Last Day
Mood:  a-ok
Today is the last day of my IS101 class.  I got a great deal on an IPOD from one of my fellow students in my class. We are going to observe a PowerPoint Presentation and then I will do my final.  It has been a great class with a diverse group of people.  Great Class Mr. Wu.

It's almost over
Mood:  quizzical

I just experienced the craziest thing trying to update my blog.  For some reason, after I typed up this very blog entry, it saved it with a value of null.....hmm maybe I was a little impatient and started typing too soon.  Anyway...what I was saying was that I am working on uploading my homepage as well as my revised resume on to Angelfire.  I am sure I will do fine as I didn't have too many problems with the original assignment.  Except for the fact that my picture was too big and it didn't show up when I uploaded.  It's OK though because Mr. Wu (the helpful instructor that he is) troubleshot the situation and fixed me right up.

This Semester
Mood:  rushed
I had forgotten how much work is involved with going to school.  It's been a few years and this final exam time is getting the best of me.  I am sure I will do fine, I just have to make sure I have some time to study by Friday.  I also want to make sure that I finish my Access assignments.  Time is running out and I still have a few things to finish.  I'll get through it....I always do.

A6 - Mail Merge

Mail merge is something that I have quite a bit of experience with.  This is an extremely usefull tool.  I fell a little behind the last couple of weeks, which has me very stressed out lately.  I will be playing catch up the next couple of weeks to make sure I am successful in this class.

A5 - Spreadsheet Analysis

I have to say I learned quite a bit on the Excel assignment.  I was impressed with what this application can do.  I forsee using this more frequently in my place of business in the future.

The Presentation

I was soooo nervous to present my PowerPoint last class.  I am so glad it is over.  Something positive came out of it.  One of my classmates was very interested in Desert Sage and what we do.  I may have just met a prospective new member of this philanthropic organization.  That alone makes me glad that I presented on the topic that I selected. 

A4 - Power Point Presentation
I am a little nervous about getting up in front of the class and doing my PowerPoint presentation on Desert Sage Auxiliary.  This is a topic that I am pretty passionate about, but I am afraid of getting up there and forgetting everything that I want to say.  I guess that is the purpose of the presentation, a mechanism or tool to cue you when you loose your train of thought.  We'll see how I do tomorrow....

A3-Resume and Cover Letter Assignment

I was not too happy with my cover letter assignment.  I will attempt to make the time to re-write it, or at least make a mental note to do a much better job at it when the time comes that I require a cover letter for a job posting that I am interested in.  I have been having problems logging into my CSN email account all week.  I'll have to try tomorrow at work.  Hopefully I haven't missed some important information required for tomorrow's class.

Creating this Blog and a Homepage
Mood:  not sure

There are many things that we are covering in my IS101 class that I am familiar with, unfortunately creating a blog and homepage are not in this category.  I enjoy the challenge and the fact that I am learning something totally new for me is very exciting.  Big thanks to Mr. Wu for helping me out with my homepage troubles.

IS101 - A2
Mood:  a-ok

It has been about a month since the school semester started.  So far, I'm doing well. We had a quiz, an assignment and finished the Windows and Computer Concepts exercises.  I'm looking forward to more challenging exercises and assignments.
