Lots of things have happened since I updated last. I got a new job, which I like lot better, and that kind of takes the pressure off of getting done with "school" as soon as possible. My boyfriend of six years broke up with me a week ago, but I didn’t take a single second off from homework. I think it actually helped me focus a little bit. I also didn’t care about much of anything for a few days, so I wasn’t stressed out about trying to get everything perfect when I was writing.
I got the 2 minutes together that I was working on last Saturday, at 97.8% accuracy, and 250 wpm at the end. I was also going at 250 wpm when I got the next minute last Wednesday (I just barely got it – 95.01% accuracy). That one only went so quickly because it was at about 210 wpm, though. Now all I have left to finish the piece is the last 2 minutes together!
Unfortunately, because of scheduling with my new job, I had to take 2 days off in a row. I used to take a day off once a week, and I haven’t been doing that for about seven months. Now I get to go back to it, which is great, but this particular set of weeks, the days had to be next to each other, and that didn’t help at all.
I feel like I spend 95% of my practice time writing in a position where I can’t properly reach the keys, and then, that one magical moment when I manage to get in the right position is when I get my minutes. I guess I’ll figure it out eventually. I discovered that slog, spake, and slub weren’t in my dictionary. I also got "boric flay" out of trying to write "work and play," which was interesting.
