| 10/17/11 | 14.0-18.0 | 227 WPM | 3.25 | 45 WPM | 20 | I feel fine, but I am having great difficulty pulling myself from the television. Last night I stayed up late watching television and today I was quite tired. |

I have it easier and easier to focus on my studies not that my addiction to digital media has subsided. |

(*)Passages from the short stories of Edgar Allen Poe will be read each day to check reading abilities and no passage will ever be reread for the test.
(-)The typing test will be administered at "The Typing Test" website where a new test will be taken each day and when all tests have been taken I will start from the beginning of the list.
(~)The same foods and liquids will be eaten and drunk daily to ensure that I am properly "fueled" and that dehydration or delirium brought on by eating less or drinking less does not affect the results. However, due to overriding circumstances because of my present domestic location I will not be able to control what I eat for dinner each night. However, my dinner always includes either chicken or steak, potatoes, and either corn, peas, or some other vegetable. My daily food and drink schedule is included below.
(@)The objective tests can be found on the Objective Tests page on the menu bar at the top of this page.
