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!
