CS 1410 Week 3 Blog

I have learned so much in this class during this week! There were things in Microsoft Excel that I did not know you were able to do!
In each module this week I learned:
1. Mailing List Spreadsheet- I learned what a COUNTIF was and how to add up different states with it.
2. Creating The Letter- I learned that you need to make a letter general and not specific to one person if it will be sent to many people.

CS 1410- Week 2 Blog!

Hey Everyone! Hope ya'll and having a great summer so far and enjoying this class!
I have really enjoyed the first two weeks! I have learned a lot already that I didn't know.
- On each module I have learned:
1. Facebook Privacy- I learned that Facebook has a tricky way of wording their privacy policy to make you feel like you have control, when nothing it really private in the internet.
2. Smart Phones- I didn't realize all that smart phones are capable of doing. I learned that a smart phone can detect your mood by the places you visit (kinda weird I think).
3. Survey Monkey- I learned that there are many different formats to answer a question on survey monkey and it is a very helpful way to collect data.
4. TED talk- I loved the TED talk. I learned so much, but one thing is  that technology in the medical field is changing fast to where a smart phone could take vital signs and detect a disease without the patient having to visit the doctor in the future!
5. Excel Home Budget- I looked at what my budget would be when I begin my nursing career. I learned that there is a lot more money that will be spent than I realized and I will definitely have to balance my money wisely.

Have a wonderful week!

Sweet Summertime- looking back on Freshman year

Well... I've never had a blog before, so I'm not sure where to begin. For my CS 1410 computer class that I am taking this summer I am required to create this blog.

Here we go! For my first blog I thought I would look back on my Freshman year at Appalachian!

Starting freshman year I was extremely excited, but knew it would be a tough transition. Knowing how much I enjoyed being home and with my family it was not easy packing up and moving off to college over 2 hours away. I had always wanted to go to a small college close to home, until I fell in love with Appalachian State University. For some reason I knew that God's plan for my life involved attending! I wasn't sure what to think and it was different than I anticipated... but in a good way! After taking a while to get adjusted to living in the mountains, walking up lots of hills, wearing multiple layers of clothing, and being surrounded by lots of people I didn't know, I had a wonderful first year! It was so obvious to me that God was present in this entire journey (although he already has been). Through CRU, a campus ministry I go to, and a bible study I attended, all I learned and my love for the Lord grew far greater than I could have ever imagined. The friends I've met and opportunities I have had been nothing but things that God had in place all along! Looking back.. freshman year was filled with many tears, laughs, friends, memories, and sweet time with The Father :) 

I couldn't have asked for a better first year of college!

God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! - Ephesians 3:20 MSG

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. - Jeremiah 29:13
