Sunday Update

I finished my first week in my new college experience and it was really a lot of fun and I finished way ahead of the time allowed. I was even able to download week 2's information Friday so I have been studying this weekend and should have it accomplished by monday or tuesday at the latest.

The first week was on the computer and it's hardware. The text covered the components that make up the computer such as the motherboard, central possessing unit, expansion slots, memory and all the peripherals that attach and become a part of the computer.

Week 2 is going to be involving software and how to's for launching applications, making and using folders to organize data in a fashion that you will always know where anything is. There is much more detail involved but you can get the idea anyway. I can already see how this is going to help me even with the work I do at my office so it will be beneficial there first.

Hope everyone has had a great weekend and don't forget to visit the blog about the give away scheduled for Labor Day. Just drop by if you haven't and say you want to be included and I will add your name to the list.

  5. Lots of folks talk about wanting to make change in their life, but never do it. You, my friend, are one of the few who actually do it, and because of that can-do attitude, I know you will have great success!
