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.

We won the mock rally!
The mock rally was this week and I'm proud to announce, We Won!!! I got to be a judge, and obviously I'm a bit biased, but there were about 10 judges so my vote wasn't the only one counted. It was a fair outcome. Here's the real Monica and the mock Monica. I hope you can tell the difference.
The day was really fun, and I even got a little work done. I typed up a 5-minute, 130 jury charge and I passed it. It wasn't a 140, but I least I'm no worse than I was before.
Homecoming is approaching very quickly and I'm a little nervous about my float, but I think it's starting to come together. I'll be sure to post a picture when it's done.
I've been practicing a really good take of a 140 jury charge. I'll continue with the same take this whole week until I get it perfectly and hopefully, it will help with the real 140 jury charge test on Friday.
