Narrative

I WAS GIVEN A CLRNC TO MAINTAIN 1600 FT; EXPECT 3000 FT IN 10 MINS. I DEPARTED THE ARPT; AND PROBABLY HAD TOO MANY THINGS ON MY MIND. I WAS CLBING THROUGH 2800 FT WHEN THE CTLR ASKED ME MY ALT. I TOLD HIM I WAS AT 2400 FT; CLBING TO 3000 FT. THE CTLR TOLD ME HE HADN'T 'CLBED ME' TO 3000 FT. I LEVELED OFF IMMEDIATELY AT 2500 FT. THE CTLR TOLD ME I HAD TFC AT 10 O'CLOCK POS AT 3000 FT. HE DID NOT STATE A DISTANCE; BUT SAID THAT'S WHY HE DIDN'T CLB ME. HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ELSE FOR 2 MINS EXCEPT THAT 'THAT WAS NOT GOOD.' I STAYED AT 2500 FT; AND AFTER A COUPLE OF MINS; HE CLBED ME TO 3000 FT. I DID NOT SEE ANY TFC THE WHOLE TIME. FOR SOME REASON; I THOUGHT (AT THE TIME) THAT HE DID CLR ME TO 3000 FT; BUT REALIZED LATER THAT HE DIDN'T. I ALWAYS WRITE DOWN ALTS AND WHEN GIVEN A CLRNC; CIRCLE THE FINAL ALT (3000 FT IN THIS CASE) WHEN I HAVE BEEN CLRED TO IT. WHEN THE CTLR INFORMED ME HE HADN'T CLRED ME TO 3000 FT; I LOOKED AT MY NOTEPAD AND NOTICED IT WASN'T CIRCLED. THIS PROC WORKS GOOD WHEN IT IS DONE RIGHT. ALSO NEED TO LEAVE PERSONAL PROBS ON THE GND.
