...with keeping things updated.
I had my first session last week. I was so excited and was really starting to get nervous as I waited for 4p to roll around. My phone rang on the dot, almost literally as the numbers changed. My heart leapt, I took a deep breath, and then everything was normal.
I had a bit of a phone malfunction with my cell. It just did not want to find reception. Any where. But thankfully Robin, who was the one doing my evaluation, was alright with calling my house line and things went smoothly from there.
Robin was quite fantastic in just making very thing normal. It felt less like a evaluation than a conversation with a friend. Obviously, there we elements of the evaluation, but she just made everything so comfortable. It was a joy to work with her.
I got my results back within the hour, and had all goods and normals (the highest and desired scores) except for one area that I need to work on- natural timing. Basically, I talk to fast. And can't figure out how to slow myself down very well.
And practicing it is. I have to work on adjusting timing and conversational reading. I have quite a few fun exercises that I get to do as well as "homework". The online classes that I take along side this training have a lot of reading, but it's all extremely informative and great information to know and learn.
My next session is in two weeks. I'm excited, but I need to remember to keep up on my homework and practicing. Reading out loud 15-20mins a day is surprisingly difficult to accomplish!
Hopefully I'll update again sooner, and with more on how the homework and online classes are going.
