November 18

So today was the first day of learning excel.  I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was.  I was sort of nervous since I find myself to generally be computer challenged, however, it was not all that difficult.  I think my main problem with this Demonstration was that I have a MAC and I was using a PC.  I have excel for MAC and they are surprisingly different in my opinion.  I think that today went very smoothly.  I think it was easy to follow along with what you were saying and doing in class during the demonstration.  The pace we went at was a good one, I did not feel like I missed anything and we went slow enough that at least us in the back row were able to help each other out when we got sidetracked or confused.  I am pretty excited about excel because I feel like this is something that we will be using a lot in business.  I have already had a few jobs where we had to know how to use excel.  I think that access was interesting to learn but might not be as necessary as excel.  :)  I looked at the homework and it seems to be quite manageable so hopefully I will be able to figure it out before the holidays.
