...took typing class. Typing was the only useful skill I got out of school. Frankly, it sickens me that I must give the school system any credit at all for anything good in my life, but I can't deny that being a decent typist is useful.
I'm glad I randomly decided to major in education my freshman year instead of coming into college "undecided". I think I made the right choice, and I'm enjoying most of my classes so far, especially the ones in which I get to teach.

Interesting point. Maybe I should take a typing class. My typing speed isn't bad, but I type in a very haphazard home-grown style, and as a result there are some words I almost can't type at all.
I'll add that to Welsh on my list of extra classes to take next year.
I think my final grade for typing was 77, which was decent, if not wickedly awesome. In terms of typing speed, I think I peaked around 35-40 words-per-minute at the time. Since then, I've never timed myself, but I think my speed has improved. Being a regular poster here no doubt helped. However, I still have trouble with the top row of number keys.

I'm glad I don't, because not looking at the keyboard means I can type and do other things at the same time.
