And now the end is here, and so we face the final curtain..
Welcome one and all to my final shorthand blog of our 20-week course, in association with the Frank Sinatra classic, My Way!
More shorthanders potentially pass the shorthand finishing post..
Last week’s shorthand exam saw more willing Newsies take their 80 and 100wpm exams.
Santa didn’t bring me a 110wpm pass.. therefore, he does not exist
I spent the Christmas holiday wondering whether I’d cracked the shorthand nut of 110wpm.. I debated how close I could be following the mini-break off I had in the exam.
Passing 100wpm and taking the 110wpm exam just for fun..
The joyous news of a few more people passing their 80wpm or 100wpm exam arrived at approximately 6.18pm on Monday night.
Ah yes.. the 100wpm exam was a load of sausages..
Apologies for the delay in this week’s/last week’s blog – I was a little preoccupied trying to cram my brain with all the things I never understood about PA the first time round.
So the 100wpm exam is a week away, and our pens are a-twitching..
It’s very much like the X Factor or Strictly Come Dancing – show the audience (the NCTJ) what you’re capable of and get through to the next round.
It’s the final countdown.. do do dooooo..
The next 100wpm exam looms in two weeks on December 3rd, so suddenly we are all becoming very aware of how close we could be to cracking it.
Passing 90wpm – the happiest day of my life.. FACT
I had pushed myself to the limits over the weekend leading up to this, my successful week, which included watching Airline (?) on Saturday lunchtime and transcribing along.
Dream the impossible 90wpm dream..
Soooo I’ve been trying to get past the hurdle of 90wpm for ooo.. two weeks now?
Welcome to my 80wpm plateau..
Aaah yes.. after spending a little while back in the day struggling to get past 60wpm, I’m now stuck in 80wpm town with to 90wpm hurdle seeming impossible to get over.
