Closing Remarks

It has been a real pleasure to be in this class. I learned quite a bit about things that I thought I knew already. To me that's always nice because it fills in the holes that were burned into your memory. I made a lot of mistakes along the way when it came to Bonus quizzes and assignments. Contrary to popular belief is also a good thing. I think it's one of the best ways to learn something. You get to see exactly how NOT to do something :) All in all, this semester was difficult not because of the work from class to class that was for the most part a breeze, but when work, personal stuff and school all gets thrown into the metaphorical blender and pour back out, things become a bit more difficult to manage. I'm grateful that I had some really understanding professors this semester. I'm glad that I believe in myself enough to keep pushing it sure did pay off. This is not a farewell to everyone, as I'm sure I'll see some of you around the campuses eventually, but this is a farewell to use as a class. Congrats to everyone who stuck around until the end! You did great. And with that I would like to leave you guys with one of my favorite philosophers, Alan Watts. Because you never really know what life throws at you is a good thing or a bad thing.

A10 + Mothers day

I am extremely glad I got to give an improved presentation. I really do take pride in preparing my own PowerPoint presentation from start to finish without any help. It was a journey. I am also grateful that it was on a topic that I am passionate about yet again. If I had to do any research, I would have been doomed. I am looking forward to knocking out some of the last few assignments here for IS101. It will be a bit of a grind, but I think I can do it. I feel like I have managed quite the workload this semester already going the little extra mile will not be too bad.
 
Aside from all of that, Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms out there. I did the Tour De France and dropped off racks of ribs to as many friends as I could, rounding it all out with the last rack of ribs for my mother. NOTE: She requested the ribs. Anyway, it has been a whirlwind of a semester, but I am glad I could finish out strong!

Set in Motion

Ariane 5 Rocket - James Webb Space Telescope
December 2021

I never would have guessed it but, motion paths actually really caught my attention. They operate like spline paths in any 3D animating software. This is pretty huge. It allows a presenter to really take control of a slide and get into some very interesting and complex animations. I am planning to make really good use of motion paths for my next PowerPoint presentation. being that my topic will once again be based around rockets, it's only fitting that I give the presentation some life. I hope everyone is prepared for a crash course in Rocketry! I very much want to tease my own rocket in this post but I will save it for class! Instead, here is a quick introduction on how we keep things in orbit, consider the flight path a motion path :)

 

Five Down, Two To Go

So it seems as if I have somehow managed to knock out 5/7 MOS exams. I am only two shy of achieving MOS Expert and that sounds like a title I very much would like to obtain. My plan for Word Expert is to take some time tonight to go over what else needs to be learned in order to knock out that exam. I'm not really expecting it to take very long honestly. However, for Excel Expert, I have already begun looking into what is required, only because I expect it to be slightly more difficult. None the less, I think I can knock both of these out!
