School

On Wednesday we got our compare/contrast essays back where we had to write an essay about the differences and similarties of two essays in our textbooks, and I got a B on mine! I was really happy when I saw that. It is the highest grade I ever got on an essay in the semester. So far we haven't gotten our in class essays back yet. I just remembered a couple of things I forgot to include in my descriptions of the graphs and I just realized that I was supposed to call the series(columns in the graph) the data series, but hopefully that will not affect my grade too much. Today we got our next essay assignment. We have to write a cause and effect essay about a current news event, and there is a list of examples on the assignmnet sheet that we can choose from. Ironically and conveniently, labor strike is at the top of the list. So maybe I could write about the septa strike.

In computer class there is going to be an Excel test on Wednesday. I'm going to need to study a lot for that. I think some of the formulas are a little complicated so I'm going to have to spend a lot of time studying them. Excel is even harder than Word. I can perform most tasks on Excel, and I do know how to do the basic formulas, like sums, multiplication, division, subtraction, average, minimum and maximum. Right now we are pretty much finished with Excel, so after this we will move on to Access, which I don't have at home so I guess I will have to do all my access homework at school either after class or between class.
