Hello there steno peeps! I thought I would take a moment out of my busy day of de-cluttering my house and update you on where I'm headed over the next 6 months.
First, February 22nd is the annual CCRA (Colorado Court Reporter's Association) luncheon. Which, I will be attending for two reasons: the food and meeting up with my local mentor. I am really excited to meet my mentor there and, hopefully, get the ball rolling on making dates to sit in with her on depositions. Plus, the food at the Denver Chop House is outstanding.
Right now, I have been focusing on building my speed and accuracy like crazy. I have also been studying for the RPR WKT test. I am scared to death, almost, to sit in and actually write at a depo. I really need to work on nailing my speaker identifications and parentheticals as well as keeping up with the speed and accuracy of the multiple speakers. I plan on working on these skills until my fingers feel as though they may fall off as I will have mock depositions coming up on March 28th at DU's law school.
April will bring with it the opportunity to take the RPR WKT test, which I hope to pass on the first go. Hence, the studying.
July should be an extremely eventful month as I am hoping to make it to the NCRA convention in San Francisco for many good reasons, the best being meeting my mentor, Jade King, as well as any of you lovely people who take a few minutes to read this once in a while. Also, in July, I will be making my first attempt at the RPR Skills test. I would love if this would be my first and only attempt, but realistically, most people don't pass it all in one go.
I would like to be working by the fall. However, if I am able to be interning like crazy, I'll take that too!
Okay, so that is the update here. Thanks for reading. Keep your fingers crossed that opportunities and luck will come my way and I'll do the same for you.
Peace.
