2 step forward & 1 step back

    Okay, so I've been in a lingo of work, school, and life. With my class work and test scores in general, I've caught up and then fallen behind again. I understand it's essentially the last stretch and shouldn't have an excuse to fall behind. Maybe it's just the way I like to complete my assignments, and I overthink them, causing me to put in more work than needed.

    For this week's post, I chose 5.8.6 "Chart Tips." Again, again like I mentioned, I don't really use Microsoft applications. This was all new to me; the whole software was a bit confusing to me at the beginning, but I started to get used to it. I really liked that you could adjust and practically design the whole chart. For me, at least the metallicity at times with color coding really helps, and it looks more appealing and easy to read too.

Meet Me halfway

    The school semester is a little over halfway done, and I'm glad and relieved that that has happened. The good thing about this class is that 99% of the work can honestly be done outside of class. 100%, actually, because all the material in reality is software online, with material covering essentially everything. Classes have been a bit difficult to handle in the first half, especially with other issues going on in my life. I've been able to negotiate some classes and assignments, so I can basically do them online for the most part without having to go to class, which is amazing. As time goes by, I keep thinking about school—is it even worth it? A lot of people ask themselves that, and if it weren't for the military paying for it, I doubt I'd be in school right now.

    I chose Page Formatting Facts 4.5.4 for this week's post. I've hated Microsoft applications, extremely expensive, and Microsoft Office software. I'm not going to pay $100+ for software that I barely use. The Google application is kind of being instilled in students, at least in the Clark County district. I give them props, to be honest, because I prefer their software over Microsoft's. Microsoft Word has a lot of little tools and fixes to adjust practically everything. This section taught me a lot that I didn't even know existed. This page formatting fact really showed me how I was essentially able to design the whole page front, giving my document a fresh look.
