A pass or not a pass...
The night before the shorthand exam on Friday 3rd December I and a few others decided, instead of battling home in the snow, to read passages to each other.
Shorthand at 100wpm - week 11 out of 20 - done!
For 12 Wimbledon students, week 11 will be remembered as somewhat of a milestone in both their time at News Associates, and in their pursuit of a career in journalism.
100wpm exam half way through the course? - alright then
Time has an uncanny knack of speeding up at the wrong moments as does our shorthand teacher Angela when she decided to up the tempo this week from 90 words a minute to the dreaded 100.
Super Shorthand Sunday
Sundays with Marie Cartwright and shorthand passages have become as normal as Sky saying that Sundays are Super.
When one becomes two
Week seven commences at News Associates, and we’re living in the aftermath of a shorthand shake up.
Relentless pace and painful wrists
This week has felt like a continuation of the last. Nothing much has changed.
Pass me the crackers
Four weeks down and I don't know whether I'm closer to cracking the shorthand nut or further away than ever.
Dreaming in shorthand
I can see a dramatic improvement in my shorthand since I began learning it five weeks ago.
My brain hurts
One week of learning shorthand and it’s beginning to take over my life. Turns out they weren’t lying when they warned us this would happen.
