school

I rarely talk about my schooling right now. Honestly, I have trouble describing it. People ask, "What kind of classes are you taking this semester?"

Do you know how weird it is to respond every time, every semester, "Typing."

You get this really weird look and you can just see them thinking, "But you were taking that last semester."

Yes, yes I was. And I'll be taking it next semester too until I get my certification. It's actually speedbuilding but if I tell people that they'll just ask why I need to do that. It's kind of funny explaining that it's not a qwerty keyboard I'm typing on. It's key combinations and finger positioning that's the kicker. When it takes me 10 minutes to type:

/TH- /PHOUS /RAPB /UP /TH- /KHRAUBG /-RBGS /TH- /KHRAUBG /STRUBG /W*UPB /TH- /PHOUS /RAPB /TKOUPB

Just to say "The mouse ran up the clock, the clock struck one the mouse ran down..." It's not easy. There are some days I want to toss the machine out the window in frustration but... that'd be a waste.

Okay, so I can type that faster than 10 minutes but still.
