EXCEL INTO THE FUTURE!

What a great week! My stress has definitely digressed from a 10 to a 2 in the words of my professors little granddaughter. This weekend was stressful with midterms and such but I believe my group and I did an excellent over magnificent job on our ethics assignment. The PowerPoint was splendiferous! ……. in my opinion that is, and I’m excited to see what Dr. Strong’s reaction will be and especially our grade, but that goes without saying. Aside from that this week we worked on Excel spreadsheets, ahhhhh my favorite. Ok, well not really but it was pretty basic and I had background knowledge of just about everything we covered, mainly because both of my parents are teachers. I know next week we’re getting back to photoshop dealings and it’ll be interesting. Until then……..

Nice......FUN!!

This week was nice and fun…. Nice because we’re getting to the end of our ethics assignment as a group, which is due next week. I really liked my group and we have everything in order and I think the final product will turn out well. I’m anxious in a nervous excited way to see what grade we get as a group. Aside from that today was digital images day…FUN, FUN, FUN!! Once again I worked with the same group that I’m doing my ethics project since we have good chemistry together and it was really awesome. We all had great ideas although I feel like we kind of held back because things could have been a lot more interesting if we were more comfortable. One of our group members in particular was quite the photographer and she was able to take some nice photos of us and other things. My favorite part, was after having my digital camera for a year and counting, I just figured out today by some miracle how to manipulate the color swap function. This was so cool because then I had the idea to take a picture of myself in a tree while using the color swap function to make the tree RED! It turned out beautifully…..this was such a lovely day and I enjoyed every bit of it. Funny how things can change dramatically from one day to the next or in this event from one week to the next…

COMING ALONG.......

After being so stressed for a while now, things appear to be coming along now but only time will tell how long that will last. We’ve finally submitted our research proposals which wasn’t even an entire proposal and that was stressful enough but I’m glad now that I have some background information on how to go about starting one as it’s a given in the near future I will have to do a few. Aside from that we’ve just started a new project on ethics that involves group work and effort and I think it will turn out very nice because my group is very agreeable and we are very organized thus far. Next week we’ll be finishing up our PowerPoint as a group on computer usage in education all the way from kindergarten right on up to grad school. It will be interesting to see the final product as we review the pros and cons and layout the actual facts with guidelines and policies on the actual matter…….check up next week to see what life brings…

DRAINED!

Wow, well first of all I just remembered my blog two days late as is obvious by now which I'm stressed and upset about as I fear losing points. This week has been too much, I'm finally at that stage, I don't know how I've been making it but by the grace of God. I've recently been hired since I've been out of work for a few months. It's been so hectic because since day one they've been working me for hours and hard from the beginning while I've been trying to stay together with those demands and balancing my school work with a serious lack of sleep as I feel so sleep deprived right now. Then on top of that my sister was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday and I've been driving back and forth to San Jose every chance I get to be with her and with the mix of all of this and i just knew I would forget something and I guess this turned out to be the something I did forget. This week in class was not so difficult but with all the things going around me its been too much and I think the stress has finally gotten to me as I can feel myself getting sick with a scratchy throat which is how it usually starts out for me. Next week is pretty hectic but I hope I will get the swing of the things between balancing my new job and school and my sisters recovery. There is so much I can say but I'm so overwhelmed by it all I just can't even begin to get into. I hope all of my other classmates are faring better than I am. And as the saga goes on, lets see what will become of the upcoming week......
