Happy new year. Cannot WAIT for how many times I'll write the wrong year.
2025 was a productive year for me. I've gone from 60 wpm on my writer to 160 wpm, so I am hopeful that I will get my certification by the end of the year, but we'll see with how academics go. I'm taking TWO court procedure (I think? Might be court reporting procedure) classes, which I'm not looking forward to. I already work in the courtroom, so chances are, I already know them. Hopefully I'll learn something though.
I'm still going to feel so bad for the clerk's office if I do just go straight for a court reporting position. Going through all this training and work just for me to leave so quickly, I don't know. Despite that, I think it's the best option for me to get that job as quickly as I can. The extra money would be good, but they also get their own offices!! Did you know that? I still can't wrap my head around it. Like, they work in their own little room with a name plate on the outside. EACH OF THEM!! Not even the law clerks get their own offices (I think its like three in each one) and I'm pretty sure those guys have law degrees or something.
Anyways, new year resolution. Cornflakes wants to write things down more often. I've never really taken notes or photos or given myself any kind of reminders, which kind of bums me out? I really like office supplies (because I am normal) so I have a calendar (need a new one actually. didn't think about that too much) and a whiteboard and the such, but I hardly use them. I don't even write things down on my phone or anything. But also, my memory is really bad, so it's not like I do it because I don't need it. Just something to think about I think :p.
Anways, I hope you had a good New Years. Make this year better than the last and all that.
