Final Push Through IS101

    Hi everybody and welcome back to my blog. I know it's been quite some time but between IS101, me getting sick, my other two classes and my job finally providing me with more hours (a little too late now but that's a topic for another day) I've been busy. Speaking of IS101 lets hop straight into today's topic,  4.5.5 Skills Lab: Format Pages and 5.7.9 Skills Lab: Use Advanced Functions. The most life changing skill I have learned through my entire experience in IS101 is simply page breaks. It's quite funny because I just ended up using this skill a couple of days ago when I was reviewing/editing my Resume. My column wasn't going the way I needed to in Google Docs, so I switched over to Word and fixed it in seconds. I'm sure that there was a way to accomplish that in Docs but I have grown so accustomed to Word that its been my go to for everything as of late.
    Unlike with Word, I haven't had the chance to experience (5.7.9) Excels Skills Lab: Use Advanced Functions outside of class but this particular LabSim project is one of the key reasons why I have earned my Excel certification. I seriously would have never thought that Microsoft Excel was anything complex but I respect people who use this in their everyday lives a lot more now. Putting information into those tiny little cells is more complex than you could ever imagine. I practiced so much and am very proud of just how much I have accomplished in this course and can't wait to receive my last two certificates.
    With all of this information being said I am slightly off course when it comes to my IS101 assignments but if I can dedicate a day to catch up I know that I wont have anything to worry about come the end of this class. Very excited to see if I can finish this course for good!

IS101 Checkup and My Experience With Wireless Networks (:

I am going to start off this blog by stating that I am very lucky and thankful for Mr. Wu to apply all of my previous coursework from last semester to this semester. Due to this, I have had a very easy start to this class as I don't have to stress too much on my LabSim courses. That means I have more time to work on the discussion post and all of the assignments he has assigned this class. Other than that, my first two weeks in this course have been met with some challenges due to how long it takes my brain to process what each task requires of me. But because Mr. Wu has been so helpful I have been able to not stress over assignments alone and ask for help whenever I may need it even if it's at odd hours of the night. 
I have chosen the LabSim task 2.5.14 Applied Lab: Connect to a Wireless Network. It's all around us and with me having T-Mobile and my service almost always never working connecting to a Wireless Network is almost like a muscle memory for me and my devices. I currently have an Xbox, a phone, an iPad, and a laptop which all are connected to the WIFI Networks I frequently use. For example, CSN, work, home, etc. I am positive we all have experience connecting devices to wireless networks as the state of our world has grown more technology-oriented. 
Thank You So Much For Reading My Blog!!😁

Mini Introduction

Hi! My name is Jenae Browning and I'm currently attending college at CSN. This semester at CSN I was originally super excited to start and finally get my mind in the right spot to obtain a degree but unfortunately a week before classes began my boyfriend actually broke up with me. I know this may seem insignificant and not something that may matter but I suffer from depression and things like this are why I'm actually taking two of my classes for the second time. I'm more sad than angry because he knew how hard school was for me and for him to break up with me right before it started hurts and has been hurting me ever since. I guess I can take this as a good thing because he didn't do it right before exams or anything else important but still, I've been hurting and trying to feel better every day but nothing has changed. I know for a first blog this is pretty out there but writing has been the only thing helping me through this breakup so this was a perfect opportunity to share my thoughts. If anyone has anything they would like to share with me, whether about their own experiences or for advice I'm always down to listen. I'm hoping that by the end of this semester, I feel a whole lot better. But for right now. This is me. And breakups suck.
