it! Best of luck.
