Ahhhh!! Doing my Unit 8 Excel Project for Software Applications was really difficult. The upside being that I checked my grades and even if I fail miserably in my finals for both classes I will be ensured a B, but who the hell wants to settle for a B when they can shoot for an A? Exactly! I have 2 weeks of classes left and I start work on Monday. I swear this is all happening quicker than I ever imagined! Next semester (term?) I am taking Algebra and Ethics. I quake in my boots at the thought of Algebra, (can you say C- in high school?) I am going to have to beg and borrow help from those of my peeps of the huge brain persuasion (and let’s be honest, thats pretty much all of them in some way or other!) I stayed up until 6 am with the Excel project and I think my brain hates me at this point. Figuring out formulas and how to set them up made me almost want to hide under my covers.
My final project in Software Applications is to create a 3 part business plan. Part one: Create a Brochure for my business on Microsoft Word 2008 (I chose The Crazy Sock Store business I call: Miss Matched) Part 2: Create a business start up budget using Excel. Part 3: Create a Power Point presentation for the bank to approve my loan. Is that all?, and I thought it was going to be hard…(faint)
In American Women I have to create an 8-10 page report on my Thesis (chosen by myself) complete with 3 Primary sources and 3 Secondary sources as well as quotes and other supporting evidence on something related to women in history and their contributions to current society. (Did I mention I am going through orientation at Centrytel while this magic is happening? (faints again)
To counteract the the immense brain burnout I have taken up my sewing, it relaxes the part of my brain that needs to think and drift, while having the added bonus of keeping my fidgety hands occupied. I am waiting for my box from Florida filled with my stash of cross-stitching hoopla and holler. I will be very happy when it arrives, since I am in pattern withdrawal, as any good stitcher will tell you they generally have more patterns than they can ever do in their entire lifetimes, but will always be on the look out for more, cause thats just how we roll! (grin)
Soon I will post some common cross-stitching terminology for your entertainment and education, and so you can understand what I am talking about when I refer to my work. I will also take a photo of my current work so you can watch it evolve! (It’s alive! Alive!)
Thats me today..since I have only coffee helping me stay awake at this point I think I just may need to go lie down.
