I've just started school. :) I can definitely empathize with having things get in the way with school....I was hospitalized for a week not that long ago. It was very unexpected, but because of that I really had to try extra hard to stay up to date with all of my other classmates. Maybe one of the drawbacks to going to an actual classroom and not doing it on my own.

Hello there... I forgot I even left you this message its been so long lol... Yeah, I'm trying hard to get my intern hours done so I can sit in on Qualifiers. I only have a few hours left, I'm excited... CONGRATS on your 160 pass. I know that feels great. Is that your first one?

hey... it was nice talking to you the other day. im a pretty quiet person, but i know i need to stop being so shy. anyways, i think you should sit in on 180's once in a while.... it will give you a little push right before the 160 class. by the way, your kids are sooo cute. ttyl.

I'm sorry to hear about your carpal tunnel and surgery. Hopefully you will feel better! I'm just beginning school in about three weeks. I'm excited and can't wait to get started.

Hi Krista! How long have you been in school?

Happy Birthday, Krista!

Ahhh that's lame. I had a little scratch on the back of my hand and the nurses were all freaking out thinking it might get canceled, but my doc was cool about it. Hope your surgery goes well!

Happy birthday!

i can't wait for you either! it'll be here before you know it! and don't worry, i'm here for any questions you have! good luck on your last 140. keep me updated! i'll be at school on thurs for captioning

thank you!!! well, it's done. nothing i can do about it now!! 6 weeks of waiting...aahhhhh!!! not fun. but i feel pretty good about it so we'll see! :)

well you actually only need to pass one qualifier in order to take the csr, so i'm already going! i have no idea why you only need to pass one of those, and four of everything else. congrats on your jc!!! that's very exciting. have you done a readback yet?

hi! sorry you must think i'm the biggest brat. i didn't even know you wrote me! the qualifiers are going really well! how is 140s going?

Wow. Small world, isn't it? I'd love to talk to you any time - on the phone, if you'd like (925.323.7691 cell). Keep in there. I worked full-time through court reporting school, night-time courses. One time at 180 I kept doing a tape over and over again and felt so frustrated that for a moment had a vision of throwing my machine out the second-story window and jumping out after it!!! Intense. Remember it like it was yesterday. I've got some tips to help you through it, so give me a call sometime. Have a GREAT weekend!!!

Hi Krista!
Portuguese as you can get! I was born on Madeira Island and my family and I immigrated to the US on a ship when I was seven. Your grandparents probably knew my dad, Higino Costa, who was a famous radio personality in Northern & Central California.

Say, are you and your family going to Dia de Portugal tomorrow in Kelley Park? I'll be there in the afternoon and evening - would love to meet you!!!

YAY FOR YOU! Keep goin! Keep goin!
:-)
