What I did Today

Had a long day yesterday and I was really not feeling up to coming in today but I only have a few more days left in my internship so I need to finish strong. I had my check-in with Carrie and she showed how to keep track of my typing. One of my personal goals for the internship is to increase my typing speed and get it up to 40 words per minute. Starting tomorrow, I will do 15 minute of typing practice before posting job listing. It has been a couple months since training so my speed is slow and I have to relearn where the keys are. My high score for today was 42 with a 93% accurancy. Every day I have to put my score on the google sheet and keeping improving my speed. It it reminds me so much of training and how the class started with typing practice. Makes me miss training. Getting a good score helped make my day a little bit better and I am proud of myself. Tomorrow is always another day. Happy Wednesday!!!!
