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.

The Float
Busiest week ever!
I spent every spare minute this whole week building the float. I did get a lot of help so thank you, thank you, thank you, everyone who helped out. There were a few do-overs and some tense moments. Plus, I burned my fingers really badly on a glue gun, which does not make court reporting any easier. All that aside, the end result was amazing.
The judging was on Saturday. We were voted Best Design, not best over-all like I had hoped (we were robbed I tell you) but Best Design is pretty darn good. After the judging there was a luncheon, and after the luncheon there was a football game. It was a really long, really exhausting, but fun day.
After all this, I FINALLY got home pretty late to find a stray kitten in the parking lot of my apartment complex. I had seen her a few times before and I didn't want her to turn feral and get mean or starve so, I spent over an hour trying to get her to come to me. She finally did, but then I was scared she would be sick and might get my cat sick so I was up half the night worried about them both. I took her to the vet in the morning and except for a mild case of ear mites and the fact that she's really scrawny, she's healthy. She is super cute and super cuddly. So, now I have ANOTHER cat and still no dog. It seems like my lot in life. I may actually give the kitten to my mother when I go home at Thanksgiving if she doesn't get along with Phoenix. We'll see. She needs a name though.
I know this post had almost nothing to do with court reporting, but I had to get it all out there. I'll let you know how these poor burned fingers do on the tests. Let's hope I heal fast.
