80 Speed Tests Passed!

Not a very imaginative title for this entry, I know.

I just wanted to quickly record some recent progress I've made in my speed building classes.
As of this week, I've passed all of my 80 speed tests!

Literary at 60 words per minute was passed on Thursday April 24.
Jury Charge at 80 words per minute was passed on Monday April 29.
QA at 80 words per minute was passed on Wednesday May 2.

Literary (which was held a good 20 wpm less than the other tests) had only 6 mistakes, but the two others were passed with the maximum of 10 errors (97.5%) -- Yeesh! -- so of course I can't say that I'm easy-peasy comfortable with 80 wpm just yet. However, it's incredible how in just a few weeks, 80 feels more like a real possibility. In a few weeks, I hope to be even more comfortable with it and tackling 100!

I'm pretty gosh-darned proud of all this so far, and it makes my original goal of reaching 120 speed building by the end of summer even more plausible!
 Fortunately for me, I have only to register for the Theory II class for the Summer session, while still attending speed building classes during both day and night.

I should also add that this recent development has inspired me to set the following goal:

Complete at least one 100 wpm test by the end of May (end of Spring semester).

A little ambitious, I know, but we'll see how it goes... Wish me luck!
