Multi-Word Phrases!So, I am finally getting back into sharing my study tools with the rest of the world. While I am not sharing my stenokeys shorthand with the rest of the world, I am more than willing to share my flash cards! I now have a new bunch of cards to add to the set. It is called Sten Ed Multi Word Phrases and has a bunch of multiple word briefs and phrases.

Between school and a series of medical problems that arose lately, I haven't had much time. I've been struggling to keep up with everything and still have a life. You know, friends, family, all that jazz. I can't be all steno 24/7.
So, I decided to start finding ways to combine studying, being able Nevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04242020432024859720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626445618570626168.post-76599292272666606352011-04-21T12:09:00.000-07:002011-04-21T12:09:22.436-07:00Updated Jury Charge BriefsNew Briefs for the flashcard set StenEd Conflict Free Jury Charge/Q&A Briefs and Phrases.

It now contains 214 official Sten Ed Flashcards. I'm not adding my own personal dictionary entries into them though, but I'll list the new briefs I've found or made up if you'd like to look at them or use them. Suggestions always help!

I'm mainly looking for Congressional briefs and phrases at the moment. Steno Poet, from http://stenopoet.blogspot.com/, told me a website that had a list of Congressional briefs that could be added to your dictionary. This website is http://dascourtreporting.homestead.com/DOWNEYCSR.html and is owned by Downey CSR.

A new set, which will be called StenED Congressional Briefs, is a work in progress. It will take me a long time because all of these briefs, phrases, and words I'm having to look up on my own. I'm also going to have to create a lot of these long phrases on my own because Sten Ed doesn't have briefs for them.

I stayed with my aunt with my mother so we could play with my baby cousin. He is growing up so fast and he is trying to get my name down.

I would have told you earlier today if it hadn't been for blogger deciding to delete the flashcard page instead, and so I had to go back and repair it completely. Sorry its not as good as it used to be; it sure looked cool, but for some reason blogger is refusing to allow me to change the font on the table. We'll have to deal with it for now.

I decided to use the flag feature a little bit more so that I could separate some others, especially in the vastly popular Jury Charge and Q&A section and the High Frequency Briefs and Phrases section.
In the Jury Charge section I flagged the mandatory and recommended briefs from my teacher and Nevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04242020432024859720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626445618570626168.post-57057148034410424992011-03-25T13:54:00.000-07:002011-03-25T13:54:06.720-07:00Update Flashcards: Jury Charge/Q&AI just did an update to my Jury Charge and Q/A lists.

I wish I could say it had been better, but if it wasn't for the storm I would have had a better day. We were supposed to go to Monterrey Bay, but because of the 53 MPH winds and my brother being sick we didn't go. Sigh, so I watched Scariest Places on Earth today which was on Marathon on SyFy. For a while that was fine until I got bored and decided to do some Wii Yoga again.

While Google and Yahoo are fantastic searching tools it can be very difficult to be listed on them.

Second degree burns are serious stuff and I really don't want any scaring or any more blistering than I may have in the future. So today I started going through my DVR and watching some stuff I've really been neglecting to watch. Its 71% full still, even though I watched quite a bit today.

For those of you who were familiar with my old blog, The Court Reporter's Oatmeal, you'll recall how the blog obtained its name. I put the oatmeal a tad bit too long in the morning, and tripped in my morning, groggy state.

I couldn't believe when I did the standing knee pose that I got 100 pts on my balance. I felt pretty successful, since a four days ago I couldn't get anything over 80 pts. It was a great feeling. Even though I took a rest from it yesterday, I think exercising everyday that I'm able to is really going to strengthen my posture and my wrists.

I have the original Wii Fit game, not the Wii Fit Plus, but it does well enough for what I need it for. I tried out a few poses, and I found ones that really focus on my wrists, arms, and posture.
