Finally! I am almost as fast as my speed prior to learning touch typing which is at 55 wpm and reached 50 wpm. I also have not experienced a speed that is lower than 40 wpm in all of the exercises that I did today.

My first ever above 30 at 32 wpm! My final test also improved from 27 wpm to 34 wpm. Done with Speed Building training for today. I tried to do the benchmark 2-minute test and was aiming for 45 wpm. After all, as you try and try the exercise, you'll get accustomed to the paragraphs that were used. It is only a matter of accuracy and speed improvement. Glad I was able to hit the target and even have some extra wpm.

I am already at the second to the last lesson on touch typing and I am glad that I have already reached a speed of 29 words per minute. Prior to reaching this milestone, my average speed using my natural typing form was at 55 words per minute while my most often speed on the touch typing lessons where at 27 wpm or lower. As I was typing and finishing the drills and the lessons, I came to a point where I asked how good would it be like if I reach 30 wpm and then on the next two lessons I was able to hit the 29 wpm. Here is a snapshot of that milestone. Basically, I reached a typing speed of 30 wpm but since I committed errors along the way, it was reduced to 29 wpm. Better finish the last lesson and see if I can further improve my speed. Update: Done with the 14 lessons with an average speed of 28 wpm on the final task.

Following  the lessons learned on SQL, I encountered a website that teaches touch typing and figured if I really want to make the most out of using a computer, I have to use it the most efficient way possible. Although, I already have a decent typing speed, I know I still have a next level in terms of typing speed and so I embark on this journey. I have been into this for four days now finishing two lessons daily. And so, here I am, already at lesson number 8.  I still have to get back to Alex's lesson on stored procedures. I already had a glimpse and listened to the lesson and found that I have to be mentally prepared for that lesson as I find that lesson really useful in executing commands in SQL particularly in automating some of the commands.
