I'm Loving It!

I just got home from school a little while ago, and I just wanted to say that I absolutely love this class!  It is Computer Applications and we are learning about Office 2013 - Word, PowerPoint, Access and Excel.  I use Word and Excel about every day at work, but really just knew enough to do what I had to do.  Now I'm learning so many shortcuts and other fun stuff that these programs offer.  As I has said before, though, the problem I have is remembering all the neat things I'm being taught!

It does help that our IT department installed Office 2013 on my computer at work.  We did have Office 2007 and there are a lot of differences between the two.  So at least I'm using some of what I'm learning every day.  I only wish I loved my work as much as I'm loving this class!

This was week 4, so next week is our last full week and then we take the exam the week after for the first two weeks of class.  After that we are on to the next class.  I can't remember what that class is at the moment though!

I know this is probably an odd thing to write about tonight, but I'm just feeling so satisfied with this experience that I had to get it out.  Many of you probably think I'm a little crazy!  I think it just goes back to the fact that after all these years, I am finally in college.  Some days it's hard for me to believe that I'm actually doing this.  I really wish I would have taken this step sooner in life, and yet, I wonder if I would have appreciated it as much in my younger years as I do now.  Guess I'll never really know, but again, I am so happy I'm doing it now.

In some of my earlier posts, you'll notice that I was stressing quite a bit at first.  New things don't come easy for me, and probably don't come easy for a lot of people.  It's easy to get comfortable with the status quo of everyday life and get comfortable.  But take it from me, it does a body good to step out of that comfort zone and try something new.  It doesn't hurt a bit!!

And, I always stop at McDonald's on my way home and treat myself to a Caramel Frappe. I'm lovin' it!
