LAST WEEK!! ALL DONE!!

YEAH!! OK I am done doing the happy dance now! So on to answer the questions:

• Do you feel you now understand what we covered in this class? If so, what parts/tasks did you enjoy most? If not, what tasks were most difficult? I have really enjoyed this class as a whole, it has not been very difficult, because I have worked on computers for years now, even though most everything was self taught. I found Access REALLY difficult! I don't enjoy difficult things...:) So I did NOT like Access.

• Pretend for a moment that you have the opportunity to speak to the new BA131/CS120 class of students. What would you tell them to help them succeed in this class? I would tell a new student, read ALL the tabs before you start an assignment.

• And on a fun note...any cool plans for the holidays? Any cool ideas for presents?

We stay home for the holiday's, all of our family lives nearby. We are thinking of building a princess castle in the toy room for our girls. That would be our fun stuff for the holiday's!

Week 11

This week was really easy, I went over the study guide and knocked out the three projects. Those were pretty easy too, however I am wondering if I am doing a couple things right. It wants it in a percent format, I think, in the Excel worksheet, but then that changes my numbers and formulas. So I am just not sure.

We are suppose to comment on two other blogs, I have the hardest time finding someone who has completed their blog. Most of them seem to have dropped off quite a few weeks ago. I find myself commenting on the same people, because I know they will have theirs done! Thanks to those of you who post! :)

Let's see personal life, Oh I know our church is putting on a Creche' exhibit, it is so pretty! They set up hundreds of Nativities of all different kinds, and they have a live Nativity. So I have been helping with that this week.

Here is a link, if any of you live close enough, but I think I am the only one clear out in this neck of the woods! :)

Week 10.....

HOLY COW!! I officially hate access...that was the most grueling 3 hours of school yet! OK but I am done with it now. I can get on with enjoying Thanksgiving.

As a whole I have enjoyed this class, I am signed up for my classes for next term, I am still really excited to be in school, but I know by summer I will be ready for a break.

I have been 'Black Friday' shopping online. So I will include a link to a fun site I found:

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

WEEK 9

I am so looking forward to thanksgiving! I am having some of my family over, when we all gather there are about 30 or so, just with my siblings and their families and my parents. This year a couple of the siblings are going elsewhere, so it will only be about 15 people or so. Nice small family gathering!

My 10 year old and I (my daughter especially, she can hardly contain herself!) are so excited to go see the New Moon movie that is coming out Friday. I can post this on this blog because my Mom does not read it. We are going to surprise her and all go to it for her birthday. She thinks right now all her kids are too busy to go with her to it, and when you have 7 kids, that is kinda a sad story!

OK so onto schoolwork, this week was really easy, and fun! I worked all evening until about midnight on my game for Microsoft, I just got started and the time flew away from me. I really enjoyed making it, I could see making other presentations in Power Point. The only thing I have left for this class is the interviews, the hardest part is finding a day that I can dump my kids on someone, so I can go interview someone undisturbed! But all in all another successful week in the world of college as an adult (not a young adult!) I also got registered for my classes for the winter term, I really would like to take four but at this time I am signed up for three.

Week 8!!

Nearly done with this term! The PowerPoint quizzes kicked my TAIL! I am not sure how I did on the assignment, I guess I will wait and see. I am not sure why I did so awful on the quizzes, maybe I read the information too late at night. It was one A.M. by the time I finished all four skills reviews. Otherwise, this class has been pretty easy, just a few new things, I didn't know before. I am looking forward to next term, I am curious if all of my classes will be this easy, or if they will get harder as I progress? I expect they will.

So we had an ER visit this week, thankfully it turned out to be MINOR! My four year old was playing with a metal necklace, when she started crying, I was trying to figure out what happened when I saw blood coming out of her ear! I was terrified. I don't deal with my kids getting hurt well at ALL. The necklace is the kind that is a hard metal and goes around your neck without any clasp, so it snaps when you pull on it, I snapped it on my hand and it hurt, so somehow she snapped it in her ear, but thankfully she didn't damage her eardrum!

Week 7

It's week seven! I am I so excited its Wednesday night and I am DONE with school work! Wait I think its Tuesday night, oh well by tomorrow night I will be done! I have to take a test for another class tomorrow, then I will officially be done with my school stuff for the week!! My daughter will be so jealous. She laughs at me when I am still doing school work and she is done for the week! I think I can totally handle more classes next term, provided I can get into any, since today was early registration and I wasn't able to get a hold of anyone to get me signed up for classes. When the advisor who helped me registar for classes this fall told me to start with one or two classes to see if online learning was for me, I was very scared thinking this was going to be REALLY hard. However I have found this to be very easy, now I want to try a Math class, since everyone says those are really hard to do online! May as well see what I am up against for the next however many years it takes me to get a degree!!

This week was fairly simple. I will say Access has been difficult! I have actually had to work through all the samples instead of just skimming them. I am ready to move onto Power point, I think that will be fun!

WEEK 6

DOWN.....Six to go?? This week was AWESOME! So easy. Access did take me a while since I have never worked in it. It was fun to learn something totally NEW! I also spent hours on my web pages, I might go play with those some more! It was fun learning the codes, my Mom said in no time I will be a computer nerd like HER! It is Wednesday night and I am done! With both of my classes. I am seriously considering taking more classes next term. But I don't think all my classes will be as easy as these two have been, so I am kinda scared to take on more, but I want to finish sometime before I am 40!!

Onto my personal life.....anything interesting? Not really, except the STUPID wind in Mountain Home ruined my patio table. We just got this table last summer! The lovely fall wind came up and dumped it over, this was not a small, light table. This was a rectangle table with a glass top! Now its a rectangle table with NO top! Lucky for me I am married to a contractor and he is going to put a Formica top on it, then it will be INDESTRUCTIBLE!! This is the second big thing of mine the wind destroyed, last spring it took the kids trampoline, they had only had it for a few months!

I HATE THE MOUNTAIN HOME WIND!!!
But I do like living in Mountain Home (actually the middle of nowhere outside Mountain Home)
