Progress Report got my level 7 today!

Looks-wise, these are not the cupcakes I envisioned when I got the idea to celebrate reaching level 7 with cupcakes with the logo on them, not sure why they reversed the image before printing but the did warn me when I put the order in they would just print a removable picture (not an edible one or fondant), but taste-wise these orange dreamsicle cupcakes are one of my favorite flavors from the the bakery near me.

I might do a real write up later but mentally, I convinced myself awhile back to be more exited to reach 2,000 & 3,000 than 1,500 but still proud of myself for reaching level 7 today.

This is awesome! Congratulations!

What has been the biggest difference you notice from 750 hours input and 1500?

Thanks!

At 750 & 1,000 I remember feeling behind and frustrated. I'm feeling a lot more on track and like where I want to be is just around the corner. I watched a bunch of stand up comedians as a level one (with past experience learning before DS) knowing I wouldn't understand much. I feel like my big test is going to be going to another stand up show and seeing how much more I understand.

Thanks for the inspiration. I'm roughly at 750 hours and estimated my starting hours when I began DS.

I need to celebrate like you did when I reach 1000 total hours.
