Woot! =D

All right, well Finals are done and I scored 100% on the Excel quiz, where I had to use the spreadsheet and figure out the total values, averages, etc. And I thought that was the part I was going to be worst at! I got like 71/78 points I think on the other quiz, and the documents I created still have to be graded...but I'm so thankful it went well!!!
Looking forward to Spring break! =D

Week 10

Well, this is it, the last week of winter term. I can't believe that it's done already; it just flew by! I learned so much in class, I'm really glad I took it. Hopefully now I'll be able to utilize Word to its fullest extent, and be able to work with Excel really well. Before taking this class, I had no idea what Excel even was--I think I opened the program once, saw the spreadsheet and cells, and instantly closed it. Now I'm feeling a lot more confident with it, and hopefully the Finals exam will go well, which is next Friday!

I'm really nervous about it, and am going to study study study! I should do well on the quiz portion, they're all questions I've already gotten from both the pop quizzes and the review questions from the textbook. The portion with the Word document should also go fairly well I hope; so Excel's the only one I'm really stressing about, and it's mainly just figuring out how to set up the equations for the questions...I'm not very good at that.

In the tech world, there was a survey taken of students, which had them listening to different types of music in different formats. There was an MP3 compressed type, and another one that was of a higher sound quality. Surprisingly, the majority preferred the MP3's sound, because it's something that they're used to. It would be very interesting to take that test and see which one I would choose.

Week 9

Well Week 9 is almost done, then we have one more week and then it's Finals week. It's hard to believe that the term has gone by so quickly. I've learned so much in this class, it's been awesome.
This is something random that I don't think I've ever mentioned before, but on the other wall across from where I sit there are some beautiful horse pictures. One's got a whole herd of whitish horses galloping from the sea, and another one has the silhouette of an Arabian's head and the Arabian itself galloping...I wonder how I could get those into my room...hehe.
We did a lot more in Excel, and I'm not doing so well figuring out just what formulas I need to enter to calculate a problem. I hope Finals go well in that respect...and I've been having a lot of fun with PowerPoint, it is so awesome!

In the news, Facebook has been making some changes to keep up with their competition, Twitter. I don't know much about Twitter, but I've been trying to convince my parents to let me get a Facebook...anyways, some of the changes are that when you update your profile, it automatically updates on your friends' pages, and you can have an unlimited number of friends...yeah, sounds really cool.
