*flailing*

*panicking*

*hand-flapping*

Waiwaiwaiwaiwait. Calm down. Breathe in; breathe out. As Mark K says in the Magnum Steno videos, "You are a Super Reporter." Because I've been practicing, have been since the beginning of this year, and practicing high-speed material at that. Speed Contests have only been my goal ever since I HEARD about them.

I AM prepared. I'm NOT a Yorkie at a police dog competition. I AM ready to run with the big dogs. It will be good.

It will be good.

*pause*
