Whenever a semester comes to an end I have mixed emotions about it. On one hand, I'm glad I stuck it out another semester and I'm proud of myself for getting through it, but on the other hand, it's just more time that I've been in school and I still don't have my certification. I feel like I'll be in school forever.
We had an end-of-the-semester/holiday party. It went really well. Celena got so many things donated so we were able to have a great raffle. There was way too much food which always a good thing at a party and the cake said Happy Holidays in steno. I didn't win anything in the raffle, but it was still a good time.
Christmas is approaching pretty rapidly and I'm never prepared. My mother and sister are coming to LA to see me this year instead of me going to them like normal. I'm pretty excited about it. We're going to go to Disneyland on Christmas day! I hope I at least have a little time to practice this winter break or I'll be sorry when the spring semester starts.

Victory at last!
I know, I know, it's been forever since I updated this thing. Honestly, I don't have very good excuses. Basically, I got really sick of writing that I still didn't pass a test. Well, no more. I passed a 5-minute 140 wpm, jury charge!! It only took me the whole semester. Eighteen errors are allowed for the whole transcript in order to maintain that 97.5% accuracy. Well, I made exactly 18 errors. Not amazing, but I'll take it. Thank the Lord. I have been getting so frustrated with myself, I don't know what would have happened if it didn't happen soon. I still have to pass a 4-voice and a congressional, but at least it's a good start. I have one more week of school, so maybe I'll get one more in there. We'll see.
The new kitten seems to have made herself quite at home. I named her Puppy, 'cause that's what I really wanted. She is very sweet and very rambunctious. She likes to eat wires though, which is bad. So far, she's eaten my cell phone charger, my laptop charger, and the mouse to my laptop. I think I'm understanding how she ended up out on the street. She is getting mighty expensive. I'd better hurry up with the court reporting thing and make some money.
