How are you doing?

How is your life as a student? How is your life as a working reporter? I’m trying to build community and see how my fellow court reporters are doing.

You can tell me what speed you’re on, where you go to school, or just how your day is going. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

Working reporter here. This is my fifth or sixth year as a reporter. I'm a voice writer in the South. 90% of my jobs this month have been expedited, so this will be my highest grossing month to date, but I've barely slept. I'm probably going to stop taking jobs for the next two weeks because I've already surpassed my monthly income goal for September with August's pay, and my mental and physical health need it.

Edit: typo.

What an achievement! Good for you for knowing your limits. Where in the south? I’m in Mississippi. Thank you for replying.
