Things I meant to do this afternoon (aside from entertaining the kids):

- grade a huge stack of tests
- prepare for an eight-hour class I have to give on Friday which still needs a lot of research
- sign up for acd_holmesfest
- work on the transcript of "Black Peter" for the listenalong at tweed's.
- write a lenghty email to mrs. sweetpeach, who is once again awesome and betaing one of my stories.

Granted, I may have been a bit over-ambitious.
Things I actually did this afternoon:

- gardening.

Yes, I know it's February. But I've missed this so much.

I do hope you do eventually sign up for acd_holmesfest!

How is your transcript coming along? I'm enjoying it, but I'm DREADFULLY slow. I think I've finally got into the swing of things and am speeding up a bit now, though :)

I don't think I had better tell you how long each of them took me...

I think I can imagine! :)

This morning I suddenly discovered the technique for doing it more efficiently: clicking on the rewind button to go back to precisely the point I want to listen from, rather than using the slider and going back and forth all over the place.

I feel like an idiot now for not having thought of this before :) But, hey, suddenly everything's much faster!

Oh, I will! Just need a bit of time to organize my thoughts.

Glad I'm not the only one! It's taking me ridiculoulsy long, but at least it's not too difficult to understand - mostly. The main characters have very clear voices.
